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.

1:07 GAS CH 4 HW 1.pptx > 1. Air is flowing isentropically through a converging duct which is fed from a large reservoir where the temperature and 250 kPa, pressure are 350 K and respectively. At a certain point along the duct, where the cross-sectional area is 0.005 m, the pressure is 150 kPa. Determine the Mach number, temperature and velocity at that point and also calculate the mass flow rate. (Ans: 330.1 K, 0.549, 162.8 kPa, 1.718 kg-s"). 2. Air is supplied to a converging nozzle from a large reservoir where the temperature and pressure are 400 K and 100 kPa, respectively. At a certain cross-section, the temperature and pressure are measured to be 383.8 K and 63 kPa, respectively. Assuming isentropic flow, find the Mach number at this cross- section and the mass flow rate per unit area. (Ans: 0.46, 103.3 kg-s'-m²). 3. A converging nozzle is fed with air from a large reservoir where the temperature and pressure are 400 K and 170 kPa, respectively. The nozzle has an exit…
A supersonic diffuser for air (y%3D1.4) has an arca ratio of 0.416 with an inlet Mach number of 2.4 (design value). Determine the exit Mach number and the design value of the pressure ratio across the diffuser for isentropic flow. At an off-design value of the inlet Mach number (2.7) a normal shock occurs inside the diffuser. Determine the upstream Mach number and area ratio at the section where the shock occurs and pressure ratio across the diffuser.
The flow inside the intake of a scramjet is found to be supersonic with Mach number of 2.5. From the instrumentations located inside the intake section, the static pressure and temperature were measured as 1 atm and 290 K, respectively. Inside the intake, the flow encounters the first compression ramp at an angle of 22º. As an intake engineer, investigatethe flow properties (Mach number, static pressure and temperature, stagnation pressure and temperature) after the resulting first oblique shock wave, so that the 2ndcompression ramp can be designed according to the requirements. Use the relevant tables and charts to assist your investigation. Commentif more shock waves are required to ensure that subsonic combustion is possible.
