Problem 13.201: Given: Find: Solution

Given an air flow in a duct with Mach number M1=2.5, the problem finds the Mach number and pressure at the contraction and downstream. There are two oblique shocks, with shock angles of 7.99 degrees. At the contraction, M2=2.17 and p2=82.8 kPa. Downstream, M3=1.87 and p3=130 kPa.

Problem 13.

201 [Difficulty: 3]

Given: Air flow in a duct

Find: Mach number and pressure at contraction and downstream;

Solution:

The given or available data is: k = 1.4


M1 = 2.5
= 30 o

p1 = 50 kPa

Equations and Computations:

For the first oblique shock (1 to 2) we find  from Eq. 13.49

(13.49)

Using built-in function theta (M, ,k )

= 7.99 o

Also, M 1n can be found from geometry (Eq. 13.47a)

M 1n = 1.250

Then M 2n can be found from Eq. 13.48a)


Using built-in function NormM2fromM (M,k )

(13.48a)

M 2n = 0.813

Then, from M 2n and geometry (Eq. 13.47b)

M2 = 2.17
From M 1n and Eq. 13.48d (using built-in function NormpfromM (M ,k ))

(13.48d)

p 2/p 1 = 1.66 Pressure ratio


p2 = 82.8

We repeat the analysis for states 1 to 2 for 2 to 3, for the second oblique shock

We choose  for M 2 by iterating or by using Goal Seek to target  (below) to equal


the previous , using built-in function theta (M, ,k )

= 7.99 o

= 34.3 o

Then M 2n (normal to second shock!) can be found from geometry (Eq. 13.47a)

M 2n = 1.22

Then M 3n can be found from Eq. 13.48a)


Using built-in function NormM2fromM (M,k )

M 3n = 0.829

Then, from M 3n and geometry (Eq. 13.47b)

M3 = 1.87

From M 2n and Eq. 13.48d (using built-in function NormpfromM (M ,k ))

p 3/p 2 = 1.58 Pressure ratio


p3 = 130
