INTRODUCTION
• The *de Laval nozzle, invented by Swedish engineer Gustaf de Laval in
1888, is a critical component in rocket engines. Its unique hourglass
shape efficiently converts pressure energy into kinetic energy by
accelerating gas flow. The nozzle operates differently for subsonic and
supersonic speeds, ensuring optimal performance. Engineers study
factors like **Mach number* (flow velocity relative to sound speed)
and *nozzle pressure ratios (NPR)* to optimize designs.
Methodology

During pre-processing:
• The geometry (physical boundaries) of the problem is established.
• The fluid's volume is divided into discrete cells (the mesh), which can be
either uniform or non-uniform.
• Boundary conditions are specified, detailing the fluid's behavior and
properties at the problem's boundaries . or transient problems, initial
conditions are also set.
❑ The simulation is then initiated, and the equations are solved iteratively,
either as a steady-state or transient solution.
❑ Finally, a post-processor is used to analyze and visualize the
resulting solution.

• Boundary condition defined Contour and x-plots
Geometry
• The Geometry branch contains the part that makes up the model. In
Mechanical, there are three types of bodies which can be analyzed:.
• Solid bodies are 3D or 2D volumes or areas·
• Surface bodies are only areas.
• Line bodies are only curves
Modeling
• 𝑜A convergent-divergent nozzle is characterized by its area ratio, which is
the ratio of the exit area to the throat area. The flow conditions are
determined by the operating pressure. When the gas speed is much lower
than the speed of sound, the density remains constant, and the flow
velocity increases. The modeling is performed using ANSYS Fluent 16.2,
with the following dimensions specified:-
• Total nozzle length-200mm
• Inlet diameter-100mm
• Throat diameter-60
• Outer diameter- 160
• Convergent angle (degrees)- 150
• Divergent angle (degrees)-150
Meshing process
The mesh is a combination of discrete "elements" representing the
geometry.
The nodes and elements representing the geometry model make up
the mesh.
Controlling meshing operations is described

Boundary condition:
Nozzle inlet: Pressure was taken for the nozzle inlet as a pressure inlet
was 300000pascal.And temperatures 1430k. The analysis is carried out
under operating condition 400000Pascal. Gravity is not taken into
consideration.
Nozzle outlet: The outlet was set as pressure outlet and the
temperature is 300k and the pressure was set into 100000 Pascal.
