A small rocket motor, fueled with hydrogen and oxygen, is tested on a thrust stand at a simulated altitude of 10 km. The motor is operated at chamber stagnation conditions of 1500 K and 8.0 MPa gage. The combustion product is water vapor, which may be treated as an ideal gas. Expansion occurs through a converging-diverging nozzle with design Mach number of 3.5 and exit area of 700 mm2. Evaluate the pressure at the nozzle exit plane. Calculate the mass How rate of exhaust gas. Determine the force exerted by the rocket motor on the thrust stand.

- A rocket motor is designed to give 10, 000 N thrust at 10, 000 m altitude. The combustion chamber pressure and temperature are 2 × 106 P a and 2800°K, respectively. The gases exit the combustion chamber through a Laval nozzle. Find the exit Mach number, and the cross-sectional areas of the exit and the throat of the nozzle. Assume the nozzle flow is isentropic and one-dimensional, and that the ratio of specific heats γ for the combustion gases is 1.32.arrow_forwardA convergent-divergent nozzle with an exit-to-throat area ratio of 1.616has exit and reservoir pressures equal to 0.947 and 1.0 atm, respectively.Assuming isentropic flow through the nozzle, calculate the Mach numberand pressure at the throat.arrow_forwardSparky is experimenting with using different fluids in a duct. Based on helium as the working fluid the fluid conditions upstream of a normal shock are Mach Number of 3.0, temperature of 600 ºR, and pressure of 30 psia. Determine the Mach Number, T, and p downstream of the shock. Note the figures in the textbook are based on air, not helium. The base compressible flow equations must be used with the helium ratio of specific heats of 1.667.arrow_forward

At the outer radius of the eye. air leaving the guide-vanes has a velocity of 91.5 m/s at 20 deg to the axial direction. Determine the inlet relative Mach number, assuming frictionless flow through the guide vanes, and the impeller total-to-total efficiency.

What is the stagnation pressure and stagnation temperature of the air entering the engine? If the airliner is stationary on the ground, the engines are running with the same Mach number flow into the engines, and the air flow to each engine is 35 kg/s, what is the airflow to each engine at the above flight conditions?

The nozzle is designed to expand air from its combustion chamber in which the pressure and temperature are Po kPa and 1400 K respectively to a Mach number of 2.00. The exit area of this nozzle is to be 0.196 m². You may assume the chamber temperature remains constant. 1- Calculate the nozzle supply pressure and throat area, mass flow rate through the nozzle and its thrust when operating at its design condition; DEN5242 (May 2019) Question B3 continued 2- Calculate the mass flow rate through the nozzle for a pressure ratio Po Ph of = 1.005. 3- Calculate the mass flow rate through the nozzle at a chamber pressure of 50 kPa; 4- Determine the chamber pressure at which a normal shock wave stands at the exit plane of the nozzle.arrow_forwardQUESTION 2 A compressor blade design tested in a cascade is found to choke with an inlet Mach number of 0.9 when the inlet flow angle is 52 deg. If the ratio of the throat area to the frontal area, A*/H1s, for the cascade is).625, calculate the loss of stagnation pressure between the far upstream and the throat and express this as a loss coefficient. Give your comments on what could cause this loss.arrow_forward
