Air at temperature 26 °C and pressure 101.4 kPa enters the diffuser steadily with a velocity of 190 m/s. The inlet area of the diffuser is 0.6m2. The air leaves the
diffuser with nearly zero velocity. Determine the mass flow rate in kg/s of the air. Use R=0.287 kJ/kgK.
Please keep one decimal for the final answer.
68 m3/s of air enters a combustion chamber of a jet
engine at a velocity of 418 m/s at -59 °C and 31 kPa.
The air leaves the chamber at 944 m/s at 187 °C.
Determine the fuel (in kg) consumed during a 30
minute flight. Assume that changes in air mass flow
rate through the chamber are not significant and
Ah = CPAT. Take the air gas constant to be 0.287
kPa.m3/kg.K, the specific heat of air to be 1 kJ/(kgK)
and the heating value of the fuel to be 42,024 kJ/kg.
Give your answer to the nearest kg.
A nozzle operates with steam entering at 700 kPa and 300 °C. The velocity at the inlet is 30 m/s. As the steam flows through the nozzle, the pressure decreases. Determine the area ratio value (Area / Area inlet), where Area inlet is the cross sectional area of the nozzle at the inlet, at the sections of the nozzle where the pressure values are 650, 550, 450, 350, and 250 kPa. Assume nozzle operates isentropically.
