Supersonic Jet

There is undeniably a certain fascination about supersonic speed. And achieving it has always been a particular challenge for fluid mechanics experts. In addition to the common examples in ballistics, aerospace and astronomy, some supersonic objects and applications are quite unexpected. The photo shows the test set-up for optimizing a supersonic jet as used in a recycling system. Optimizing the jet substantially improves the system's efficiency, which translates into a significant competitive advantage for the manufacturer.
