Calculates the final discharge velocity and pressure, ensuring the diffuser is capable of handling the mixture. Output Review: Review the calculated motive flow rate ( ṁmm dot sub m
Calculations for the relationship between the nozzle and ejector throat to ensure the design meets suction requirements. Solver/Iteration: Tools like Excel Solver Expansion Ratios: How the nozzle geometry affects velocity
A traditional fixed ejector consists of four primary sections: the primary nozzle, suction chamber, mixing chamber, and diffuser. In a "fixed" design, the throat areas and section lengths are set during manufacturing, meaning the ejector's performance is strictly a function of its boundary conditions (inlet pressures and temperatures). Key Design Parameters
In this mode, the user inputs the performance requirements as Fixed Inputs : and diffuser. In a "fixed" design
Input parameters are critical for accurate output. The Excel sheet should include: Pressure ( Ppcap P sub p ), Temperature ( Tpcap T sub p ), Molecular Weight ( MWpcap M cap W sub p ), Specific Heat Ratio ( γpgamma sub p Suction Fluid Properties: Pressure ( Pscap P sub s ), Temperature ( Tscap T sub s ), Molecular Weight ( MWscap M cap W sub s ), Specific Heat Ratio ( γsgamma sub s Discharge Pressure ( Pccap P sub c ): The required discharge pressure.
