Overview
The ideal subsonic nozzle, diffuser and thrust analysis is presented when air, argon, helium and nitrogen are considered as the working fluid. The technical performance of mentioned compressible flow components is presented with a given relationship between pressure and temperature as a function of Mach Number.
This one hour course provides the compressible flow components T - s diagrams and their major performance trends (stagnation over static temperature and pressure) are plotted in a few figures as a function of the Mach Number. In the course, the student will become familiar with the compressible flow components (nozzle, diffuser and thrust) and their T - s diagrams, operation and major performance trends.
To receive PDH credit, the student must take a multiple choice quiz of ten (10) questions.
