For supersonic and hypersonic wind tunnels, a diffuser efficiency, ηD,can be defined as the ratio of the total pressures at the diffuser exit andnozzle reservoir, divided by the total pressure ratio across a normal shockat the test-section Mach number. This is a measure of the efficiency ofthe diffuser relative to normal shock pressure recovery. Consider asupersonic wind tunnel designed for a test-section Mach number of 3.0which exhausts directly to the atmosphere. The diffuser efficiency is 1.2.Calculate the minimum reservoir pressure necessary for running thetunnel.
In a low-speed subsonic wind tunnel with a closed test section, a static pressure tap on the wall of the tunnel test section measures 0.98 atm. The temperature of the air in the test section is 80 ˚F. A Pitot tube is inserted in the middle of the flow in the test section in order to measure the flow velocity. The pressure measured by the Pitot tube is 2,200 psf. Calculate the flow velocity (in KPH) in the test section.

It can be done by choking the air at the throat of a converging-diverging nozzle, wherein at the throat, the local speed is equal to the speed of sound. At the reservoir, the pressure and temperature are 500 kilopascals and 882 Kelvin, respectively. If the flow rate along the nozzle is constant at 170.1 kg/s, compute for the area at the throat.arrow_forward
