nozzle expansion ratio
1Propelling nozzle — A propelling nozzle is a component of a jet engine that is found at the tail of the engine that operates to form an exhaust jet and to maximise the use of the exhaust gas s energy throughout the engine so that the maximum overall thrust is… …
2de Laval nozzle — Diagram of a de Laval nozzle, showing approximate flow velocity (v), together with the effect on temperature (t) and pressure (p) A de Laval nozzle (or convergent divergent nozzle, CD nozzle or con di nozzle) is a tube that is pinched in the… …
3De Laval nozzle — A de Laval nozzle (or convergent divergent nozzle, CD nozzle or con di nozzle) is a tube that is pinched in the middle, making an hourglass shape. It is used as a means of accelerating the flow of a gas passing through it to a supersonic speed.… …
4Rocket engine nozzle — A rocket engine nozzle is a propelling nozzle usually of the de Laval type used in a rocket engine to expand and accelerate the combustion gases, from burning propellants, so that the exhaust gases exit the nozzle at hypersonic… …
5Overall pressure ratio — In aeronautical engineering, the term overall pressure ratio is defined as the ratio of the stagnation pressure as measured at the front and rear of the compressor of a gas turbine engine. Generally speaking, a higher overall pressure ratio… …
6Rocket engine — RS 68 being tested at NASA s Stennis Space Center. The nearly transparent exhaust is due to this engine s exhaust being mostly superheated steam (water vapor from its propellants, hydrogen and oxygen) …
7Rocket — This article is about vehicles powered by rocket engines. For other uses, see Rocket (disambiguation). A Soyuz U, at Baikonur Site 1/5 A rocket is a missile, spacecraft, aircraft or other vehicle which obtains thrust from a rocket engi …
