Hi There,
Im studying thermodynamics at the moment and there's one statement about nozzles that I just haven't been able to understand. In my mind when a fluid exits a nozzle it would have a higher pressure than the inlet. Could someone please explain in what sense the pressure of a fluid drops as it goes through a nozzle? Are they talking total pressure over an area? my book doesn't explain why just makes that statement.
Thanks in advance
