) Prob 1.) Consider a quasi-1-D steady adiabatic flow of 100 kg/s of neon gas (a monatomic gas that is calorically perfect) confined in a converging-diverging nozzle. A normal shock occurs at the nozzle exit plane at (2)→ (3) as shown. Friction is insignificant.


Problem 2.) SELECT THE BEST RESPONSE Given: These equations are valid for 1-D SSSF with no external heat transfer and no external work for a calorically perfect gas with constant R, Cv, Cp & y. CIRCLE the best response (A, B, C or D) concerning the validity of each equation for other types of matter.


Problem 3) For quasi-1D steady adiabatic flow in a converging-diverging channel with negligible friction, show that the maximum achievable mass flux (m/A) occurs at "critical" or sonic flow with Mach number equal to one, valid for all simple compressible substances. Note: For steady quasi-ID flow the maximum mass flux must occur at the minimum flow area (So dA-0). Clearly show symbolic equations. Starting from fundamental principles, explain the logical and algebraic steps to show the requirement for Mach number equal to one at this critical condition. You may refer to the text but do not use derived expressions from the text to skip over fundamental


Page 4) Given: Steady-state-steady-flow of a compressible gas. A thin normal shock occurs and is shown for a control volume fixed on the wave. Relative flow at (1) approaches the shock from upstream and uniform relative flow at (2) movies away downstream of the shock. For this flow situation only the pressures and densities are known. The gas is not thermally perfect. Starting from 1st principles develop the following general relationship for the shock speed of a wave moving into a static fluid. This is the shock speed (left-right) viewed from the ground.


3. The figure indicates a hypothetical one-dimensional supersonic inlet installed in a wind tunnel and equipped with a throttle valve by which the downstream static pressure p: might be varied. Suppose that the inlet is designed for a Mach number M-3.0 and that with this flight Mach number the shock has been swallowed and an internal shock exists, as at. Neglecting all losses except those occurring in the shock, calculate and plot the shock Mach num- ber M, and the stagnation pressure ratio Puz/pa. as a function of the static pressure ratio p/p. (for y=1.4). Let p/p. range from unity to well beyond that value which disgorges the shock.


5. Sketched are three supersonic inlets: an isentropic inlet, the Kantrowitz- Donaldson inlet of Fig. 6.10, and a simple normal shock inlet. For flight Mach numbers M from 1 to 4, calculate the plot poz/Po as a function of M. with each inlet operating with best back pressure.


6. It was shown that, during starting, an isentropic diffuser would experience a detached shock and consequent losses. In order to swallow the shock, a fixed- geometry diffuser must be overspeeded. However, as shown in Fig. 6.9, as the design Mach number increases, the required overspeeding increases very rapidly, so that even if the aircraft could be infinitely overspeeded, the design Mach number would be limited to a finite value. Assuming one-dimensional flow and constant y (1.4), determine the absolute maximum design Mach number for which an otherwise isentropic diffuser of fixed geometry may be expected to start, any amount of overspeed being possible.


5. (15 pts) During actual expansion and compression processes of gases, pressure and volume are often related by PV" = C (where n and C are constants. Such processes are called Polytropic Processes.) In a certain system under study, air goes through such a polytropic process where the temperatures and pressures change from 325 K and 125 kPa to 500 K and 300 kPa respectively. Find the polytropic exponent n and the mass specific work in the process.


4. (15 pts) Initially, 1.361 kg of steam is contained in a piston-cylinder device at 260°C with a quality of0.7. Heat is added at constant pressure to allow for expansion while all of the liquid is vaporized. The steam then expands adiabatically at constant temperature to a pressure of 2758 kPa, behaving essentially as an ideal gas. Determine the work done BY the steam ON the piston. Determine the work done BY the piston ON the atmosphere. What is the useful amount of mechanical work produced in this process?
