Nozzle
This section provides an isentropic nozzle analysis when the working fluid is air.
Analysis
In the presented nozzle analysis, only air is considered as the working fluid behaving as a perfect gas --
specific heat has a constant value. Ideal gas state equation is valid -- pv = RT.
Air enters a nozzle at point 1 and it exits the nozzle at point 2. Isentropic expansion is considered with no
entropy change.
Figure 1 presents a nozzle schematic layout.

Figure 3 presents nozzle performance -- stagnation over static temperature and pressure ratio values are
provided as a function of the Mach Number. Only subsonic nozzle operation is considered. It should be
noted that air enters the nozzle at the stagnation conditions of 1,500 [K] and 10 [atm] of absolute pressure.

Assumptions
Working fluid is air. There is no friction and heat transfer. Expansion is isentropic -- there is no entropy
change. Ideal gas state equation is valid -- pv = RT. Air behaves as a perfect gas -- specific heat has a
