Which nozzle is used in supersonic wind tunnel?(a) Convergent(b) Divergent(c) Convergent – Divergent(d) ConicalThe question was asked during an interview for a job.The question is from Supersonic Wind Tunnels in section Compressible Flow through Nozzles, Diffusers and Wind Tunnels of Aerodynamics

Answer»

The correct option is (c) Convergent – DIVERGENT

Easy EXPLANATION: Supersonic WIND tunnel produces flow of Mach number above 1. This is achieved using convergent – divergent nozzle. This selection is based on area – VELOCITY relation, according to which the subsonic flow accelerates in the convergent section to SONIC speed after which the speed is further accelerated in the divergent section.
