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.

Air flows through a 0.25-m-diameter duct. At the inlet the velocity is 300 m/s, and the stagnation temperature is 90°C.

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.
