Mach #-Area Relation

• If the M = 1 at throat the flow is chocked.

• For each value of A/A* there are two solutions, one subsonic, the other supersonic.

• If M=1 at the smallest cross-sectional area the mass flow rate is largest.

• If M < 1 at minimum area (A > A*), pretend.

• If A reduced below A*, decreases.

Converging Nozzle Flow• Steady, adiabatic, reversible, no work flow• If backpressure pB = patm: no flow• As pB is lowered: flow• Assume here pB = pe • Eventually pB so low,

(pe/p0=.528), Me = 1• Nozzle chocked; lowering pB no longer changes

conditions in nozzle (message of lower pB cannot pass through sonic throat).

Here pB no longer equal pe (see later)

Converging Nozzle Flow

• If nozzle chocked, flow rate fixed for given upstream stagnation pressure and temperature.

• Use as flow-meter (chocked orifice meter).

• Assumed flow from atmosphere to partially evacuated vessel; similar from pressurized vessel to atmosphere or lower pressure vessel
