Air flows in a pipe with a diameter, D=50 mm. The inlet conditions are: M1 = 3; total pressure,
P01 = 1000 kPa absolute; and temperature, T1 = 550 K. The friction coefficient is, f = 0.004. The exit Mach number decreases with the length of the pipe.

Plot the following while the exit Mach number to be changed from 2.5 to 0.99 with decrements of ?M=0.01:
a) L, length of the pipe that is going to give the desired exit Mach number,

b) the P2, pipe exit pressure,

c) T2, pipe exit temperature, and

d) P02, pipe exit total pressure.

Make sure that each plot has a title and that the axes of the plots are labeled. Assume that the flow is steady and adiabatic. Use ?=1.4 and Cp = 1004.5 J / ( kg . K ).

Expert Solution

For the fannow flow following relation can be used for length of the pipe -

where M1 is inlet mach no.,M2 is outlet mach no. ,f is friction coefficient ,L is length of pipe and D is the diameter of the pipe..here .

Expanding the equation it becomes-

substituting the values of the parameters we get L.

(b)To get exit pressure we can use following relationship -

(c) To get exit pressure we can use following relationship -

(d) .Total exit pressure can be found by -

Consider a pipe (diameter of 50 mm) with air flowing through it. The inlet conditions are: Mach 3; total pressure = 1000 kPa and 550 K. The friction coefficient (f) is 0.004. The exit Mach number decreases with the length of the pipe. Assume adiabatic, steady flow. Write a short Matlab code and plot the following, while the exit Mach number changes from 2.5 to 0.99 with increments of ?M=0.01. Find the length of the pipe that is going to...

Air flows down a pipe with a diameter of 0.15 m. At the inlet to the pipe, the Mach number is 0.1, the pressure is 70 kPa, and the temperature is 35°C. If the flow can be assumed to be adiabatic and if the mean friction factor is 0.005, determine the length of the pipe if the Mach number at the exit is 0.6. Also, find the pressure and temperature at the exit to the pipe.

) A 50 mm-diameter propeller was installed in a 150 mm-diameter water pipe and the propeller speed was measured for a range of water discharge in the pipe. The water had a density and dynamic viscosity of 1000 kg/m3 and 0.00112 Ns/m2 respectively. The measured results were as follows: Q (litres/s): 12 28 45 63 95 120 160 180 N (rps): 5 10 15 20 30 40 60 80 Plot the dependence of propeller coefficient against propeller Reynolds number. A...

Air flows into a commercial steel pipe of 5 cm ID at 70 m/s. The inlet pressure and temperature of the air are 1 MPa and 100?C, respectively. a) Determine the Mach number at a distance 60 m down the pipe if the flow is adiabatic. b) Calculate the temperature at the same point. How would you comment on the assumption of constant Re, hence constant f, along the pipe by considering the temperature variation?
