Abstract
This paper extends the work of others to provide a means to design a primary nozzle with variable throat diameter and variable nozzle exit diameter. The algorithm is extended to account for the behaviour of the solar collector and vapour generator. In this way, the nozzle diameters are determined as a function of the operating conditions ambient temperature and solar radiation. This correlation provides the basis for a practical nozzle control system.
