Use Excel’s Data Validation for dropdowns (e.g., fluid type) and Conditional Formatting to highlight missing inputs. ejector design calculation xls
Be honest: A spreadsheet cannot handle:
For 95% of industrial sizing (steam jets, air ejectors, single-phase gas), an XLS is sufficient for preliminary and even detailed design. | Parameter | Unit | Example Value |
Motive nozzle exit Mach (choked):
[
M_e = \sqrt\frac2\gamma-1\left[ \left(\fracP_mP_exit\right)^\frac\gamma-1\gamma -1 \right]
]
Excel: =SQRT((2/(gamma-1))*((P_m/P_exit)^((gamma-1)/gamma)-1)) For 95% of industrial sizing (steam jets, air
Area ratio from Mach:
[
\fracAA^* = \frac1M\left(\frac2\gamma+1\left(1+\frac\gamma-12M^2\right)\right)^\frac\gamma+12(\gamma-1)
]
Excel: = (1/M)*((2/(gamma+1))*(1+((gamma-1)/2)*M^2))^((gamma+1)/(2*(gamma-1)))
Entrainment ratio from momentum (constant-area mixing, no shock):
Implemented via iterative Goal Seek or explicit solve.
