- How does the parameter Ma* differ from the Mach number Ma?arrow_forward1. Find the pressure of air at a point in a stream where M equals 1.8 when the pressure and Mach number at another point in the stream are 25 psia and 0.8 respectively. Assume isentropic conditions. 2. Air having a reservoir pressure of 30 psia and density of 0.15 lb/ft is accelerated to a Mach number of 1.6. Find the static pressure, density, and temperature at this Mach number. 3. Consider the flow of air through a supersonic nozzle. The reservoir pressure and temperature are 5 atm and 500 K, respectively. If the Mach number at the nozzle exit is 3, calculate the exit pressure , temperature, and density. 4. A supersonic nozzle is a convergent-divergent duct , which is fed by a large reservoir at the inlet to the nozzle. In the reservoir of the nozzle, the pressure and temperature are 10atm and 550°R , respectively. At the nozzle exit, the pressure is 1 atm. Calculate the temperature and density of the flow at the exit. Assume the flow is isentropic and , of course, compressible. 5.…arrow_forwardAir at 14 psia, 40°F, and a Mach number of 2.0 is forced to turn upward by a ramp that makes an 8° angle off the flow direction. As a result, a weak oblique shock forms. Determine the wave angle, Mach number, pressure, and temperature after the shock.arrow_forward

Assuming the flow to be isentropic, determine the flow area at the location where the Mach number is 1.2arrow_forwardAn ideal gas with k = 1.4 is flowing through a nozzle such that the Mach number is 1.6 where the flow area is 45 cm2. Approximating the flow as isentropic, determine the flow area at the location where the Mach number is 0.8.arrow_forwardThe ratio of stagnation temperature at the exit and entry of a combustion chamber is 3.75.
