Gas Dynamics Lab

This document summarizes the results of an experiment measuring the mass flow rate of air and other gases through a choked nozzle. It provides tables showing the inlet pressure and temperature, outlet pressure, and calculated mass flow rates for air, butane, methane, hydrogen, and argon. The slope of the linear relationship between mass flow rate and inlet pressure is calculated. Notes explain that a nozzle rather than an orifice was used to allow discharge to atmosphere without sharp edges and to accommodate dirty fluids. The conclusion indicates that mass flow rate increases with inlet pressure and the results for different gases vary according to their properties when passing through the nozzle at sonic speed.

Notes :

We use nozzle not an orifice to :

The nozzle can discharge directly to atmosphere

Have no sharp edge

Can be used dirty and abrasive fluids.

In the experiment the fluid properties are constant and the nozzle geometry also constant ,

If the Mth changed from 0 to 1 then it’s unchocked condition

If the Mth constant then it’s chocked condition

Po&To changing according the working condition

Conclusion:

Mass flow rate increasing by the increase of Po ,the reading will be unstable in the case of under
expansion ,the surge drum dampens the fluctuations ,due to under expansion ,the results according to
the 5 gases are different due to the functions of each gas and the results can’t reach the zero axes
because we are in sonic speed .
