The nozzle is a mechanical device that uses pressure energy and fluid enthalpy to increase the outflow velocity and control fluid flow direction. To obtain the nozzle duct’s shock pattern, the flow inside the nozzle must be supersonic with a Mach number greater than one. Experimentally, the shock pattern is obtained for a nozzle with a Mach numbe
