Though geometrically different from an orifice plate, a flow nozzle is conceptually similar to it. Fig.3.26 shows a flow nozzle which is just a converging nozzle placed in a pipe. The flow mechanism is similar to that for the orifice (see Flow through a Sharp-edged Orifice). Now the area A2 is the throat area of the nozzle.
