12-17. Helium enters a converging-diverging nozzle at
0.7 MPa, 800 K, and 100 m/s. What are the lowest temper-
ature and pressure that can be obtained at the throat of the
nozzle?
12-20. Air enters a converging-diverging nozzle at a pressure
of 1200 kPa with negligible velocity. What is the lowest pressure
that can be obtained at the throat of the nozzle? Answer: 634 kPa
12-25
aircraft is designed to cruise at Mach number
1.1 at 12,000 m where the atmospheric temperature
is 236.15 K. Determine the stagnation temperature on the
leading edge of the wing.
12-38 Air enters a converging-diverging nozzle at 1.2 MPa
le velocity. Approxim: s
pic, determine the back pressure that would result in an exit
Mach number of 1.8. Answer: 209 kPa
12-42 An ideal gas with k = 1.4 is flowing through a noz-
ale such that the Mach number is 1.8 where the flow area is
36 cm’, Approximating the flow as isentropic, determine the
flow area at the location where the Mach number is 0.9.
12-43 Repeat Prob. 12-45 for an ideal gas with k =
33.
12-45. Air enters a nozzle at 0.5 MPa, 420 K, and a velocity
of 110 m/s, Approximating the flow as isentropic, determine
the pressure and temperature of air at a location where the air
velocity equals the speed of sound. What is the ratio of the
area at this location to the entrance area? Answers: 355 K,
278 kPa, 0.428
