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. </dd>
