A gas, assumed ideal, flows isentropically from point 1,where the velocity is negligible, the pressure is 200 kPa,and the temperature is 300°C, to point 2, where the pressureis 40 kPa. What is the Mach number Ma2 if the gas is(a) air, (b) argon, or (c) CH4? (d ) Can you tell, withoutcalculating, which gas will be the coldest at point 2?
Air, assumed to be a perfect gas from Table A.4, fl owsthrough a long, 2-cm-diameter insulated tube. At section 1,the pressure is 1.1 MPa and the temperature is 345 K. Atsection 2, 67 meters further downstream, the density is1.34 kg/m 3 , the temperature 298 K, and the Mach numberis 0.90. For one-dimensional fl ow, calculate ( a ) the massfl ow; ( b ) p 2 ; (c) V 2 ; and ( d ) the change in entropy between1 and 2. ( e ) How do you explain the entropy change?
Air flows at high speed through a Herschel venturi monitored by a mercury manometer, as shown in Fig. The upstream conditions are 150 kPa and 80°C. If h = 37 cm, estimate the mass flow in kg/s.
