Air flows through a constant area duct. The pressure and temperature of the air at the inlet to the duct are P1 = 100 kPa absolute, and T1 = 298 K, respectively. Inlet Mach number is M1 = 0.1. Heat is transferred to the air as it flows through the duct and as a result the Mach number at the exit increases.

Write a Matlab code and plot the following:

a) Find the pressure and temperature at the exit, while the exit Mach number changes between M=0.2 to 0.99 with

increments of ?M=0.01.

b) Find the amount of heat that is transferred to the air per unit mass of air.
