A nozzle's job is squeezing a given flow through a fixed opening, and the resulting exit velocity affects flame shape, mixing, and noise. This calculator applies the continuity equation directly.
The Formula
V = Q / A
Worked Example
A nozzle passing 0.05 m³/s through a 500 mm² opening: V = 0.05 / 0.0005 = 100 m/s.
How to Use This Calculator
- Enter the volumetric flow rate through the nozzle.
- Enter the nozzle's cross-sectional area.
