Considering metastable expansion to be in effect, the flow of wet steam though a convergent-divergent nozzle shall result in a discharge slightly less than the calculated one.

The flow of wet steam through a convergent-divergent nozzle results in a discharge slightly greater than the calculated one. Converging part is small and steam velocity being high, eludes the possibility of normal condensation. This rapid expansion produces supersaturated state. Steam is undercooled to a temperature less than the saturation temperature corresponding to its pressure. This results in increase in density and hence increases in discharge.
