- Calculate the change in Temperature (T2) after a cooled Helium gas with velocity (v1) and speed of sound (va1)of 642.78 m/s and 360.51 m/s, respectively, passed through a normal shock wave. (Round-off using 2 decimal places and do not include the units in your answer)arrow_forwardConsider an airplane flying at a velocity of 250 m/s. Calculate its Mach number if it is flying at a standard altitude of (a) sea level, (b) 5 km, (c) 10 km.arrow_forwardEstimate the speed of sound of carbon monoxide at 200-kPa pressure and 300°C in m/s.arrow_forward
- In your own words, write a summary of the differences between incompressible flow, subsonic flow, and supersonic flow.arrow_forwardAn aeroplane is cruising at a speed of 750 kmph at an altitude, where the air temperature is 5°C. Calculate the flight Mach number at this speed.arrow_forwardA jet transport is flying at a standard altitude of 30,000 feet with a velocity of 550 miles per hour. What is the Mach number?arrow_forward
- On October 3, 1967, pilot William J. "Pete" Knight set a world record that still stands to this day for the fastest flight by a crewed, powered aircraft by flying the North American Aviation X-15 as fast as Mach 6.7 at an altitude of 102,000 ft above sea level. Mach number is the ratio of an object’s velocity to the local speed of sound. Using the table for atmospheric properties with respect to altitude, calculate the speed of sound at an altitude of 100,000 ft. What must have been the velocity of the X-15?arrow_forwardAt 300°C and 1 atm, estimate the speed of sound of(a) nitrogen, (b) hydrogen, (c) helium, (d ) steam, and(e) 238UF6 (k≈ 1.06).arrow_forwardThe sound power level of a certain jet plane flying at a height of 1,5 km is 110dB. Find the maximum sound pressure level on the ground directly below the flight path assuming that the aircraft radiates sound equally in all directions.arrow_forward
- What is the Mach Number of an air with a velocity of 250 m/s, at a temperature at 2800 meters?arrow_forwardDescribe physically what the “speed of sound” represents.What kind of pressure changes occur in air sound wavesduring ordinary conversation?arrow_forwardAn airplane is flying at a standard altitude of 10,000 ft. A Pitot tube mounted at the nose measures a pressure of 2220 lb/ft2. The airplane is flying at a high subsonic speed, faster than 300 mph. The flow should be considered compressible.
