flow and suction flow pass together - as a mixture - through the diffuser, loosing velocity and
gaining pressure. The increase from suction
pressure ps to discharge pressure pd corresponds to the delivery head for the suction flow
or to the pressure difference of the jet ejector.
The ratio pd / ps is the compression ratio of a jet
ejector.
ln a jet ejector the static pressure energy of the
motive flow which cannot be directly transferred
is thus converted into kinetic energy. This kinetic energy can be released to the suction flow
by impulse transfer while both flows mingle.
The diffuser converts the kinetic energy of the
mixture consisting of motive flow and suction
flow back into static pressure energy.
ln the steam jet vacuum ejector illustrated
below, the critical pressure ratio is exceeded
in the motive nozzle (2) (this can be recognized
by the expansion of the nozzle cross-section
downstream the minimum throat diameter.)
The steam velocity exceeds the sonic velocity
accordingly. Motive flow and suction flow are
mixed at supersonic velocity and then decelerated to the sonic velocity upon reaching the
diffuser throat. ln the diverging section of the
diffuser, the pressure finally increases to the
discharge pressure pd.

Example:
A liquid jet solids ejector using water as
motive fluid to convey gravel can be
designated as water jet gravel ejector.
