re: #279 ron paul

at what point in a convergent divergent nozzle does the working fluid become supersonic, then what happens?

Teh flux capacitor implodes and you are stranded in 1955!

heh. No, provided the working fluid has sufficient mass flow and pressure it becomes supersonic just past the choke and flow velocity continues to increase through the rest of the de Laval nozzle.

Note, however, that I am not an engineer, nor am I a rocket or steam scientist (the two fields in which de Lavals are most commonly seen). I am an information specialist, skilled at finding the answers to obscure questions. Citing trivia online does not prove skill.

Ron Paul, your claim of not wanting to give your business to prevent attack is specious. Note how I just listed my field without giving sufficient specifics for you to identify me (though I make no secret who I am, and can be found on my webpage via my name-link.) Your dancing actually makes me less willing to give you slack, reminding me of nothing less than the people who claim military service and awards but “you can’t see the actual records because they’re classified.” You can’t or won’t even say you’re an engineer of some sort.

I’m not asking the state. I’m not asking your qualifications. I’m just going to ask what NAICS, SIC, or IRS Business Activity Code your business uses.
