Abstract
A graph of specific volume versus velocity is useful for describing effects in steady, one-dimensional compressible fluid flow through a converging–diverging nozzle. From a thermodynamic point of view there is nothing new in the approach, but it may serve as a useful introduction to the characteristics of compressible flow – particularly the special conditions which prevail at the throat of a choked nozzle.Keywords
