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

v increase Q discharge increase.

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

What is convergent and what is divergent?

Discharge in any pipe flow remains constant only the velocity decrease when area increases.

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

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