The properties of the air in the inlet section with A1 = 0.25ab m2 in a converging-diverging channel are given as U1 = 25a,b m/s, T1 = 3ab K, P1 = 13a,b kPa (absolute). Find the required cross-sectional area, pressure, temperature, velocity and mass flow rate to obtain sonic (Ma2=1.0) flow at the outlet. Calculate critical values of A*, U*, T*, P*.
Solve the problem by making the necessary assumptions and drawing the schematic figure.

Air flows through a converging-diverging nozzle/diffuser. Assuming isentropic flow, air as an ideal gas, and constant specific heats determine the state at several locations in the system. Solve using equations rather than with the tables. Note: The specific heat ratio and gas constant for air are given as k=1.4 and R=0.287 kJ/kg-K respectively. --Given Values-- Inlet Temperature: T1 (K) = 348 Inlet pressure: P1 (kPa) = 544 Inlet Velocity: V1 (m/s) = 122 Area at nozzle inlet: A1 (cm^2) =...

2. An aircraft with a single turbojet engine (with an inlet area of 1 m2) is flying at cruising condition with a flight Mach number of 0.7. The ambient temperature and pressure are 250 K and 100 kPa, respectively. The engine compressor pressure ratio is 12, and the turbine inlet temperature is 1200 K. Assume all mechanical components are operating at isentropic condition and the specific heat can be considered a constant (throughout the entire engine) of 1 kJ/(kg K)....

Section B – combined cycles Overview: a combined gas – steam power cycle in Sweden provides electricity and hot water for heating duties for a small city. The gas turbine drives an electricity generator with an efficiency of 97%. A sub-critical coal fired boiler is used as a heat recovery steam generator, as well as providing additional steam from coal during the winter months. The steam turbine drives an electricity generator with an efficiency of 95%. The plant is located...
Quantitative: In the 1950s liquid hydrogen was considered as a fuel for a new type of aircraft being developed, the SR-71 Blackbird (shown in Figure 1). Figure 1: The SR-71 Blackbird Early research on the project focused on which fuel to use for the Blackbird. Pratt & Whitney had a J-57 engine that was designed for kerosene and being considered for implementation on the Blackbird. The J-57 only took 5 months to convert to running on liquid hydrogen, however tests...
