What does discharge mean?

Mass flow is always constant and m = area * velocity /specific volume.
Q = area * velocity.

Because discharge(Q) remain constant always through a pipe.

The discharge of steam in CD nozzle INCREASES after throat because pressure energy in convergent part is converted into kinetic energy in divergent part.

Ravi kishan said:   1 decade ago
Discharge in any pipe flow remains constant only the velocity decrease when area increases.

What is convergent and what is divergent?

Continuity equation self satisfies the statement as mass flow rate of any fluid remains constant throughout any cross section (here it is a nozzle).

P decrease then v increase, so according av = c.

v increase Q discharge increase.

P decrease then v increase, so according av = c.

v increase Q discharge increase. So in divergent portion of nozzle P remain constant.

So Q will be remain content.
