About this document
Nozzle Dynamics in Thermodynamics-II by Fatima Khan is a document available to read on EtoBox.
Here are the key points about how the cross-sectional area of a nozzle varies with decreasing pressure: - At the inlet, the fluid has a low velocity and high density. As area decreases, velocity increases due to conservation of mass. - As pressure decreases down the nozzle, density decreases faster than velocity increases (due to the isentropic relation between pressure, density and velocity). - Therefore specific volume increases faster than velocity. Since flow rate is constant, area must decrease to
