Hi Everyone!

With the advent of SpaceX Falcon Heavy Launch, please spread this video to your friends and anyone else interested!

Interested in rockets? Ever wondered how a rocket engine nozzle actually works, and why the flow looks the way it is, check out my latest video! I talk about:
1) Compressible Flow
2) Subsonic and Supersonic Nozzles
3) Rocket C-D Nozzles
4) Generation of thrust
5) Over Expanded and Under Expanded Nozzles

I hope you take away some new concepts in fluid mechanics after this video. It is catered towards mechanical and aerospace engineering students with an interest in fluids.

Thank you!
