Propelling nozzle design
Does anyone know of a book, or fully worked example, for designing a propelling nozzle for a turbojet? Google is not proving helpful.
I have borrowed a few books on gas turbine design but they seem exclusively concerned with the design of the gas generator not the nozzle!
This is for practical application on my Rolls Royce Nimbus thrust conversion. Although I've been given some dimensions I want to run the design myself to ensure it's correct!
Edit: Or, if I'm asking the wrong questions can anyone give me any pointers at all on design? Even some keywords would be very helpful, I'm aware of things like nozzle choking but I'm struggling to understand what it actually means when the nozzle pressure ratio causes this critical point to be reached, as an example.
