The pressure and shear stress distributions onthe upper and lower surfaces are given by pu = 4 × 104(x − 1)2 +5.4 × 104, pl = 2 × 104(x − 1)2 + 1.73 × 105, τu = 288x−0.2, andτl = 731x−0.2, respectively, where x is the distance from the leading edgein meters and p and τ are in newtons per square meter.

Calculate ( a ) the exit temperature, ( b )the mass flux, and ( c ) the exit diameter. Assume an adiabatic quasiequilibrium flowarrow_forwardAir flows through a constant cross-section conduit with Mack number Ma = 1 at 200 KPa pressure and 100°C temperature. State the necessary assumptions and calculate, (a) stagnation temperature (b) stagnation pressure, and (c) stagnation density.(d) With the specified inlet velocity a gas is flowing isentropically in the converging duct. At thethroat if we assume that the velocity is supersonic, how does the mass flow rate be affectedcompared to sonic velocity at the throat. How could supersonic velocity can be achieved in thiscase?arrow_forwardA Pitot tube inserted at the exit of a supersonic nozzle reads8.92 × 104 N/m2.

- In compressible flow, velocity measurements with a Pitot probe can be grossly in error if relations developed for incompressible flow are used. Therefore, it is essential that compressible flow relations be used when evaluating flow velocity from Pitot probe measurements. Consider supersonic flow of air through a channel. A probe inserted into the flow causes a shock wave to occur upstream of the probe, and it measures the stagnation pressure and temperature to be 620 kPa and 340 K, respectively. If the static pressure upstream is 110 kPa, determine the flow velocity.arrow_forwardThe converging-diverging flow domain is shown in Figure 1. The inlet diameter is 0.2 m, the throat diameter is 0.15 m, and the outlet diameter is 0.24 m. The axial distance from the inlet to the throat is 0.30 m—the same as the axial distance from the throat to the outlet. At the inlet section, the stagnation pressure P0 is set to 220 kPa (absolute), while the stagnation temperature T0, at the inlet is set to 300 K.arrow_forwardConsider air entering a heated duct at p1 = 1 atm and T1 = 288 K. Ignore the effect of friction. Calculate the amount of heat per unit mass (in joules per kilogram) necessary to choke the flow at the exit of the duct for an inlet Mach number of M1 = 2.2.arrow_forward
- When a pitot-static tube is placed in a supersonic flow, the probe reads P = 190 kPa and P = 150 kPa. If the stagnation temperature is 400 K, estimate the freestream Mach number and velocity.arrow_forwardAir flows into a converging duct, and a normal shock stands at the exit of the duct. Downstream of the shock, the Mach number is 0.54. If p2/p1 = 2, compute the Mach number at the entrance of the duct and the area ratio A1/A2.arrow_forwardAir flows at 180 m/sm/s through the pipe. The temperature is 400 KK and the absolute stagnation pressure is 280 kPakPa. Assume isentropic flow. For air R� = 286.9 J/[kg⋅K]J/[kg⋅K] and k� = 1.40 Determine the pressure within the flow.
