1. The pressure in a reservoir of a supersonic wind tunnel is 178.42 KPa, and the density is 1.7 kg/m3. The pressure outside the nozzle is atmospheric, with a Mach number of 1.8 at the exit. The throat has a surface area of 0.15m2 with a Mach Number of 1.0. Solve for the value of the following: (a) Reservoir temperature and speed of sound. (b) Pressure, density, temperature and speed of sound at the throat. (c) Mass flow at the exit.
