Mechanical Engineering : Steam Nozzles and Turbines - Quiz(MCQ)

The flowin the convergent portion of the nozzle is sub-sonic.

The flow in the divergent portion of the nozzle is super-sonic.

The critical pressure gives the velocity of steam at the throat equal to the velocity of sound.

To increase the velocity of steam above sonic velocity (super-sonic) by expanding steam below the critical pressure, the divergent portion for the nozzle is not necessary.
