2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. Write the energy equation for a flow & non-flow process. Define Crocco number. What is reference velocity & where can it be used? Define stagination temperature and pressure. Define mach number & mach angle. What is the difference between Bernoullis equation and Steady flow energy equation? Differentiate Zone of silence & Zone of action. Define Impulse Fuction. PART B ANSWER ANY TWO QUESTIONS 10. An air jet ( = 1.4, R = 287 J/kgK) at 400K has sonic velocity. Determine (i) velocity of sound at 400 K, (ii) velocity of sound at stagination conditions, (iii) maximum velocity of jet, (iv) stagination enthalpy, (v) Crocco number. 11. Derive the energy equation (a2 / - 1) + (c2 / 2) = Cmax2/2 = (ao2 / - 1) = ho stating the assumptions used. 12. A nozzle in a wind tunnel gives a test-section Mach number of 2.0. Air enters the nozzle from a large reservoir at 0.69 bar & 310K. The cross sectional area of the throat is 1000cm2. Determine the following quantities for the tunnel for one dimensional isentropic flow: (i) (ii) (iii) (iv) pressures, temperatures & velocity at the throat & test sections, area o f cross section of test section, mass flow rate, power required to drive the compressor.
