Energy Conversion Efficiency
</dt>
The efficiency with which a nozzle converts
the energy of the working substance into kinetic
energy, expressed as the ratio of the kinetic energy of the jet leaving
the nozzle to the kinetic energy of a hypothetical ideal jet leaving an ideal
nozzle using the same working substance at the same initial state and under
the same conditions of velocity and expansion.
