14.12 Gas-Jet Noise 389power discharged from the nozzle, i.e.,whereP = ε M5 ρ 0 V 3 A2in watts (14.43)V = average flow velocity through the nozzle, m/sM = Mach number of the flow = V/c, dimensionlessρ 0 = density of ambient airA = nozzle areaε = constant of proportionality, in the order of 10 −4Equation (14.43) constitutes a first-order approximation that is applicable tomany industrial situations where the average velocity of the jetstream lies in therange of 0.15c < V ≤ c. The efficiency factor εM 5 is plotted from empirical datain Figure 14.12 over a range of Mach numbers. As a reflection of the uncertaintyassociated with turbulence, temperature, and so forth, the efficiency factor is givenas a range.Figure 14.12. Efficiency factor εM 5 versus Mach number.
