Chapter 5, Problem 42P
The air velocity in the duct of a heating system is to be measured by a Pitot-static probe inserted into the duct parallel to the flow. If the differential height between the water columns connected to the two outlets of the probe is 3.2 m. determine (a) the flow velocity and (b) the pressure rise at the tip of the probe. The air temperature and pressure in the duct are 45°C and 98 kPa respectively.

Carbon dioxide flows steadily through a varying cross-
sectional-area duct such as a nozzle at a mass flow rate of 3
kg/s. The carbon dioxide enters the duct at a pressure of 1400
kPa and 200°C with a low velocity, and it expands in the nozzle
to a pressure of 200 kPa. The duct is designed so that the flow
can be approximated as isentropic.
Determine the following parameters at each location along the
duct that corresponds to a pressure drop of 200 kPa:
(i)
density;
(ii)
velocity:
(iii)
flow area;
(iv)
mach number.
You may assume:
• Carbon dioxide is an ideal gas with constant specific heats at
room temperature;
• Flow through the duct is steady, one-dimensional and isentropic.
Use c, 0 846 kJ/kgk andk = 1.289 throughout the calculations,
which are the constant-pressure specific heat and specific heat
ratio values of carbon dioxide at room temperature. The gas
constant of carbon dioxide is R = 0.1889 kJ/kg K.
Under steady-flow conditions, the fluid properties at an inlet or exit remain constant (do not change with time)
Argon is accelerated in a nozzle from 32 m/s at 666 K to 441 m/s and 196 kPa. If the heat loss is equal to 5.1 kJ/kg, determine the gas temperature at outlet in K to 1 decimal place. Take the gas constant as 0.2 (kPa m3)/(kg K) and assume constant specific heats cp=0.5 kJ/(kg K) and cv=0.3 kJ/(kg K).
