Expansion Nozzle Supersonic

AI Thread Summary

The De Laval nozzle is a critical component in achieving supersonic flow, designed to accelerate gas to supersonic speeds through a converging-diverging shape. It operates by reducing pressure and increasing velocity as the gas passes through the nozzle. Key applications include rocket propulsion and jet engines, where efficient thrust generation is essential. Technical resources and handbooks on fluid dynamics and nozzle design are recommended for deeper understanding and practical guidance. Mastery of the De Laval nozzle design is crucial for mechanical engineering students focused on aerospace applications.

Thread 'Physics of Stretch: What pressure does a band apply on a cylinder?'

Scenario 1 (figure 1) A continuous loop of elastic material is stretched around two metal bars. The top bar is attached to a load cell that reads force. The lower bar can be moved downwards to stretch the elastic material. The lower bar is moved downwards until the two bars are 1190mm apart, stretching the elastic material. The bars are 5mm thick, so the total internal loop length is 1200mm (1190mm + 5mm + 5mm). At this level of stretch, the load cell reads 45N tensile force. Key numbers...

Thread 'Cantilever help'

I'm trying to decide what size and type of galvanized steel I need for 2 cantilever extensions. The cantilever is 5 ft. The space between the two cantilever arms is a 17 ft Gap the center 7 ft of the 17 ft Gap we'll need to Bear approximately 17,000 lb spread evenly from the front of the cantilever to the back of the cantilever over 5 ft. I will put support beams across these cantilever arms to support the load evenly
