Consider subsonic Fanno flow of air with an inlet Mach number of 0.70. If the Mach number increases to 0.90 at the duct exit as a result of friction, will the (a) stagnation temperature T0, (b) stagnation pressure P0, and (c) entropy s of the fluid increase, decrease, or remain constant during this process?
Consider supersonic Fanno flow that is decelerated to sonic velocity (Ma = 1) at the duct exit as a result of frictional effects. If the duct length is increased further, will the flow at the duct exit be supersonic, subsonic, or remain sonic? Will the mass flow rate of the fluid increase, decrease, or remain constant as a result of increasing the duct length?
3. Air enters a converging-diverging nozzle at 1.50 MPa and 900 K with a negligible velocity. The flow is
steady, one-dimensional, and isentropic with k =1.4. For an exit Mach number of Ma = 2.4 and a throat area
of 15 cm2, determine (a) the T, P and p in the throat, (b) the T, P and p in the exit plane, including the exit
area, and (c) the mass flow rate through the nozzle

- How does the Mach number affect the behavior of compressible flow in a supersonic nozzle?arrow_forwardStarting with the differential form of the energy equation, show that the flow velocity increases with heat addition in subsonic Rayleigh flow, but decreases in supersonic Rayleigh flow.arrow_forwardA steady one-dimensional isentropic flow in variable area passages is called “variable area flow”. In this case, the heat transfer is negligible and there is no other irreversibility due to fluid friction. The following relation is for steady one-dimensional isentropic compressible flow through a duct;where A is the cross-sectional area of the duct, V is the fluid velocity, and Ma is the Mach number. With relevant sketching, analyze its implication in the design of converging nozzles and diffusers if Ma is greater than 1.arrow_forward
