A convergentâdivergent nozzle has an exit area to throat area ratio of 4. It is supplied with air from a large reservoir in which the pressure is kept at 500 kPa and it discharges into another large reservoir in which the pressure is kept at 10 kPa. Expansion waves form at the exit edges of the nozzle causing the discharge flow to be directed outward.
(a) Find the angle that the edge of the discharge flow makes to the axis of the nozzle.
