NAME SURNAME

A frictionless constant area duct is fed with air through an isentropic converging-diverging
nozzle which is connected to a large tank where the temperature and the pressure are 314 K and
642 kPa, respectively. The ratio of the exit to throat cross-sectional area in the nozzle is 1.9. If
the pressure at the end of the duct is 97 kPa, determine the Mach number and the temperature
at the end of the duct. Also, calculate the amount of heat transfer per unit mass and the entropy
change.
