A compressible flow supersonic nozzle using Nitrogen is experimentally tested. A
shadowgraph visualization system is setup. Specific impulse calculations are performed
from theoretical and experimental data. Compressible flow equations are reviewed.

Includes shadowgraph photos of Prandtl-Meyer fans aft of a nozzle.
