10. Derive the energy equation (a2 / - 1) + (c2 / 2) = Cmax2/2 = (ao2 / - 1) = ho stating the assumptions used. 11. 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. 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.
