HM 260 NOZZLE PERFORMANCE STUDY SYSTEM

Technical description
The critical pressure ratio and the efficiency of
nozzles can be determined using the experi-
mental set-up HM 260. It is possible to insert
various nozzles or a baffle plate into the force
measurement device. The test chamber is fitted
with two air connections. Different forces can be
determined using the different inserts and air
connections. The distance between nozzle and
baffle plate is adjustable. The nozzle air inlet
pressure is adjusted using a pressure controller.
The back pressure is set with a needle valve at
the mass flow meter. The following data are
measured: airflow rate of air, air temperature,
pressure at inlet and outlet of the nozzle and
force.

Experiments
• Critical pressure ratio (convergent-divergent
pressure ratio)
• Demonstration of choking effect
• Determination of airflow rate
• Nozzle thrust
• Nozzle efficiency
• Determination of flow rate at the narrowest
cross-section of a nozzle

• Nozzle and baffle plate system with variable distance

• Measurement of nozzle thrust or baffle plate force
• Relationship of nozzle pressure, back pressure and critical
pressure ratio
• Demonstration of„choking effect“
• Determination of nozzle efficiency
