Air with a density of 0.45 kg/m3 enters an experimental jet engine at a rate of 175 m/s. The inlet area of the engine is 7.0 ft2. After fuel is burned, the air and combustion byproducts leave the engine with a velocity of 695 m/s through an outlet area of 6.0 ft2. What is the average density of the gas exiting the engine? Express your answer in kg/m3, slugs/ft3, and lbm/ft3.

Question

Air with a density of 0.45 kg/m3 enters an experimental jet engine at a rate of 175 m/s. The inlet area of the engine is 7.0 ft2. After fuel is burned, the air and combustion byproducts leave the engine with a velocity of 695 m/s through an outlet area of 6.0 ft2. What is the average density of the gas exiting the engine? Express your answer in kg/m3, slugs/ft3, and lbm/ft3.

Expert Solution
Step 1

Given:

at inlet,

velocity = 175 m/s

density = 0.45 kg/m3

area = 7 ft2

At exit,

velocity = 695 m/s

area = 6 ft2

To find:

density at exit

Conversion formula:

 1ft2 = 0.093 m2

1 kg/m3 = 0.00194 slug/ft3

1 kg/m3 = 0.0624 lbm/ft3
