Why Fluid Speed Increases in the Divergent Portion of a Convergent-Divergent nozzle?
Wiki User
∙ 7y ago
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.

What is the difference between convergent divergent nozzle and venturi tube?
In case of venturi meter, at the diverging section mach number is less than 1. however in diverging section of a nozzle mach number is greater than 1.
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.
What is the nozzle coefficient of a bit nozzle?
0.42
How does a wedco model 40730 nozzle work?
The Wedco Nozzle is a CARB compliant spill-proof gas can nozzle. With the nozzle in place you can invert your gas can and it will not leak. Then simply push the nozzle lock and push the nozzle against the rim of the filling throat of the tank you're filling to start the flow of fuel. If you lift the nozzle away from the rim the flow stops.
Why is nozzle control governing not employed a reaction turbine?
in reaction turbine pressure compounding is employed as every stage has a set of nozzle ring nozzle control is not feasible.
What is convergent divergent nozzle?
Convergent nozzle indicates nozzles will converge with an end closing together at the end divergent nozzles increase size at the end. If air flows in this direction: ---> Convergent nozzle > Divergent nozzle <
What is the working principle of convergent-divergent nozzle?
A NOZZLE IS A DUCT WHICH CONVERT HEAT ENERGY INTO KINETIC ENERGY.IT INCREASES VELOCITY OF FLUID PASSING THROUGH IT ,AT THE EXPENCE OF PRESSURE. STEAM EXPANDS IN NOZZLE FOLLOW RANKINE CYCLE.FLOW THROUGH NOZZLE IS ISENTROPIC. mritunjay04@gmail.com
What is steam nozzles types of seam nozzles?
1) convergent nozzle 2)divergent nozzle
What is the difference between convergent divergent nozzle and venturi tube?
In case of venturi meter, at the diverging section mach number is less than 1. however in diverging section of a nozzle mach number is greater than 1.
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.
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
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
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.
Is the pressure at the throat of a convergent-divergent nozzle highest or lowest?
coz area is less thats y pressure is more
What is the function of a rocket nozzle?
The function of a rocket nozzle is to allow the thrust to be focuses and amplified. It also prolongs the burn time and greatly increases performance.
Why does a gas flowing supersonically in Laval nozzle continue to accelerate even though the flow area is increasing in the divergent section of the nozzle?
In the converging section of the nozzle,relatively high pressure expanding has a small increase in specific volume. At lower pressures the increase in specific volume is large.
