exhaust nozzle exit
1fixed-area nozzle/fixed-area exhaust nozzle — On a jet engine, an exhaust nozzle exit opening that remains constant in the area. See exhaust nozzle …
2Rocket 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… …
3de 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… …
4De 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.… …
5Propelling 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… …
6propelling nozzle — A convergent/divergent duct in the exhaust system of a gas turbine engine, where the remaining gas energy is converted into velocity to produce thrust. In a gas turbine engine, the exit velocity of gases is subsonic at low thrust conditions only …
7pre-exit thrust reverser — A thrust reverser system installed forward of the exhaust nozzle. See thrust reverser …
8Expanding nozzle — The expanding nozzle is a type of rocket nozzle that, unlike traditional designs, maintains its efficiency at a wide range of altitudes. It is a member of the class of altitude compensating nozzles, a class that also includes the plug nozzle and… …
9Plug nozzle — The plug nozzle is a type of rocket engine nozzle that, unlike traditional designs, maintains its efficiency at a wide range of altitudes. It is a member of the class of altitude compensating nozzles, but unlike the aerospike, the plug design is… …
10Altitude compensating nozzle — An altitude compensating nozzle is a class of rocket engine nozzles that are designed to operate efficiently across a wide range of altitudes.Conventional designsThe basic concept of any engine bell is to efficiently direct the flow of exhaust… …
