Static pressure at the exit in convergent-divergent nozzle Calculator

Convergent-divergent nozzle, the term “static pressure at the exit,” denoted as pe, refers to the pressure of the fluid at the exit section of the nozzle. A convergent-divergent nozzle is a type of nozzle used in supersonic and hypersonic flows to accelerate a fluid (often a gas) to high velocities. In this type of nozzle, the nozzle geometry starts with a convergent section that narrows down the flow and then expands into a divergent section. This design allows for efficient acceleration and expansion of the fluid, particularly in supersonic flows. 

NOTE: Assuming that pe is minutely reduced below p0. This small pressure difference will produce a very low-speed subsonic flow inside the nozzle—essentially a gentle wind.
