Abstract
In this investigation, analytical models were developed to predict the performance characteristics of axisymmetric single jet ejector. The ejector is divided into four parts, jet, mixer, nozzle, and diffuser. Basic flow equations were combined to calculate end to end flow characteristics for each of the four ejector components. Different jets and mixer combination were tested using three jet and three mixers. Characteristics curves have been drawn to predict flow characteristics of the ejector. Different configuration of jet and mixer incorporated different loss coefficient. Hence to get correct flow characteristics of the ejector right loss coefficient should be used.
