ArE344 Lab09: Visualization of Shock Wavs in a Suprsonic Jt by using Schlirn tchniqu Why look at flow through a nozzl? Th nozzl is on of th most important physical systms on a rockt. Whatvr tchnology drivs th propllant, th nozzl is whr that combustion nrgy is turnd into thrust, and th rockt is ultimatly dpndnt on th nozzl for its prformanc. A givn nozzl will produc th most thrust at a spcific altitud: only whn th xit prssur of th nozzl and th ambint prssur ar matchd dos th nozzl rach its pak prformanc. At this point, calld third critical, flow xits smoothly from th nozzl with no shock wavs. At altituds abov or blow th dsign altitud, shock wavs will dvlop outsid, or insid th nozzl, rspctivly. This would prsnt no difficulty if rockts wr mainly usd at on altitud, but nozzl fficincy will drop off svrly abov or blow th altitud for which it was dsignd. This problm of matching th xit prssur to th ambint prssur is why th ara ratios of th Shuttl Main Engin and th Solid Rockt Boostrs ar so diffrnt. Th SRBs, which run through th lowr portion of th ascnt hav an ara ratio of about 7:1, whil th main ngins, which fir th ntir ascnt, hav a much highr dsign altitud and thus a highr ara ratio of ~77:1. This also th rason for th translatabl skirt som rockts mploy. Ths allow th nozzl to hav mor than on dsign altitud, and thus, travl furthr and fastr with lss propllant. hoto courtsy of NASA GSFC
