 Assignment # 3

1. Complete the problem we went over in the class. See the lecture notes/slides.

2. At the nose of a missile in flight, the pressure and temperature are 5.6 atm and
850o R, respectively. Calculate the density and specific volume. (Note: 1 atm =
2116 lb/ft2)

3. Assume that the flow of air through a given duct is isentropic. At one point in
the duct, the pressure and temperature are p1 = 1800 lb/ft2 and T1 = 500o R,
respectively. At a second point, the temperature is 400o R. Calculate the
pressure and density at this second point.
