  1. Identifying Converging and Diverging Lenses: Explaining with Principal ...

    Feb 1, 2005 · To determine whether a lens is converging or diverging, analyze the behavior of the principal rays after they pass through the lens. A convex lens will cause rays to converge at a point …

  2. Is there a pressure ratio limit for choked flow through a c-d nozzle ...

    Jun 21, 2024 · The discussion revolves around the conditions for achieving choked flow through a converging-diverging (c-d) nozzle, specifically examining the effects of diameter and angle of the …

  3. Head Loss and Pressure Rise During Gradual Expansion

    Apr 9, 2016 · Participants express varying levels of understanding and confusion regarding the application of velocities in head loss calculations, the definition of diverging sections, and the …

  4. Supersonic Flow in Diverging Nozzle - Physics Forums

    Nov 13, 2011 · The discussion revolves around the behavior of supersonic flow in a diverging nozzle, specifically addressing why a fluid's velocity increases when the cross-sectional area expands at …

  5. How to determine when compressible flow is choked?

    Jun 9, 2024 · Others argue that adding a diverging section after the throat allows for a lower upstream to downstream pressure ratio while still achieving choked flow, which seems counterintuitive. It is …

  6. Why Do Diverging Lenses Always Produce Shrunken Images?

    Apr 24, 2010 · Diverging lenses consistently produce shrunken and inverted images regardless of the object's position relative to the lens. This phenomenon occurs due to the geometric properties of light …

  7. What is the magnification problem with two lenses?

    Oct 25, 2006 · The problem involves two lenses positioned 38 cm apart, where one lens is diverging with a focal length of -7 cm and the other is converging with a focal length of 16 cm. Participants are …

  8. Combinination of two lenses, converging and diverging

    Mar 17, 2007 · The discussion focuses on solving a problem involving a converging lens with a focal length of 15 cm and a diverging lens with an unknown focal length, separated by 30 cm. An object is …

  9. Why Does Flow Become Supersonic in the Diverging Section of a Nozzle?

    Sep 6, 2007 · i just started reading about nozzles and turbines in my semester course. i went through converging diverging nozzles. for achieving a supersonic flow, a converging diverging nozzle is used. …

  10. Focal Length - please check my work and tell me what's wrong.

    Apr 8, 2010 · A converging lens with a focal length of 11.4 cm is 30.0cm to the right of the diverging lens. The two-lens system forms a real inverted image 17.0 cm to the right of the converging lens.
