Claim 13:
14. A nozzle assembly, comprising:
a nozzle body defining an inlet, an outlet, and a nozzle body passage extending between the inlet and the outlet;
a first flow straightener coupled to the nozzle body and extending at least partially across the nozzle body passage, the first flow straightener defining:
a first passage fluidly coupling the inlet and the outlet, the first passage defining a first passage inlet and a first passage outlet; and
a second passage each fluidly coupling the inlet and the outlet, the second passage defining a second passage inlet and a second passage outlet; and

a second flow straightener coupled to the nozzle body and extending at least partially across the nozzle body passage, the second flow straightener defining a third passage and a fourth passage each fluidly coupling the inlet and the outlet,
wherein at least one of (a) a cross-sectional area of the second passage inlet is less than a cross-sectional area of the first passage inlet and (b) a cross-sectional area of the second passage outlet is less than a cross-sectional area of the first passage outlet;
wherein the first passage is tapered such that a cross-sectional area of the first passage decreases as the first passage extends towards the outlet, and wherein the second flow straightener is positioned between the first flow straightener and the outlet of the nozzle body;
wherein the first passage of the first flow straightener is aligned with the third passage of the second flow straightener, and wherein the second passage of the first flow straightener is aligned with a face of the second flow straightener; and
wherein a cross-sectional area of the second passage is substantially constant from the second passage inlet to the second passage outlet.
