Nozzle Design (C-D)
Converging-diverging nozzle
The existing nozzle view shows the choked throat, expansion to the exit, and pressure matching to ambient.
C-D nozzle expansion
A choked throat fixes mass flow, then the diverging section turns chamber pressure into exit velocity.
M exit 3.00
Pressure match
p_e/p_a 0.76
