Abstract:
This Chapter refers to the characteristics of airflow at high speeds, i.e. speeds in the range of the speed of sound and higher. According to the relevant theory, for a flow in a closed pipe to accelerate from low (subsonic) velocities to supersonic velocities, the pipe must have a specific configuration, i.e. show a gradual reduction in its cross-section and then a gradual increase. A pipe with these morphological characteristics is called a DeLaval nozzle. In this Chapter, the behavior of airflow through a DeLaval nozzle is examined experimentally. The experimental results are compared with corresponding theoretical results for ideal flow.
