Best Answer

By Bernoulli's principle velocity head x pressure head is always constant

So as velocity increases at the nozzle the pressure falls down automatically.

What is the difference between Diffuser and nozzle?

A nozzle is a device which increases the velocity of fluid by decreasing the Pressure but contrary to it Diffuser is a device that increases the Pressure of fluid at the expense of its velocity


Why does a partially inflated balloon expand as it rises?

The pressure in the balloon stays the same, but the pressure outside drops as the altitude increases. And as the outside pressure drops, the balloon expands.


Why does a compressed air can get cold?

When the can is held upright and activated, gas flows out through the nozzle. The pressure inside the can therefore drops, and is no longer sufficient to keep the contents as a liquid; so some of the liquid boils, until the equilibrium pressure is re-established. The vaporization of a liquid is endothermic, so heat is absorbed, and the can becomes cold. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gas_duster


Why does air rush into a vacuum cleaner nozzle?

To understand why air rushes into a vacuum cleaner nozzle we need to trace air flow in the machine. Let's do that. The motor in a vacuum cleaner spins a fan, and the fan moves air. The air intake for the fan is connected to ducting that is routed to the nozzle. As the fan forces air out in its exhaust stream, it creates low pressure on the suction side of the fan. This low pressure (a partial vacuum) is felt along the air path to the nozzle. At the nozzle, outside air pressure forces air into the ducting where air pressure is lower. The moving air has picked up debris and carries it along. That debris ends up in a bag or filtered dirt canister or someplace else where it can accumulate and be collected for disposal. This applies to machines that have bags or filters to get the debris out of the air stream before it goes through the motor to keep it cool. Some machines isolate the motor from the air stream created by the fan, and the motor is cooled by another fan. These "direct" vacuums operate in a way that sees the air stream and the debris pass through the fan and be driven into a bag. The operation of the fan has created a low pressure area along the ducting between it (the fan) and the nozzle. Outside air pressure, being greater than the low pressure created by the fan and ducted to the nozzle, forces air into the nozzle.


Why pressure drops before storm comes?

Areas of high pressure are calm, but low pressures signal stormy conditions.

What is critical pressure in nozzle?

Critical pressure in a nozzle is the pressure at which the flow of material through the nozzle reaches its maximum. Beyond which any increase in pressure will not result in an increase in flow. The point at which the velocity of a fluid in the throat of the nozzle reaches the local speed of sound, creating a sonic wave, or a sonic choke.

Why can you only get 3 or 4 gals of gas in tank before nozzle trips?

Generally this happens because of the amount of gas flowing from the nozzle. The nozzle "trips" due to back pressure. When the tank is full, gas pushes back on the nozzle and it shuts off. If the amount of fuel coming out of the nozzle fills up the filler tube going to your tank it also will cause back pressure and shut off the nozzle.


Why does gas nozzle at pump stop when gas tank is empty?

It doesn't. It stops when the tank is full. Assuming you are asking why the gas nozzle shuts off when the tank is full, I am not an engineer but I would guess that there is some type of pressure sensor in the nozzle that reads back pressure coming from the neck of the vehicle fuel tank and when that pressure reaches a certain point, it shuts the nozzle off.

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.
