For incompressible flow, the acoustic wave propagates with an infinite velocity,
i.e., adjustments to the flow are made instantaneously.
For compressible flow, small velocity changes propagate because the fluid density
varies, i.e., elastic waves having finite celerity (rapid motion).

Figure (b) shows that the piston is moved to the right, causing a pressure
disturbance to propagate downstream with a velocity c. Note the stationary
observer off to the right
Figure (c) changes the reference for the observer. This is done to permit a steady
state analysis such that the wave is the control volume. Thus, from this vantage-
point, the fluid appears to move from right to left, toward the “stationary wave”.

• Stagnation Properties
Analyze nozzles and diffusers. These devices can be assumed isentropic
(negligible heat transfer, high efficiencies of 95%)
Stagnation condition: the state that a moving fluid would achieve if the fluid were
decelerated to zero velocity, isentropically.
Derive a relationship to relate the stagnation condition to a state where the fluid is
moving. Consider the deceleration of a fluid through a diffuser. Neglecting heat
transfer, potential energy effects, and assuming the flow process is reversible:
m& i = m& e Vi Ve ≈ 0

so = s
p (properties decrease when
T fluid moves)
Thus, the stagnation condition is the maximum condition that a fluid can attain at a
particular state when the fluid is at rest. Thus, once the fluid moves significantly,
the enthalpy (and temperature) decreases: h = ho − V 2 2 .
6
For a more general formulation of stagnation conditions, consider the flow through
a nozzle where the flow is not necessarily isentropic. Assume the flow is at steady
state, adiabatic, no work transfer and potential energy is negligible. However,
irreversibilities may exist.
V12
The inlet stagnation enthalpy is ho1 = h1 + with a corresponding To1 po1 and ρo1.
2
V22
Likewise for the exit, the stagnation enthalpy is ho 2 = ho 2 + with To2 po2 and ρo2
2
Therefore, ho1 = ho 2 and the stagnation enthalpy is constant throughout the flow
regardless of the process.
For the problems that we will consider, the fluid will be an ideal gas. Thus, the
enthalpies are a function of temperature only. Also, bear in mind that the
stagnation condition refers to decelerating a flow isentropically. Thus, for ideal
gases, the stagnation conditions can be related to the actual conditions by:

• Note that for a subsonic nozzle, the maximum velocity condition that can be
reached at the exit is when M =1. In order to increase the fluid velocity further,
the nozzle shape must change. Thus, to accelerate a fluid subsonically, use a
converging nozzle. Once M =1, need a diverging nozzle.

• Converging and diverging nozzles (supplemental handout; in-class discussion)
Analyze how the back pressure (pressure in the exhaust region outside of the
nozzle) affects the flow upstream.
½ Converging nozzles:
As the back pressure is reduced lower than the stagnation pressure, the mass
flow rate increases and the flow moves subsonically through the nozzle.
Note that the changes in the back pressure can be transmitted upstream
because the flow is subsonic (V<c). Thus, the exit pressure equals the back
pressure, pE = pB.
The back pressure can be reduced further until a critical point is obtained
where the mass flow rate is at a maximum (for the given stagnation
conditions). This critical condition is referred to as choked flow, and the
Mach no. is unity (M = 1) at the exit. Hence the nozzle exit pressure is at a
minimum, p*.
Further reducing the pressure has no effect on the flow upstream. Thus, the
exit pressure equal the critical pressure, i.e., pE = p*.
½ Converging-diverging nozzles:
As the back pressure is reduced, the mass flow rate increases before the
throat (nozzle, M < 1) and after the throat the flow is still subsonic (diffuser,
M < 1). Note that the exit and back pressures are equal, pE = pB.
Once the back pressure is reduced such that the flow chokes at the throat, the
mass flow rate is a maximum and M = 1. After the throat, the flow remains
subsonic in the diverging section (subsonic diffuser). Note that the lowest
pressure is at the throat where pt = p*. At the exit, pE = pB.
Further reducing the back pressure alters the flow in the diverging section;
the flow expands (p decreases) and becomes supersonic (supersonic nozzle).
Note that the flow is unstable and a normal shock can form. The shock
causes the pressure to increase and the velocity to decrease; hence the flow
is subsonic in the diverging section (subsonic diffuser).
Reducing the back pressure further eventually causes shocks to form either
within the nozzle (normal shocks) or outside of the nozzle (oblique shocks).
10
• Flow across a normal shock
shock is a rapid and irreversible condition (discontinuity); thus the flow
through a shock is nonisentropic
consider a control volume around the shock; note that the shock is of
infinitesimal thickness (10-5 cm)
(neglect heat transfer, work transfer, potential energy and wall forces)

• Fanno and Rayleigh lines:

Rayleigh line: combination of conservation of mass and momentum when
plotted on a h−s diagram
Note:
1. The position where the lines cross mark the state before the shock (M >1)
and after the shock (M <1), thus identifying the process.
2. The maximum entropy for each curve corresponds to where M = 1.
3. The lower branches are for supersonic flow and the upper branches are
subsonic flow.

Another reference state is with respect to sonic flow, where M* = 1, which occurs
at the smallest section of a device, i.e., the throat with area A*. It is convenient to
relate an area A at a given section to the area A* that would be achieved if the flow
were sonic with the same mass flow rate and stagnation state (analogous to a
reference condition).

From conservation of mass: ρAV=ρ*A*V*
Using definitions of the Mach number:
(k +1) 2 ( k −1)
A 1 2 k − 1 2
= 1 + M (9.52)
A* M k + 1 2
Thus, based on the equation above, for a value of A/A* other than unity, there are
two possible values for the Mach number (refer to Figure 9.33).

Recall that if the flow reaches sonic conditions within the nozzle, then a
corresponding A* exits when M*=1. Also, because the shock causes the flow to
become subsonic afterward, a new reference sonic condition exits (A*y).
