Abstract
The aim of this paper is to develop a profile of axisymmetric minimum length nozzle giving a uniform and parallel flow at the exit section. The study is done at high temperature, lower than the dissociation threshold of the molecules. The design is made by the method of characteristics (MOC). The variation of the specific heats with the temperature is considered. The numerical results have been validated with CFD simulation Ansys-Fluent software. The second part of this study is to calculate and analyze the transonic flow field of this supersonic nozzle. The computation of the flow field characteristics at the throat is thus essential to the nozzle developed thrust value and therefore to the aircraft or rocket it propels. An investigation was conducted to analyze the effects of parameters on the position of the sonic line. These parameters include stagnation temperature T0, radius of the nozzle, types of gases, and exit Mach number ME.
