Problem 1 Air issues from a reservoir at conditions 260 kPa and 540K into a converging nozzle. The
nozzle efficiency is estimated to be N = 0:986. The back pressure is pb = 101.3kPa. Find (a) the exit
Mach number, (b) exit plane temperature, (c) exit plane pressure, and (d) exit velocity.
Answers: (a) 𝑀 0.9883, (b) 𝑇 451.75 K, (c) 𝑝 137.76 kPa, and (d) 𝑉 421.06 m/s
Problem 2 A normal shock wave occurs in air at a point where the velocity is 600 m/s and the
stagnation temperature and pressure are 200°C and 600 kPa, respectively. Find the Mach numbers,
pressures, and temperatures upstream and downstream of the shock wave.
Problem 3 The exhaust gases from a rocket engine have a molar mass of 14. They can be assumed to
behave as a perfect gas with a specific heat ratio of 1.25. These gases are accelerated through a
convergent-divergent nozzle. A normal shock wave occurs in the nozzle at a point in the flow where
the Mach number is 2, pressure is 40kPa and temperature is –20℃. Find the pressure, temperature,
density, and stagnation pressure downstream of this shock wave.
Problem 4 Consider a supersonic flow over a convex corner with angle 𝜃 10°, when the inflow
moves in the direction of 𝜃 0°. The upstream Mach number is M1 = 1.8, pressure is p1 = 130 kPa
and T1 = 310 K. After the first corner, the air flows over another convex corner, also 𝜃 10°. Find:
(a) Mach number, (b) temperature, (c) and pressure after the expansion is complete.
Problem 5 Consider the steam flow from a low-pressure nozzle at an angle 1 = 65°. At the inlet of
the nozzle steam is saturated vapor at pressure po = 18 kPa. Steam exhausts into the inter-blade
space, where pressure is 7 kPa. Find (a) the angle by which the flow turns on leaving the nozzle,
(b) the far downstream velocity, and (c) its direction.
