Module 3 Questions

The document provides details for five different fluid mechanics problems involving compressible flow calculations. Problem 1 asks to calculate the Mach number, pressure, and temperature at the exit of a converging duct given the inlet conditions. Problem 2 asks to calculate the area, velocity, pressure, and temperature at the throat of the same duct. Problem 3 asks to calculate the mass flow rate through a converging-diverging nozzle for different exit pressures. Problem 6 asks to calculate the stagnation pressure for an aircraft flying at subsonic speed. Problem 7 asks to calculate the Mach number of an aircraft given the pitot tube pressure measurement.

1. Airstream flows in a converging duct from a cross-sectional area A1=50cm2 to a


cross-sectional area A2=40cm2. If T1=300K, P1=100kPa, and V1=100m/s, find M2, P2,
and T2. Assume Quasi-One-Dimensional Flow.

2. On the given parameters from problem 1, compute for the area, velocity,
pressure, and temperature at the throat.
3. Air is allowed to flow from a large reservoir through a C-D nozzle with an exit
area of 50x10-4m2. The reservoir is large enough so negligible changes in reservoir
pressure and temperature occur as fluid exhausted through the nozzle. Assume
isentropic, steady flow in the nozzle with PR=500kPa and TR=500K; assume also that
air behaves as a perfect gas with constant specific heat, k=1.4. Determine the mass
flow through the nozzle for an exit pressure of (a) 250kPa, (b) 375kPa, and (c) 500kPa.
6. A high-speed subsonic aircraft is flying with velocity of 170 m/s, at an altitude
where the pressure and temperature are 101300 Pa and 290 K, respectively. Calculate
the pressure at the stagnation point. Assume R = 287.08 J/kg.K and k = 1.4.

7. An aircraft is flying at an altitude with an ambient pressure of 101325 Pa. A pitot


tube mounted on the wing tip measures a pressure of 202650 Pa. Calculate the Mach
number at which the aircraft is flying. Assume k = 1.39.
