Nozzle Problems(General)
A steam is supplied at 7 bar and 2750C.The divergent portion is 50mm long and throat diameter is 5 mm .Find the cone angle of divergent portion so that steam may leave the nozzle at 1 bar. Loss in the nozzle is 12% in divergent portion only. Determine velocity and temperature at throat. Steam at a pressure of 10 bar and dryness fraction of 0.98 is discharges through convergent divergent nozzle to a back pressure a 0.1 bar. The mass flow rate is 10 kg/kW h. If power developed is 200 kW. Determine (1) Pressure at throat (2) Number of nozzle required if throat section is rectangular 5 mm x 10 mm.(3) the cross section (with same aspect ratio at throat) at exit if the 10% enthalpy loss is in divergent part only. A steam nozzle supplied a steam at 15 bar and 350 0 C. and discharges at 1 bar. The divergent portion of nozzle is 80 mm long and throat diameter is 6 mm. Determine the cone angle of divergent portion. Assume 12% of total enthalpy is lost in friction in divergent portion. Also determine the velocity and condition of steam at throat. A convergent-divergent nozzle is supplied a steam at 10 bar and 2700C.The divergent portion is 3.2 cm long and throat diameter is 6 mm .Find the semi cone angle of divergent portion so that steam may leave the nozzle at 1.2
