7.1: Duct Flow of Compressible Fluids
• Although momentum balances (equations of fluid dynamics)
are typically applied to pipe flow, thermodynamics provides
equations relating pressure, velocity, cross-sectional area,
enthalpy, entropy, and specific volume of a flowing stream
• Problems in compressible flow that do not require
momentum balances are within the scope of thermodynamics
• For adiabatic, steady-state, one-dimensional compressible
flow with no shaft work or changes in potential energy:
∆
∆ + =0
2
In differential form: =− (7.3)
• Together with Eqn. (7.3), this relates du, dS, dH, dA and dV
• If the preceding equations represent changes along a length dx,
then dividing (7.7) and (7.8) by dx creates:

Nozzles
• Well-designed nozzles have areas that change in a way that
makes the flow nearly frictionless. In the limit of reversible
flow, dS/dx = 0, transforming Eqns. (7.9) and (7.10) into:

• Assume the cross-sectional area before and after the nozzle are
the same
• Define the inlet pressure as P1 and the discharge pressure as P2
• The relationship between velocity and pressure in an isentropic
nozzle can be expressed analytically for the ideal-gas state and
constant heat capacities

Throttling Processes
©McGraw-Hill Education.
Throttling Process Calculations
• For processes involving superheated steam, use the
superheated steam tables (Appendix E.2)
• Assuming the inlet (1) and outlet (2) pressures are known, as
well as the inlet temperature:
– Look up H1, which will be equal to H2 for a throttling process
– At P2, skim through the temperatures until you find an enthalpy value
close to H1
– Interpolate between the appropriate table entries to determine the
actual final temperature, T2 for which H = H1 at P = P2
– If the exit state is in VLE (H1 is between Hl and Hv at P2), interpolate
between saturated liquid and vapor conditions to determine the
exhaust quality (vapor fraction)

Inversion Curves
• Locally, =g⁄=8 b can go
to 0 for real gases
• Plotting the points where
µ = 0, yields a boundary
between µ > 0 to µ < 0
• This boundary is called
an inversion curve

7.2: Turbines (Expanders)
• Turbines/Expanders: expansion of a gas in a nozzle to produce
a high-velocity stream where internal energy is converted to
kinetic energy which is then converted into shaft work when
the stream impinges on blades attached to a rotating shaft
• These typically consist of alternate sets of nozzles and rotating
blades through which vapor or gas flows in a steady-state
expansion process
• Overall: conversion of internal energy of a high-pressure
stream into shaft work
• Specifically, when steam is used, the device is called a turbine;
when some other high-pressure gas is used, it is often called
an expander

• Ideal process between 2
isobars with ∆S = 0

• In a real, irreversible
process, ∆S > 0,

Turbine/Expander Calculations
• For processes involving superheated steam, use the
superheated steam tables (Appendix E.2)
• Assuming P1, P2, and T1 are known:
– Look up H1 & S1 and assuming ∆S = 0, define the latter as equal to r
– At P2, skim through the temperatures until you find an entropy value
close to S1 = r
– Interpolate between the appropriate columns to determine the actual
final temperature, T2
– If the exit state is in VLE, interpolate between saturated liquid and
vapor conditions to determine the exhaust quality (vapor fraction)
– For the final state, interpolate for (or use the vapor fraction) to
determine r
– The difference between r
and H1 is the isentropic work:

Pumps
• Pumps, typically rotating equipment, are used to increase the
pressure of liquids
• Determination of the shaft work derives from the
fundamental property relation in Eqn. (6.9) for an isentropic
process: = 5 8 (Cmki )
