Extract

The concept of small stage efficiency is introduced when studying one-dimensional gas flow in nozzles in order to permit a closer approximation of real flow conditions than is possible from an isentropic analysis. It is more or less conventional to assume the flow conditions are adiabatic whenever the small stage efficiency is used. That is to say, small stage efficiency is generally considered in relation to flows contained within adiabatic boundaries, in which case it becomes a measure of the heat generated by internal frictional effects alone.
