(3.b) A converging-diverging nozzle is designed to expand air from a chamber in which the pressure is 750 kN/m² and the temperature 35°C to give a Mach number of 2.9 at the exit plane. The throat area of the nozzle is 0.07 m². For air y=1.4 and R=287 Jkg-¹K-¹. Calculate: (i) (ii) (iii) (iv) The exit area of the nozzle. The mass flow rate through the nozzle when operating under design conditions. The design back pressure to operate with a Mach number of 2.9 at the exit plane. The back pressure below which there are no shock waves in the nozzle.
