Which of the following is not a nozzle coefficient?

Coefficient of reaction

Coefficient of discharge

Coefficient of velocity

Coefficient of thrust

  • A.Coefficient of velocity
  • B.Coefficient of thrust
  • C.Coefficient of reaction
  • D.Coefficient of discharge

Answer: C

Correct answer: Coefficient of reaction

There is no such nozzle coefficient. The three in use are the coefficient of discharge, comparing actual with ideal mass flow; the coefficient of velocity, comparing actual with ideal exit velocity; and the coefficient of thrust, comparing actual with ideal thrust. Degree of reaction is a real quantity, but it belongs to turbine and compressor stage design, describing how the pressure drop is shared between rotor and stator.
