Quasi-One-Dimensional Flow
Distinction Between True 1-D Flow and Quasi 1-D Flow • In “true” 1-D flow Cross sectional area is strictly constant • In quasi-1-D flow, cross section varies as a Function of the longitudinal coordinate, x • Flow Properties are assumed constant across any cross-section • Analytical simplification very useful for evaluating Flow properties in Nozzles, tubes, ducts, and diffusers. Where the cross sectional area is large when compared to length

Maximum Capacity of An Intake/Nozzle • Consider a discontinuity at throat “choked-flow” Nozzle … (I.e. M=1 at Throat) • Then comparing the massflow /unit area at throat to some other station.
Take the ratio of the above:
Design Analysis For a known value of Mach number, it is easy to calculate area ratio. Throat area sizing is the first step in the design. If we know the details of the resource/requirements, we can calculate the size of throat.

Numerical Solution for Mach Number Caluculation • Use “Newton’s Method” to extract numerical solution • Define: • At correct Mach number (for given A/A*) … • Expand F(M) is Taylor’s series about some arbitrary Mach number M(j)
• Solve for M
• From Earlier Definition , thus Still exact expression • if M(j) is chosen to be “close” to M And we can truncate after the first order terms with “little” Loss of accuracy
• First Order approximation of solution for M “Hat” indicates that solution is no longer exact • However; one would anticipate that “estimate is closer than original guess”
• If we substitute back into the approximate expression • And we would anticipate that “refined estimate” …. Iteration 1

Remarks on Isentropic Nozzle Design Length of the nozzle is immaterial for an isentropic nozzle. Strength requirements of nozzle material may decide the nozzle length. Either Mach number variation or Area variation or Pressure variation is specified as a function or arbitrary length unit. Nozzle design attains maximum capacity when the exit Mach number is unity.
Converging Nozzle p0 Pb,critical
Operational Characteristics of Nozzles A variable area passage designed to accelerate the a gas flow is considered for study. The concern here is with the effect of changes in the upstream and downstream pressures on the nature of the inside flow and on the mass flow rate through a nozzle. Four different cases considered for analysis are: Converging nozzle with constant upstream conditions. Converging-diverging nozzle with constant upstream conditions. Converging nozzle with constant downstream conditions. Converging-diverging nozzle with constant downstream conditions.

Convergent-Divergent Nozzle Under Design Conditions
Convergent-Divergent Nozzle with High Back Pressure p*< pb1<p0 pthroat> p*
Convergent-Divergent Nozzle with High Back Pressure When pb is very nearly the same as p0 the flow remains subsonic throughout. The flow in the nozzle is then similar to that in a venturi. The local pressure drops from p0 to a minimum value at the throat, pthroat , which is greater than p*. The local pressure increases from throat to exit plane of the nozzle. The pressure at the exit plate of the nozzle is equal to the back pressure. This trend will continue for a particular value of back pressure.
Convergent-Divergent Nozzle with High Back Pressure At all these back pressures the exit plane pressure is equal to the back pressure. pthroat> p*
At exit with high back pressure pb At throat with high back pressure pb
For a given value of high back pressure corresponding throat pressure can be calculated. As exit area is higher than throat area throat pressure is always less than exit plane pressure. An decreasing exit pressure produces lowering throat pressure
