Air, thermodynamic state of which is given by pressure P = 230 kN/m2
and temperature = 300K is moving at a velocity V = 250 m/s. Calculate the stagnation pressure if a) compressibility is neglected and b) compressibility is accounted for k = 1.4 ; R = 287 J/kgK
Solution:
Pressure of air: P0 = 230 kN/m2
Temperature of air: T0 = 300 K Velocity of air V0 = 250 m/s
The stagnation pressure
+ compressibility is neglected:
+ compressibility is accounted for:
