The exit section of a convergent-divergent nozzle is to be used for the test section of a supersonic wind tunnel. If the absolute pressure in the test section is to be 140 kPa, what pressure is required in the reservoir to produce a Mach number of 5 in the test section? For the air temperature to be −20°C in the test section, what temperature is required in the reservoir? What ratio of throat area to test section area is required to meet these conditions?

- Air 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_forwardThe velocity ratio (v1/v2) of an isentropic flow through a supersonic wind tunnel is 0.615. if the mach number at the tunnels entry section is 0.95 find the value of mach number at the exitarrow_forwardAt the point where the air enters the convergent nozzle, its static pressure is 150 kPa, its stopping temperature is 327 K, and its speed is 71 m/s.

- Air flowing steadily in a nozzle experiences a normal shock at a Mach number of Ma = 2.6. If the pressure and temperature of air are 58 kPa and 270 K, respectively, upstream of the shock, calculate the pressure, temperature, velocity, Mach number, and stagnation pressure downstream of the shock. Compare these results to those for helium undergoing a normal shock under the same conditions.arrow_forwardNitrogen at 700 kPa pressure and 300K temperature enters a convergent divergent nozzle at negligible speed and passes through a normal shock wave at the Mach number of 3.

Air having a reservoir pressure of 30 psia and density of 0.15 lb/ft is accelerated to a Mach number of 1.6. Find the static pressure, density, and temperature at this Mach number. 2. Consider the flow of air through a supersonic nozzle. The reservoir pressure and temperature are 5 atm and 500 K, respectively. If the Mach number at the nozzle exit is 3, calculate the exit pressure , temperature, and density. 4. A supersonic nozzle is a convergent-divergent duct , which is fed by a large reservoir at the inlet to the nozzle. In the reservoir of the nozzle, the pressure and temperature are 10atm and 550°R , respectively. At the nozzle exit, the pressure is 1 atm. Calculate the temperature and density of the flow at the exit. Assume the flow is isentropic and , of course, compressible. 3. The mass flow of air through a supersonic nozzle is 1.5 lbm/s.
