Chapter 10, Problem 10.14P

For supersonic and hypersonic wind tunnels, a diffuser efficiency, η D , can be defined as the ratio of the total pressures at the diffuser exit and nozzle reservoir, divided by the total pressure ratio across a normal shock at the test-section Mach number. This is a measure of the efficiency of the diffuser relative to normal shock pressure recovery. Consider a supersonic wind tunnel designed for a test-section Mach number of 3.0 which exhausts directly to the atmosphere. The diffuser efficiency is 1.2. Calculate the minimum reservoir pressure necessary for running the tunnel.

An air duct heater consists of an aligned array of electrical heating elements in which the longitudinal and transverse pitches are SL = ST = 24 mm. There are 3 rows of elements in the flow direction (NL = 3) and 4 elements per row (NT = 4). Atmospheric air with an upstream velocity of 12 m/s and a temperature of 25°C moves in cross flow over the elements, which have a diameter of 12 mm, a length of 250 mm, and are maintained at a surface temperature of 350°C. (a) Determine the total rate of heat transfer to the air and the temperature of the air leaving the duct heater. (b) Determine the pressure drop across the element bank and the fan power requirement. (c) Compare the average convection coefficient obtained in your analysis with the value for an isolated (single) element. Explain the difference between the results. (d) What effect would increasing the longitudinal and transverse pitches to 30 mm have on the exit temperature of the air, the total heat rate, and the…
