Vena Contracta Effect
q Flow passage through the
contraction is accompanied by
distortion of the trajectories of
particles with the result that
they continue their motion
by inertia toward the axis of
the opening.
q This reduces the initial area of C-C
Plane of
the jet cross section at C-C Vena Contracta
until the area is smaller than the
area of the cross section of the
opening. Plane of vena
contracta.
q Starting mid-section CC, the trajectory of moving particles are
straightened.
q Thereafter an abrupt jet expansion takes place.

Flow Resistance of
Converging Rectilinear Nozzle
q At sufficiently large angles (alpha > 10o) and area ratios less than
0.3, the flow after passing from the contracting section of the
rectilinear converging nozzle to the straight part of the tube
separates from the walls which is the main source of the flow
losses.
The larger the alpha and smaller the area ratio, stronger is the flow
separation and greater the pressure losses
Pressure losses are at maximum for the limiting case of 180 degree
angle sudden contraction.
q When fluid flow leaves the piping system, the kinetic energy of the
discharged jet is always lost.
q In the case of free discharge of the flow
from a straight section of the tube of pvelocity
