Solution

The correct answer is "Specific thrust is maximised at a particular, finite area ratio".

Here's the step by step explanation:

  1. For an adiabatic and reversible, converging-diverging nozzle, the specific thrust (thrust per unit mass flow rate) is not always increasing with increasing area ratio. Instead, it reaches a maximum at a certain area ratio and then decreases.

  2. A purely-converging nozzle will not produce the same thrust as a converging

Which of the following is true about a nozzle?1 pointNozzles are not adiabatic. The area at the exit is greater than the area at the entrance of a nozzle. The velocity of the fluid at the entrance is larger than the velocity of the fluid at the exit of a nozzle. There is a change in pressure from the inlet to the outlet of the nozzle.
