Mech448 Assn6 2010

The document outlines Assignment 6 for the MECH448 course at Queen's University, focusing on compressible fluid flow. It includes four problems related to air discharge through nozzles, flow rates, and shock wave analysis for jet aircraft under various conditions. The assignment is due on November 20, 2010, and involves calculations for mass flow, pressure, temperature, and area ratios in different nozzle configurations.

MECH448
Compressible Fluid Flow

Assignment 6
Due: November 20, 2010


1. Air is discharged from a large reservoir, in which the pressure and temperature are 0.8MPa and
25
o
C respectively, through a convergent nozzle with an exit diameter of 5cm. The nozzle
discharges to the atmosphere. Find the rate of mass flow through the nozzle and the pressure and
temperature on the nozzle exit plane.

2. A convergent-divergent nozzle is designed to expand air from a chamber in which the pressure is
800kPa and the temperature is 40
o
C to give a Mach number of 2.5. The throat area of the nozzle
is 0.0025m
2
. Find (i) the flow rate through the nozzle under design conditions, (ii) the exit area
of the nozzle, (iii) the design back pressure and the temperature of the air leaving the nozzle with
this back pressure, (iv) the lowest back pressure for which there is only subsonic flow in the
nozzle, (v) the back pressure at which there is a normal shock wave on the exit plane of the
nozzle, (vi) the back pressure below which there are no shock waves in the nozzle, (vii) the range
of back pressures over which there are oblique shock waves in the exhaust from the nozzle, (viii)
the range of back pressures over which there are expansion waves in the exhaust from the nozzle,
(ix) the back pressure at which a normal shock wave occurs in the divergent section of the nozzle
at a point where the nozzle area is half way between the throat and the exit plane areas.

3. A small jet aircraft designed to cruise at a Mach number of 1.5 has an intake diffuser with a fixed
area ratio. Find the ideal area ratio for this diffuser and the Mach number to which the aircraft
must be taken in order to swallow the normal shock wave if the diffuser has this ideal area ratio.

4. A small jet aircraft designed to cruise at a Mach number of 2.5 has an intake diffuser with a
variable area ratio. Find the ratio of the throat area under these cruise conditions to the throat
area required when the aircraft is flying at a Mach number of 1.3. Assume the diffuser intake
area does not change. If the aircraft when flying at cruise conditions is suddenly slowed down
without altering the diffuser area ratio, sketch the diffuser flow pattern that will then exist.
