A Detailed Study on Performance Evaluation of Multiple Co-Axial Nozzles

Abstract

A nozzle is a device which converts the PE (Pressure Energy) of flowing jet into KE (Kinetic Energy). In this paper we tried to determine the performance of various types of nozzles i.e., with varying the inlet cross section dimension (square, circular, hexagon etc.) and keeping the outlet condition same i.e., circular cross section and analysis by using CFD (Computational fluid dynamics) tools (Gambit, Catia and Ansys Fluent).

Keywords: Nozzles, CFD tools, fluid flow
