Types and Function of Steam Nozzles by Nikita is a document available to read on EtoBox.
Steam nozzles convert the heat energy of steam into kinetic energy. There are two main types of nozzles: convergent and convergent-divergent. Convergent nozzles decrease in cross-sectional area from entrance to exit, while convergent-divergent nozzles first decrease then increase in area. Flow through nozzles depends on throat and exit areas at a given pressure drop. The expansion of steam through a nozzle is considered isentropic, with no work done or heat transfer. Maximum discharge occurs at the critical
