F810 Nozzle Pressure Distribution Unit
Enables students to study the effect of inlet and outlet pressure ratio on the mass flow and pressure distribution in nozzles.
Operating from a normal laboratory compressed air supply the unit is supplied with one convergent and two convergent-divergent nozzles of identical throat diameter. These nozzles can easily be interchanged and are designed to operate at different theoretical expansion ratios. Each nozzle is equipped with axial pressure tappings that can be connected to the 8 panel mounted pressure gauges.The unit is fully instrumented to measure pressures, mass flow and temperatures over a wide range of pressure ratios.
Together, the Nozzle Performance Test Unit F791 and the Nozzle Pressure Distribution Unit F810 provide all of the basic nozzle laboratory experiments for compressible fluids.
