Air flows steadily through a converging-diverging nozzle with a throat area equal to 1.395 in2 , and an exit area equal to 2.79 in2 . A normal shock wave stands at the exit plane of the nozzle. The exiting jet flows into a large room, where the pressure is equal to 14.7 psia. The temperature of the air in the exit jet stream, just after the nozzle exit, is measured at 87 deg F. Calculate the mass flow rate through the nozzle. Calculate the pressure, temperature and velocity at a location in the nozzle where the flow area is equal to 5.58 in2 .
