In: Mechanical Engineering
A converging-diverging nozzle is designed to operate
with an exit Mach
number of 2. The nozzle is supplied from an air reservoir at 600
kPa and temperature
is 300 K. The throat area of the nozzle is 5 cm2
.
Determine:
(a) The ratio of exit-to-throat area and exit area
(b) Given the area ratio in part (a), find the range of back
pressure over which the
nozzle is choked. What is the critical pressure and design
pressure?
Also, calculate the mass flow rate when the nozzle is choked and at
design
conditons.
(c) Determine the mass flow rate for a back pressure of 450 kPa and
500 kPa.
(d) Determine the mass flow rate for a back pressure of 0
kPa.
(e) Plot pressure variation along centerline of nozzle and mark all
the points (back
pressures) on it.
(f) Use excel sheet to plot mass variation Vs back pressures and
mark all points
on it.
