 Assignment # 8
1. Consider air entering a heated duct at p1 = 1 atm and T1 = 288
K. Ignore the effect of friction. Calculate the amount of heat
per unit mass (in joules per kilogram) necessary to choke the
flow at the exit of the duct, as well as the pressure and
temperature at the duct exit, for an inlet Mach number of (a)
M1 = 2.0 (b) M1 = 0.2

2. Air enters the combustor of a jet engine at p1 = 10 atm, T1 =

1000oR, and M1 = 0.2. Fuel is injected and burned, with a fuel-
air ratio (by mass) of 0.06. The heat released during the
combustion is 4.5 x 108 ft-lb per slug of fuel. Assuming one-
dimensional frictionless flow with γ = 1.4 for the fuel-air
mixture, calculate M2, p2, and T2 at the exit of the combustor.

3. Air is flowing through a pipe of 0.02 m inside diameter and 40
m length. The conditions at the exit of the pipe are M2 = 0.5, p2 =
1 atm, and T2 = 270 K. Assuming adiabatic, one dimensional flow,
with a local friction coefficient of 0.005, calculate M1, p1 and T1 at
the entrance to the pipe.

4. Consider the adiabatic flow of air through a pipe of 0.2 ft inside

diameter and 3 ft length. The inlet flow conditions are M1 = 2.5,
p1 = 0.5 atm, and T1 = 520oR. Assuming the local friction
coefficient equals a constant of 0.005, calculate the following
flow conditions at the exit: M2, p2, T2, and Po2.

5. Consider an oblique shock wave with a wave angle equal to
35o. Upstream of the wave, p1 = 2000 lb/ft2, T1 = 520oR, and V1 =
3355 ft/s. Calculate p2, T2, V2, and the flow deflection angle.

6. In the flow past a compression corner, the upstream Mach

number and pressure are 3.5 and 1 atm, respectively.
Downstream of the corner, the pressure is 5.48 atm. Calculate the
deflection angle of the corner.

7. Consider the flow past a 30o expansion corner. The upstream

conditions are M1 = 2, p1 = 3 atm, and T1 = 400 K. Calculate the
following downstream conditions: M2, p2, T2, To2 and Po2.
