Air is supplied to a convergent–divergent nozzle from a reservoir where the pressure is 100 kPa. The air is then discharged through a short pipe into another reservoir where the pressure can be varied. The cross-sectional area of the pipe is twice the area of the throat of the nozzle. Friction and heat transfer may be neglected throughout the flow. If the discharge pipe has constant cross-sectional area, determine the range of static pressure in the pipe for which a...

Consider the steady, incompressible blood flow through the following vascular network: 100 µm diameter which is 80 mm in length to the first branching point, which can be estimated as a standard tee (flow through run), the branch off the tee turns 45 degrees and undergoes a constriction to 65 µm diameter and the flow through run continues for another 80 mm.

Air at 5 bar and 560K is expanded in steady flow in a horizontal convergent–divergent duct to an exit velocity of 640 ms−1. The walls of the duct are heated so as to keep the temperature drop to one-half the value of an isentropic expansion to the same velocity and pressure from the same initial conditions. Calculate, assuming negligible initial velocity: a. the heat supplied; b. the final temperature; c. the mass flow rate per square metre of exit area.
