Laval Nozzle Pressure Apparatus

Laval Nozzle Pressure Apparatus

•    Demonstrates the thermodynamic and fluid mechanics of the adiabatic expansion of air through subsonic and supersonic nozzles.
•    Includes interchangeable convergent, convergent - divergent Laval nozzles and convergent parallel nozzle.Compressed air passes through the pressure regulator and an isolating valve.
•    The airflow then settles as it passes along a horizontal pipe, through an orifice and out to atmosphere.
•    The temperature and pressure displays accurately measure temperatures and pressures at key points around the apparatus, including the pressures around the orifice which students use to determine overall mass flow.
•    For ease of visibility and for good engineering practice, the analogue gauge also shows pressure in the chest.
•    A stainless-steel probe on a manually adjustable, vertical traverse measures the pressure distribution along the axis of the nozzle.
•    A digital indicator measures the probe position in the nozzle.
Its floor-standing frame holds:
•    A pressure chest with a removable lid and nozzle traverse mechanism.
•    A useful worktop.
•    An instrument frame with digital pressure and temperature displays.
•    A pressure regulator to maintain the inlet/upstream pressure, with an analogue reference pressure gauge.
•    Three interchangeable, profiled and polished brass nozzles with mimics that fit on the traverse mechanism.
Dimensions and weight:
•    Length 2900 mm x depth 600 mm x height 1730 mm and 123 kg
