Steam pressure variation inside a nozzle — key dependencies Within a steam nozzle, identify the quantities that govern how static pressure changes along the flow passage. Choose the best option.

Concept/Approach

• Nozzle flow couples momentum and state: velocity rise drives static pressure drop (Bernoulli/energy balance).
• Steam's specific volume (compressibility) and dryness fraction (quality) affect density and hence acceleration and pressure–area relations.
