SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the function and mechanics of gas turbine nozzles, which convert high-temperature, low-velocity air into low-temperature, high-velocity air. Participants clarify that nozzles can be classified as convergent, divergent, or a combination of both, and they play a crucial role in altering fluid or gas flow speed. The conversation also emphasizes the importance of understanding the principles behind nozzle operation, including Bernoulli's principle. Several resources are provided for further exploration of gas turbine nozzles and their applications.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of fluid dynamics principles, including Bernoulli's principle
  • Familiarity with gas turbine engine components
  • Knowledge of nozzle types: convergent and divergent
  • Basic grasp of thermodynamics related to gas behavior
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the mechanics of gas turbine jet nozzles
  • Explore the differences between convergent and divergent nozzles
  • Study the application of Bernoulli's principle in nozzle design
  • Investigate various nozzle types used in rocket engines
USEFUL FOR

Engineers, aerospace professionals, and students interested in gas turbine technology and fluid dynamics will benefit from this discussion.

all i know about nozzle is that, it converts high temperature, low velocity air to low temperature, high velocity air.
But how does that happen? is it the bernoulii law?
Plz friends help me out and give me full details make it complex as much as u can. I want to know the A-Z about nozzles.
I browsed the net and found nothing useful...
pleasezzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz help me pleasezzzzzz

U mean gasturbine engine's jet nozzle or other. I can give you some data on gas turbine jetnozzle.
 
Yeah, that's something that needs to be asked in more detail. It sounds as if perfectz is asking about a rocket or jet nozzle, but there are lots of other types as well. Essentially, I believe that anything that changes the speed of a fluid or gas flow is considered a nozzle. They can be convergent, divergent, or a combination thereof. Even the venturi in a carbeurator or airbrush is a nozzle.
 
A nozzle is a nozzle is a nozzle. It doesn't matter where the nozzle is physically located.

That took a whopping 4 seconds.
