Gas Dynamics Using Isentropic

The document contains 11 problems related to gas dynamics and jet propulsion concepts including nozzles, diffusers, and aircraft flight conditions. The problems involve calculating velocities, temperatures, pressures, mass flow rates, and other variables using concepts like isentropic flow, stagnation conditions, and Mach number. The goal is to determine unknown parameters given inlet and outlet conditions for compressible flows through nozzles and diffusers.

1. A reservoir whose temperature can be varied in a wide range of


temperature receives air at a constant pressure of 150 kPa. The air is
expanded isentropically in a nozzle to an exit pressure of 101.5 kPa.
Determine (without using gas tables) the values of the temperature to be
maintained in the reservoir to produce the following velocities at the nozzle
exit (i) 100 m/s (ii) 250 m/s (ME 1303 GDJP AU Dec 2006)

2. A subsonic diffuser operating under isentropic conditions has inlet area of


0.15 m2. The inlet conditions are c= 240 m/s T = 300K P = 70 kPa. The
velocity leaving the diffuser is 120 m/s. Calculate for air (i) mass flow rate
(ii) stagnation pressure at exit (iii) stagnation temperature at exit (iv)
static pressure at the exit (v) change in entropy (vi) exit area
