Summary

In this work the co-ordinates of three-dimensional nozzles of several types have been obtained as explicit functions, and some shapes have been plotted. It is hoped that some of these might be of use in cases where smooth uniform fluid flow is desired. The design of a particular nozzle shape in the presence of a plane boundary is given: previously any equations obtained have been too intractable to use.
