GUNT Characteristics of Nozzles is a comprehensive experimental system designed to investigate the aerodynamic and fluid dynamic behavior of compressible airflows through various nozzle types. It demonstrates critical fluid flow phenomena such as thrust generation, the choking effect, and the efficiency of convergent and convergent-divergent nozzles.
Product Features
- Two experimental layouts: one for reaction force (thrust) and one for action force (impact)
- Compressed air used to replicate supersonic flow conditions
- Demonstrates the “choking effect” where mass flow ceases to increase at critical pressure ratios
- Force measuring device uses an electronic bending beam for precise deformation and force data
- Reaction force setup includes a nozzle inserted directly into the force sensor
- Action force setup includes a baffle plate with adjustable nozzle position for variable impact distance
- Air pressure adjustable upstream and downstream of the nozzle
- Four convergent-divergent and one convergent nozzle included for comparative studies
- Pressures and mass flow rate detected along with force for complete flow analysis
- Temperature measurements support accurate mass flow calculations
Benefits
- Ideal for teaching key aerodynamic concepts such as nozzle efficiency and supersonic flow behavior
- Hands-on experimentation with thrust and impact force analysis
- Real-time measurement and observation of fluid dynamics in compressible flow conditions
- Supports engineering training in propulsion, aerospace, and thermodynamics
