2. Propelling nozzle - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Propelling_nozzle

   A propelling nozzle is a nozzle that converts the internal energy of a working gas into propulsive force; it is the nozzle, which forms a jet, that separates a gas turbine, or gas generator, from a jet engine. Propelling nozzles accelerate the available gas to subsonic, transonic, or supersonic velocities depending on the power setting of the ...

3. de Laval nozzle - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/De_Laval_nozzle

   A de Laval nozzle (or convergent-divergent nozzle, CD nozzle or con-di nozzle) is a tube which is pinched in the middle, with a rapid convergence and gradual divergence. It is used to accelerate a compressible fluid to supersonic speeds in the axial (thrust) direction, by converting the thermal energy of the flow into kinetic energy .

4. Components of jet engines - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Components_of_jet_engines

   The propelling nozzle converts a gas turbine or gas generator into a jet engine. Power available in the gas turbine exhaust is converted into a high speed propelling jet by the nozzle. The power is defined by typical gauge pressure and temperature values for a turbojet of 20 psi (140 kPa) and 1,000 °F (538 °C). [18]

5. Nozzle - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nozzle

   A gas jet, fluid jet, or hydro jet is a nozzle intended to eject gas or fluid in a coherent stream into a surrounding medium. Gas jets are commonly found in gas stoves , ovens , or barbecues . Gas jets were commonly used for light before the development of electric light .

6. Exhaust mixer - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exhaust_mixer

   Exhaust mixer of a JT8D engine of a Boeing 737-200. In aviation, an exhaust mixer / flow mixer is a feature of many turbofan engines, where slower, colder bypass air is mixed with faster, hotter core exhaust gases, before exhausting to atmospheric pressure through a common (mixed flow) propelling nozzle.

7. Rocket engine nozzle - Wikipedia

   Figure 1: A de Laval nozzle, showing approximate flow velocity increasing from green to red in the direction of flow Density flow in a nozzle. A rocket engine nozzle is a propelling nozzle (usually of the de Laval type) used in a rocket engine to expand and accelerate combustion products to high supersonic velocities.
