A converging-diverging nozzle is designed to operate with an
exit Mach number of 2. The nozzle is supplied from an air reservoir
at 600 kPa and temperature is 300 K. The throat area of the nozzle
is 5 cm2.
Determine:
(a) The ratio of exit-to-throat area and exit area.
(b) Given the area ratio in part (a), find the range of back
pressure over which the nozzle is choked. What is the critical
pressure and design pressure?
Also, calculate the mass flow rate when the nozzle is choked and at
design conditons.
(c) Determine the mass flow rate for a back pressure of 450 kPa and
500 kPa.
(d) Determine the mass flow rate for a back pressure of 0
kPa.
(e) Plot pressure variation along centerline of nozzle and mark all
the points (back pressures) on it.
(f) Use excel sheet to plot mass variation Vs back pressures and
mark all points on it.
As per guidelines, first 4 subparts are solved. Please repost the remaining question.
