Air flows in an insulated duct. At point ① the conditions are M1 = 0.1, T1 = − 20° C and p1 = 1.0 MPa absolute. Downstream, at point ②, because of friction the conditions are M2 = 0.7, T2 = − 5.62°C, and p2 = 136.5 kPa absolute. (Four significant figures are given to minimize round off errors.) Compare the stagnation temperatures at points ① and ②, and explain the result. Compute the stagnation pressures at points ① and ②. Can you explain how it can be that the velocity increases for this frictional flow? Should this process be isentropic or not? Justify your answer by computing the change in entropy between points ① and ②. Plot static and stagnation state points on a Ts diagram.

- As shown in figure Q1, air flows through a converging nozzle from a large tank and into a receiver. At section 1, the temperature is 350 k, the pressure is 320 kPa (abs), and the flow the flow area is 0.40 m?. The pressure in the large tank is 360 kPa (abs). Nozzle exit area is 0.30 m?. Air flow is assumed to be steady and isentropic in the converging nozzle. Express answer at least 3 significant figures. Take K as 1.40 and R as 0.287 kJ/kg.K Determine: a) The mach number at Section 1. b) The mach number, pressure and velocity at the exit. c) The mass flow rate through the nozzle.

For the conditions shown, find the Mach number at both stations 1 and 2 and the flowrate. The diameter is not necessarily constant. Ma₁ (1) D₁ = 0.15 m V₁ = 40 m/s P1 = 4 atm abs.
