(b) We consider a differential volume between x and x+dx. The cross sectional areas are
respectively A(x) and A(x) + (dA/dx)dx. The nozzle wall area onto which the pressure
acts is dS so that the corresponding force x−component is dFx = p(x)dS ˆn · ˆx = p(x) dA,
where ˆn is the unit vector normal to dS and pointing into the wall.

Euler’s equation in differential form is
∂u
∂t + (u · ∇) u = −1
ρ∇p + g
We invoke the identity
u × (∇ × u) = 1
2∇ (u · u) − (u · ∇) u
Noting that ω = ∇ × u then
∂u
∂t − u × ω = −1
ρ∇p − ∇(gz) − 1

Next we take the curl of the above equation
∂ω
∂t − ∇ × u × ω = −∇ ×

We invoke another identity
∇ × u × ω = u(∇ · ω) + (ω · ∇)u − ω(∇ · u) − (u · ∇)ω
Noting that ∇ · ω = 0 and ∇ · u = − 1
