  The Hindu : Gustav de Laval: Pioneer in developing dairy industry

GUSTAV DE Laval studied at the Stockholm Technical Institute and graduated from the Uppsala University.
De Laval's greatest achievement lay in the development of the steam turbine required for his machine.

 de Laval, Gustav (1845-1913)
The critical component – the one in which heat energy of the hot high-pressure steam from the boiler was converted into kinetic energy – was the nozzle from which the jet blew onto the wheel.
de Laval found that the most efficient conversion occurred when the nozzle first narrowed, increasing the speed of the jet to the speed of sound, and then expanded again.
But for rockets the de Laval nozzle was just what was needed.

Carl Gustav Patrik de Laval (1845-1913) was an engineer from a French family that had settled in Sweden.
De Laval was a prolific inventor who had ideas in almost every field of engineering, but he is best known for his work in milk production and the separation of cream from milk.
Gustav de Laval’s most important invention was the first continuous milk separator, in 1878.

The critical component, the one in which heat energy of the hot high-pressure steam from the boiler was converted into kinetic energy, was the nozzle from which the jet blew onto the wheel.
Using a De Laval nozzle, he obtained jet velocities between 7000 and 8000 ft/sec and efficiencies of up to 63%.
De Laval's nozzle turned spaceflight from a vague dream into a real possibility.

The solution to this engineering problem came long before the Apollo program from a Swedish entrepreneur by the name of Gustav de Laval, who developed 92 Swedish patents and founded 37 companies before his death in 1913.
One of his inventions was the Laval nozzle, which focuses the expanding gas leaving a rocket engine and accelerates it beyond the speed of sound.
In the event that something did go wrong on the launch pad, igniting all the fuel at once and causing the rocket to explode, astronauts were supposed to climb out of their space capsule and dive down a sort of laundry chute coated in Teflon.

 Robert Goddard and His Rockets
Later he replaced the ballistic pendulum with a more compact device, in which the thrust of the rockets did not lift a pendulum against gravity but compressed a calibrated spring.
On the history of the De Laval Nozzle
The ballistic pendulum was apparently invented by a Benjamin Thompson, better known as Count Rumford, whose career started as a schoolteacher in Concord, New Hampshire; his life was studied by MIT physics professor Sanborn Brown.
