Air is supplied to a convergent–divergent nozzle from a large tank in which the pressure and temperature are kept at 700 kPa and 40°C, respectively. If the nozzle has an exit area that is 1.6 times the throat area and if a normal shock occurs in the nozzle at a section where the area is 1.2 times the throat area, find the pressure, temperature, and Mach number at the nozzle exit. Assume one-dimensional, isentropic flow.

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 a spherical tank of air originally at atmospheric pressure (1.013*105 N/m2). Air is being supplied at a uniform velocity of 2 m/s through a tube of diameter 2 cm. The tanks diameter is 1m.

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.

In a supermarket, air at atmospheric pressure and 25 °C is supplied to an air handling unit through a rectangular duct with a cross section of 0.5 m x 0.1 m. The air handling unit will distribute 2/3 of the air to the large shopping area of the supermarket at 25 °C, and it will cool the remaining air to -5 °C and distribute it to a walk-in refrigerator. To avoid frictional pressure losses, the average air velocity in the...
