    Nozzle Work
Click For Summary
A gas turbine nozzle converts high-temperature, low-velocity air into low-temperature, high-velocity air, primarily through principles of fluid dynamics, including Bernoulli's principle. The discussion highlights the need for a deeper understanding of various nozzle types, particularly in gas turbines and jet engines, which can be convergent, divergent, or a combination of both. Participants suggest that any device altering fluid or gas flow speed qualifies as a nozzle, including those found in carburetors and airbrushes. Several online resources are recommended for further exploration of nozzle mechanics and applications. Overall, the conversation emphasizes the complexity and variety of nozzles in engineering contexts.

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.

Start with using Google:

That took a whopping 4 seconds.

hey ramesh tell me about gas turbine nozzle

and fred u rok...
 
My idea is that I want to use immerse Whitetail Antlers in a fishtank to measure their volumetric displacement (the Boone and Crockett system is the current record measurement standard to place in a juxtaposition with) I would use some sight glass plumbed into the side of the tank to get the change in height so that I can multiply by the tank cross-section. Simple Idea. But... Is there a simple mechanical way to amplify the height in the sight glass to increase measurement precision...
