Mixing and Entrainment Characteristics of Circular and Noncircular Confined Jets

The present work deals with the experimental investigation of entrainment characteristics of confined/semiconfined circular and noncircular jets. The jet fluid, after issuing out of a nozzle of circular or noncircular cross section, enters a circular mixing tube of larger area, and during this process it entrains some ambient fluid into the mixing tube. The flow is incompressible and isothermal at a jet Reynolds number of 7200
