Thanks for the good info about machine tool collets.
I mentioned the machine collets only as an example of a 15 deg taper. I am specifically interested in the theories used choose taper angles such as those listed in the Machinery Handbook.

I am trying to find quantify the locational accuracy of two parts coming together, i.e. a wheel onto a shaft. A coupling with no taper (slip coupling) has concentric precision but no rotational precision. While two parts butted together, have no concentric locating but have rotational...
I believe the reasoning behind having high-pressure gas flow through the smaller pipe in the center is economic. Large diameter piping that can hold high-pressure is more expensive than piping with a lower pressure rating
