A nozzle is a device designed to control the direction or characteristics of a fluid flow (particularly to increase velocity) as it exits (or enters) an enclosed chamber or pipe.

A nozzle is ofttimes a pipe or tube of varying cantankerous exclusive surface area, and it can be used to direct or alter the period of a fluid (liquid or gas). Nozzles are oft used to control the charge per unit of flow, speed, management, mass, shape, and/or the pressure level of the stream that emerges from them. In a nozzle, the velocity of fluid increases at the expense of its pressure free energy.

Types [edit]

Jet [edit]

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 unremarkably used for calorie-free before the development of electric light. Other types of fluid jets are found in carburetors, where smooth calibrated orifices are used to regulate the flow of fuel into an engine, and in jacuzzis or spas.

Another specialized jet is the laminar jet. This is a water jet that contains devices to smoothen out the force per unit area and menses, and gives laminar flow, equally its name suggests. This gives improve results for fountains.

The foam jet is another blazon of jet which uses foam instead of a gas or fluid.

Nozzles used for feeding hot nail into a blast furnace or forge are called tuyeres.

Jet nozzles are also used in big rooms where the distribution of air via ceiling diffusers is not possible or non practical. Diffusers that uses jet nozzles are called jet diffuser where it volition be arranged in the side wall areas in order to distribute air. When the temperature difference between the supply air and the room air changes, the supply air stream is deflected upwards, to supply warm air, or downwards, to supply cold air.^[i]

High velocity [edit]

Frequently, the goal of a nozzle is to increase the kinetic energy of the flowing medium at the expense of its pressure and internal free energy.

Nozzles can be described as convergent (narrowing down from a wide diameter to a smaller diameter in the direction of the menses) or divergent (expanding from a smaller diameter to a larger i). A de Laval nozzle has a convergent section followed past a divergent section and is often called a convergent-divergent (CD) nozzle ("con-di nozzle").

Convergent nozzles accelerate subsonic fluids. If the nozzle pressure ratio is high plenty, then the flow will reach sonic velocity at the narrowest point (i.eastward. the nozzle throat). In this situation, the nozzle is said to be choked.

Increasing the nozzle pressure ratio further will not increase the throat Mach number in a higher place one. Downstream (i.e. external to the nozzle) the flow is free to aggrandize to supersonic velocities; nevertheless, Mach one can be a very high speed for a hot gas because the speed of sound varies every bit the square root of absolute temperature. This fact is used extensively in rocketry where hypersonic flows are required and where propellant mixtures are deliberately chosen to farther increase the sonic speed.

Divergent nozzles slow fluids if the flow is subsonic, but they accelerate sonic or supersonic fluids.

Convergent-divergent nozzles can therefore accelerate fluids that have choked in the convergent section to supersonic speeds. This CD process is more efficient than assuasive a convergent nozzle to aggrandize supersonically externally. The shape of the divergent section as well ensures that the direction of the escaping gases is straight backwards, as any sideways component would not contribute to thrust.

Propelling [edit]

A jet exhaust produces a internet thrust from the free energy obtained from combusting fuel which is added to the inducted air. This hot air passes through a high speed nozzle, a propelling nozzle, which enormously increases its kinetic energy.^[2]

Increasing exhaust velocity increases thrust for a given mass menses, only matching the exhaust velocity to the air speed provides the best energy efficiency. Even so, momentum considerations preclude jet aircraft from maintaining velocity while exceeding their exhaust jet speed. The engines of supersonic jet aircraft, such as those of fighters and SST aircraft (e.g. Concorde) virtually always achieve the high frazzle speeds necessary for supersonic flight by using a CD nozzle despite weight and toll penalties; conversely, subsonic jet engines use relatively low, subsonic, exhaust velocities and therefore employ simple convergent nozzle, or fifty-fifty bypass nozzles at even lower speeds.

Rocket motors maximise thrust and exhaust velocity by using convergent-divergent nozzles with very large area ratios and therefore extremely loftier pressure ratios. Mass flow is at a premium because all the propulsive mass is carried with vehicle, and very loftier frazzle speeds are desirable.

Magnetic [edit]

Magnetic nozzles take too been proposed for some types of propulsion, such as VASIMR, in which the flow of plasma is directed past magnetic fields instead of walls made of solid matter.

Spray [edit]

Many nozzles produce a very fine spray of liquids.

Atomizer nozzles are used for spray painting, perfumes, carburetors for internal combustion engines, spray on deodorants, antiperspirants and many other similar uses.
Air-aspirating nozzles utilise an opening in the cone shaped nozzle to inject air into a stream of water based foam (CAFS/AFFF/FFFP) to brand the concentrate "foam up". Most commonly constitute on foam extinguishers and foam handlines.
Swirl nozzles inject the liquid in tangentially, and it spirals into the centre so exits through the central hole. Due to the vortexing this causes the spray to come up out in a cone shape.

Vacuum [edit]

Vacuum cleaner nozzles come in several dissimilar shapes. Vacuum nozzles are used in vacuum cleaners.

Shaping [edit]

Some nozzles are shaped to produce a stream that is of a particular shape. For example, extrusion molding is a way of producing lengths of metals or plastics or other materials with a particular cantankerous-section. This nozzle is typically referred to as a die.
