The steam flow through the nozzle may be assumed as adiabatic flow. Since no heat is supplied or rejected by the steam during flow through a nozzle and there is no work done during the flow of steam. i.e,
Q = 0 and W = 0
Velocity Of Steam :
Steam enters the nozzle with high pressure and low velocity, and leaves with high velocity and low pressure.
The Outlet Velocity (V2) of steam can be found as follows.
Consider a unit mass flow of steam through a nozzle.
Let,
V1 = Velocity of Steam at the entrance of nozzle - m/s
V2 = Velocity of Steam at any section considered - m/s
h1 = Enthalpy of steam entering the nozzle - m/s
h2 = Enthalpy of steam at any section considered - m/s
We get from steady flow equation,
V2 = 44.72 ( h1-h2)^(1/2)
