Textbook Question
Chapter 12, Problem 47P
Air flows from the atmosphere into an evacuated tank through a convergent nozzle of 38-mm tip diameter. If atmospheric pressure and temperature are 101.3 kPa and 15°C, respectively, what vacuum must be maintained in the tank to produce sonic velocity in the jet? What is the flow rate? What is the flow rate when the vacuum is 254 mm of mercury?

Explain the difference between back pressure and exit pressure (in context of a gas flowing through a nozzle?). Assume two cases:
a. The flow exiting the nozzle is subsonic b. The flow exiting the nozzle is supersonic
Answer the problem correctly and provide complete and readable solutions. If you can explain the process (briefly), please do so. Thank you!
A pitot tube is used to measure the flow rate of air at a temperature of 500 K inside a
duct. If the measured static pressure was 200 kPa, the measured stagnation pressure
was 223 kPa and the air can be treated as an ideal gas what is the air velocity?
