The exit velocity of a nozzle is 1500 ft/s. If \eta_{\text {nozzle }}=0.88 what is the ideal exit velocity?

The nozzle efficiency is given by Eq. 7.30 and since we have the actual exit velocity we get

V _{ e  s }^{2}= V _{ a  c }^{2} / \eta_{\text {nozzle }} \Rightarrow

 

V _{ e  s }= V _{ ac } / \sqrt{\eta_{\text {nozzle }}}=1500( ft / s ) / \sqrt{0.88}= 1 5 9 9   ft / s

………………………………..

Eq.7.30 : \eta_{ nozz }=\frac{ V _{e}^{2} / 2}{ V _{e s}^{2} / 2}
