At a point in a circular duct with inner diameter of 0.200 m, the flow is fully developed and the air flow average velocity is 10.0 m/s with a mean temperature of 20.0° C. At a point exactly 5.00 m downstream, the mean temperature is 30.0° C. It is known that the wall temperature of the duct was held at a constant temperature between these two points. Find this wall temperature.

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...
