questions 1 to 8 for a total of 125 Marks.
QUESTION 1
‘What is the maximum velocity that supersonic flow can be expanded to? HINT: The minimum,
temperature that a fluid can have is 0 K, and you'll need to use the definition for stagnation
‘temperature. (5 MARKS)

‘An airflow at Mach 0.6 passes through a channel with a cross-sectional area of $0. em?. The
static pressure in the airstream is 50 kPa; static temperature is 298 K.

QUESTION 4
‘A normal shock is found to occur in the diverging portion of a converging diverging nozzle at
an area equal to 1.1 times the throat area. If the nozzle has a ratio of exit area to throat area of
2.2, determine the percent of decrease in nozzle exit velocity due to the presence of the shock

Assume the flow is expanded from negligible velocity, that the stagnation temperature of the
flow is the same for both cases, and that the working fluid is steam, which behaves as a perfect

QUESTION 6
For the flow of air (7 = 1.4 and R = 9.287 ki/kg_ K) from the reservoir at 650 kPa and 1000 K
shown in Figure 3, assume isentrop in the convergent divergent nozzle and Fanno flow
in the constant-area duct, which has @ £ 20 cm and a diameter of 1 cm. The area ratio
‘Ag/Ay of the C-D nozzle is 2.9. Take the fiction factor to be 0.02.
