  2. Method of characteristics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Method_of_characteristics

    Characteristics are also a powerful tool for gaining qualitative insight into a PDE. One can use the crossings of the characteristics to find shock waves for potential flow in a compressible fluid. Intuitively, we can think of each characteristic line implying a solution to along itself. Thus, when two characteristics cross, the function ...

  3. Non ideal compressible fluid dynamics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non_ideal_compressible...

    For example, the Mach number evolution of an ideal gas in a supersonic nozzle depends only on the heat capacity ratio (namely on the fluid) and on the exhaust-to-stagnation pressure ratio. [6] Considering real-gas effects, instead, even fixing the fluid and the pressure ratio, different total states yield different Mach profiles. [17]

  4. Nozzle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nozzle

    A nozzle is a device designed to control the direction or characteristics of a fluid flow (specially to increase velocity) as it exits (or enters) an enclosed chamber or pipe. A nozzle is often a pipe or tube of varying cross sectional area, and it can be used to direct or modify the flow of a fluid (liquid or gas). Nozzles are frequently used ...

  5. Isentropic nozzle flow - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isentropic_Nozzle_Flow

    A nozzle for a supersonic flow must increase in area in the flow direction, and a diffuser must decrease in area, opposite to a nozzle and diffuser for a subsonic flow. So, for a supersonic flow to develop from a reservoir where the velocity is zero, the subsonic flow must first accelerate through a converging area to a throat, followed by ...

  7. Nozzle and flapper - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nozzle_and_flapper

    The example shown is pneumatic. At sub-millimeter distances, a small movement of the flapper plate results in a large change in flow. The nozzle is fed from a chamber which is in turn fed by a restriction, so changes of flow result in changes of chamber pressure. The nozzle diameter must be larger than the restriction orifice in order to work. [2]

  8. Compounding of steam turbines - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compounding_of_steam_turbines

    In this type of compounding, the steam is expanded in a number of stages, instead of just one (nozzle) in the velocity compounding. It is done by the fixed blades which act as nozzles. The steam expands equally in all rows of fixed blade. The steam coming from the boiler is fed to the first set of fixed blades i.e. the nozzle ring.

  9. Spray nozzle - Wikipedia

    New York, 1890–1930 Example of a vintage atomizer nozzle Principle of operation of an atomizer. A spray nozzle or atomizer is a device that facilitates the dispersion of a liquid by the formation of a spray. The production of a spray requires the fragmentation of liquid structures, such as liquid sheets or ligaments, into droplets, often by ...
