What are the advantages and disadvantages of flow nozzle?

One disadvantage in the convergent-divergent nozzle as a shock wave can take place in the nozzle A nozzle is a device that converts pressure energy to kinetic energy (increasing fluid velocity on the account of static pressure) For a convergent nozzle there is no disadvantages as it can raise the fluid velocity only for the sonic speed the convergent-divergent type raises the velocity to over than sonic speed making supersonic flow, this could make a shock wave in the nozzle that turns the supersonic flow to subsonic flow


Is the pressure at the throat of a convergent-divergent nozzle highest or lowest?

coz area is less thats y pressure is more


How does multi-stage steam jet air ejector works?

A steam ejector is a pump-like device, with no moving parts or pistons, that utilizes high-pressure steam to compress vapours or gases. This creates a vacuum in any vessel or chamber connected to the suction inlet of the ejector The adjacent diagram depicts a typical modern ejector. It consists of a motive fluid inlet nozzle and a converging-diverging outlet nozzle. In this case of a steam ejector, the motive fluid is high-pressure steam. The Venturi effect, a particular case of Bernoulli's principle, applies to the operation of this device. The high-pressure steam is converted into a high-velocity jet at the throat of the convergent-divergent nozzle which creates a low pressure at that point. The low pressure draws the suction fluid (a vapour or gas in this case) into the convergent-divergent nozzle where it mixes with the high-pressure steam. In essence, the pressure energy of the inlet steam is converted to kinetic energy in the form of velocity head at the throat of the convergent-divergent nozzle. As the mixed fluid then expands in the divergent diffuser, the kinetic energy is converted back to pressure energy at the diffuser outlet in accordance with Bernoulli's principle. The compression ratio of the steam jet ejector, P2/P1, is defined as ratio of the ejector's outlet pressure, P2, to the inlet pressure of the suction vapour or gas, P1. The entrainment ratio of the steam jet ejector, Ws/Wv, is defined as the amount of motive steam, Ws (in kg/hr), required to entrain and compress a given amount, Wv (in kg/hr), of suction vapour or gas. The compression ratio and the entrainment ratio are key parameters in designing a steam jet ejector. In practice, for suction pressure below 100 mbar absolute, more than one ejector will be used, usually with condensors between the ejector stages. Condensing of motive steam greatly improves ejector set efficiency. Both barometric and shell-and-tube surface condensers are used for this purpose. BY M.D.V.PRASAD mdvprasad007@gmail.com

Why Fluid Speed Increases in the Divergent Portion of a Convergent-Divergent nozzle?

Because the fluid is allowed to expand in the nozzle it increases velocity to fill in the voids created by the shape of the nozzle. The convergent point of the nozzle acts like a bottleneck trying to slow the fluid and compress it into the reduced crosssection of the nozzle. As it leaves the minimum crosssection it expands into the divergent spaces of the nozzle increasing in velocity as it expands. ++_+ No: it gains velocity through the convergence but in the diverging section, trades velocity for pressure.


Why is convergent-divergent nozzle generally used in steam turbines?

A convergent-divergent nozzle is generally used in steam turbines. This is because it drives generators in producing electricity with the use of turbine rotors with curved axes.


Why do rockets have a Diverging Nozzle at the exit?

To increase the exhaust velocity. +++ Pressure, not velocity. A gas flowing through a divergent nozzle gains pressure at the cost of speed.

In divergent nozzle pressure will increase or decrease?

If the flow is subsonic the pressure will increase, if however it is supersonic the pressure will decrease.
