Nozzle Performance Study Apparatus

Product Code : SCL-CELE-14159

Overview

The Nozzle Flow and Pressure Distribution Apparatus enables the study of pressure and velocity variations in convergent and convergent-divergent (De Laval) nozzles using compressed air as a working medium.
The unit allows visualization of subsonic, supersonic, and shock wave phenomena as well as the choking effect, where the mass flow ceases to increase beyond the critical pressure ratio.

By recording the pressure distribution along the nozzle axis at multiple measurement points, students can analyze the flow behavior of compressible fluids and correlate it with theoretical models.

The setup includes three interchangeable nozzles (one convergent and two De Laval types with different lengths), a compressed air regulator, and precision instruments for measuring pressure, temperature, and mass flow rate.
