A converging nozzle has an exit area of 0.001 m2. Air enters the nozzle with negligible velocity at a pressure of 1 MPa and a temperature of 360 K. For isentropic flow of an ideal gas with k = 1.4 and the gas constant R = Ru/MW = 287 J/kg-K, determine the mass flow rate in kg/s and the exit Mach number for back pressures of (a) 500 kPa and (b) 784 kPa.

a) for back pressures of (a) 500 kPa

- mass flow rate is 2.127 kg/s

- exit Mach number is 1.046

b) for back pressures of (a) 784 kPa

- mass flow rate is 1.793 kg/s

- exit Mach number is 0.6

Explanation:

Given that;

A₂ = 0.001 m²

P₁ = 1 MPa

T₁ = 360 K

k = 1.4

P₂ = 500 Kpa

(1000/500)^(1.4-1 / 1.4) = 360 /T₂

2^(0.4/1.4) = 360/T₂

1.219 = 360 / T₂

T₂ = 360 / 1.219

T₂ = 295.32 K

CpT₁ + V₁²/2000 = CpT₂ + V₂²/2000

we substitute

CpT₁ + V₁²/2000 = CpT₂ + V₂²/2000

1.005 × 360 =  1.005 × 295.32 + v₂²/2000

v₂ = 360.56 m/s²

p₂v₂ = mRT₂

500 × (0.001 × 360.56) = m × 0.287 × 295.32

m = 2.127 kg/s

so Mach Number = V₂ / Vc

Vc = √( kRT) = √( 1.4 × 287 × 295.32) = 344.47 m/s

So Mach Number =  V₂ / Vc  =  360.56 / 344.47 = 1.046

Therefore for back pressures of (a) 500 kPa

- mass flow rate is 2.127 kg/s

- exit Mach number is 1.046

b)

AT P₂ = 784 kPa

(1000/784)^(1.4-1 / 1.4) = 360/T₂

T₂ = 335.82 K

now

V₂²/2000 = 1.005( 360 - 335.82)

V₂ = 220.45 m/s

P₂V₂ = mRT₂

784 × (0.001 × 220.45) = m( 0.287) ( 335.82)

172.83 = 96.38 m

m = 172.83 / 96.38

m = 1.793 kg/s

just like in a)

Vc = √( kRT) = √( 1.4 × 287 × 335.82) = 367.32 m/s

Mach Number = V₂ / Vc = 220.45 / 367.32 = 0.6

Therefore for back pressures of (a) 784 kPa

- mass flow rate is 1.793 kg/s

- exit Mach number is 0.6
