ASSIGNMENT No – I Submission Date: 18-02-14

1. The pressure, velocity and temperature of isentropic flow of air at the entry of a nozzle are 2 bar,
150 m/s & 330 K and the exit pressure is 1.5 bar. Determine,

i. The shape of the nozzle

ii. The Mach number at the entry & exit of the nozzle

iii. Mass flow rate through the nozzle.

Take γ=1.4 and Cp= 1 kJ/kg K

2. The pressure, temperature and Mach number at the entry of a flow passage are 2.45 bar, 26.5 °C
& 1.4 respectively. If the exit Mach number is 2.5, determine for adiabatic flow of a perfect gas
(γ=1.3, R=0.469 kJ/kg K)

i. Stagnation temperature

ii. Temperature and velocity of gas at exit

iii. The flow rate per square meter of the inlet cross section.

3. A supersonic nozzle expands air from P0=25 bar & T0=1050 K to an exit pressure of 4.35 bar; the
exit area of the nozzle is 100 cm2. Determine,

i. Throat area ii. Pressure & temperature at the throat iii. Temperature at exit

iv. Exit velocity as fraction of the maximum attainable velocity. v. Mass flow rate.

4. A supersonic wind tunnel is designed for M=3.0 at the test section. If the air supply in the
reservoir is at 4 bar & 26 °C, determine i) The mass flow rate ii) The area of test section iii) the
temperature and density at throat & test section. The throat area is 0.09 m2, γ=1.4

5. Air is drawn isentropicaly from a standard atmosphere at sea level (101.3 kPa & 15 °C) through a
C-D nozzle. The static pressures at different locations are 80 kPa and 40 kPa respectively.
Determine, the Mach number at each of these locations. Also determine the velocity at each of these
locations.

6. Draw the T-S and h-S diagrams for nozzle and diffuser flows.
