Example(2-1)
Air enters a converging duct with varying flow area at T1=400 K, P1=100 kPa, and
M1=0.3.Assuming steady isentropic flow, determine T2, P2, and M2 at a location where the flow
area has been reduced by 20 percent.
Solution
Example(2-2)
Air enters a converging–diverging nozzle, shown in the Figure, at 1.0 MPa and 800 K with a
negligible velocity. For an exit Mach number of M2=2 and a throat area of 20 cm, determine (a)
the throat conditions, (b) the exit plane conditions, including the exit area, and (c) the mass flow
rate through the nozzle.
