## Overview

This is a small MATLAB nozzle-design utility. Its documented main workflow takes the specific-heat ratio and nozzle exit-to-throat ratio, then solves for isentropic nozzle geometry using the method of characteristics. The README also describes a simpler code version for examining stagnation-pressure and temperature variation; the file tree suggests the second script may serve that role, but no source excerpts are available to confirm its behavior or how the scripts are wired.

Main entry points: [`Nozzle_design_AESIR-1.m`](https://github.com/gbarivazhagan/nozzle_design/blob/master/Nozzle_design_AESIR-1.m) (MOC nozzle design)
