Air is flowing in a 1.5 m2 wind tunnel at 200 m/s at a pressure of 250kPa, and temperature of 20°C at the entrance. Calculate:
(i) Mach number
(ii) Total Temperature
(iii) Total Pressure
(iv) Mass flow rate of air.
i) Mach number- It is the ratio of local flow velocity to speed of sound in given number.
theredore, M(mach number)=v/c
M=200/340 ; c= velocity of sound (at 20 degrees)= 340m/s
M=0.588
#answers of question ii), iii) and iv) are given in following images:
