1. To derive the effect of Mach number on compressibility for
Compressible flow.
2. The pressure, temperature and fluid velocity of air at the entry of a
flow passage are 3 bar, 280 K and 140 m/s. The pressure,
temperature and velocity at the exit of a flow passage are 2 bar, 260
K and 250 m/s. The area of cross section at entry is 600 cm 2.
Determine for adiabatic flow,
a) Stagnation temperature
b) Maximum velocity
c) Mass flow rate
d) Area of cross section at exit.
Take ¥ = 1.4, R = 287 J/kg K.
3. Air (¥ = 1.4, R = 287 J/kg K) enters a straight axis symmetric duct at
300 K, 3.45 bar and 150 m/s and leaves it at 277 K, 2.058 bar and
260 m/s. The area of cross section at entry is 500 cm 2. Assuming
adiabatic flow determine
a) Stagnation temperature
b) Maximum velocity
c) Mass flow rate
d) Area of cross section at exit.
4. To derive the mass flow rate in terms of pressure ratio.
5. The pressure, temperature and Mach number at the entry of nozzle
are 2 bar, 300 K and 1.4 respectively. The exit Mach number is 2.4.
