What is the portion of the nozzle called where the angle between the tangent to the wall and horizontal decreases?

A)
Divergent section
B)
Expansion section
C)
Convergen section
D)
Straightening section

Correct Answer :   Straightening section


Explanation : When we see the nozzle contour, there are two sections. One where the angle θ which is the angle formed between the tangent to the wall and horizontal increases until it reaches a maximum point. After this, θ reduces until it is equal to zero at the nozzle exit. This section is known as straightening section.
