  • Patent number: 11905978
    Abstract: A jet pump comprising a jet nozzle for accelerating a propellant. The jet nozzle has a convergent inlet part and an outlet part connected to the convergent inlet part. The outlet comprises an inner wall diverging at an opening angle. The opening angle is designed such that a propellant flowing through the outlet part at subsonic speed is detached from the inner wall and a propellant flowing through the outlet part at supersonic speed is guided by the inner wall. An automatic, cost-effective and simple changeover of the jet pump to different pressure ratios is hence provided.
