Solved Problems: Compressible Flow in Nozzles & Tunnels

This document discusses problems involving compressible flow through nozzles, diffusers, and wind tunnels. It provides solutions to calculating Mach number, pressure, and temperature at various points for isentropic flow through convergent-divergent nozzles with given area ratios and reservoir conditions. It also includes calculating Mach numbers given an exit pressure and determining the ratio of diffuser throat area to nozzle throat area for a Mach 2 supersonic wind tunnel design.

Solved Problems of Compressible flow through

Nozzles, Diffusers and Wind Tunnels

1 - Consider the isentropic supersonic flow through a convergent-


divergent nozzle with an exit-to-throat area ratio of 10.25. The reservoir
pressure and temperature are 5 atm and 500 K, respectively. Calculate
M, p, and T at the nozzle exit.
■ Solution

1 Dr/ Alaa Eldin Omar


2 - Consider the isentropic flow through a convergent-divergent nozzle
with an exit-to-throat area ratio of 2. The reservoir pressure and
temperature are 1 atm and 288 K, respectively. Calculate the Mach
number, pressure, and temperature at both the throat and the exit for the
cases where (a) the flow is supersonic at the exit and (b) the flow is
subsonic throughout the entire nozzle except at the throat, where M = 1.
■ Solution

3 - For the nozzle in Example 2, assume the exit pressure is 0.973 atm.
Calculate the Mach numbers at the throat and the exit.
■ Solution

4- For the preliminary design of a Mach 2 supersonic wind tunnel,


calculate the ratio of the diffuser throat area to the nozzle throat area.
■ Solution
