2. Propelling nozzle - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Propelling_nozzle

   A nozzle operates according to the Venturi effect to bring the exhaust gasses to ambient pressure, while forming them into a propulsive jet; if the pressure upstream of the nozzle is high enough, the flow will reach sonic speed . The role of the nozzle in back-pressuring the engine is explained below.

3. Pressure washing - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pressure_washing

   A pressure washer is used to remove old paint from a boat. Patio flagstones being pressure washed using a rotary nozzle. Pressure washing or power washing is the use of high-pressure water spray to remove loose paint, mold, grime, dust, mud, and dirt from surfaces and objects such as buildings, vehicles and concrete surfaces.

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. 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 .

7. Turbomachinery - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turbomachinery

   Pressure and enthalpy drop over the rotor blades is minimal. Velocity will decrease over the rotor. [1] [9] Newton's second law describes the transfer of energy. Impulse turbomachines do not require a pressure casement around the rotor since the fluid jet is created by the nozzle prior to reaching the blading on the rotor.
