Use of Compressible Gas Tables is permitted.

1. Ratio of exit to entry area in a supersonic diffuser is 4.0 Mach number of a jet of air
approaching the diffuser at Po = 1.013 bar, To = 290 K is 2.2 There is a standing normal
shock wave just outside the diffuser entry. Flow inside the diffuser is isoentropic.
Determine at the exit of rthe diffuser: (i). Mach No, (ii) Temperature and (iii) Pressure.

2. Air is discharged from a reservoir at Po = 6.91 bar, To = 325oC through a nozzle to an exit
pressure of 0.98 bar. If the flow rate is 3600 kg/hr, determine for the isoentropic flow: (i)
Throat area, pressure and velocity, (ii) Exit area and Mach number and (iii) Maximum
velocity.

3. A blunt nosed missile is flying at Mach 2.0 at standard sea level conditions. Calculate the
pressure and temperature at the nose of the missile.

4. Air enters a constant area duct at M1 = 3.0, P1 = 1 atm and T1 = 300 K. Inside the duct,
the heat added per unit mass is q = 3*105 J/kg. Calculate the flow properties M2, P2, T2,
2, To2 and Po2 at the exit of the duct.

5. A jet of air at Mach number 2.5 is deflected at the corner of a curved wall. The wave
angle at the corner of the curved wall is 60o. Determine the deflection angle of the wall,
pressure and temperature ratios and final Mach number.

6. Air at Po = 10 bar, To = 400 K is supplied to a 50 mm diameter pipe. Friction factor for

the pipe surface is 0.002. If Mach number changes from 3.0 at the entry to 1.0 at the exit,
determine: (i) Length of the pipe and (ii) Mass flow rate.

7. A convergent divergent nozzle is provided with a pipe of constant cross section at its exit.
Exit diameter of the nozzle and that of the pipe is 40 cms. Mean coefficient of friction
factor for the pipe is 0.0025. Stagnation temperature and pressure of the air at nozzle
entry are 12 bars and 600 K. Flow is isoentropic in the nozzle and adiabatic in the pipe.
Mach number at the entry and exit of the pipe are 1.8 and 1.0 respectively. Determine: (i)
Length of pipe, (ii) Diameter of nozzle throat, (iii) Pressure and temperature at pipe exit.
8. Supersonic flow over a concave corner is deflected by 15o downstream of the wave.
Assuming Prandtl Meyer flow, calculate the values of downstream Mach number,
pressure ratio and temperature ratio across the wave for upstream Mach numbers of 2.0
and 3.0. Compare these values with the corresponding values for oblique shocks.

9. A uniform supersonic stream with M1 = 1.5, P1 = 10 bar and T1 = 350 K encounters an

expansion corner which deflects the stream by an angle 20o. Calculate M2, P2, T2, Po2, To2
and the angles that the forward and rearward Mach lines make wrt upstream flow
direction.

10. A uniform supersonic stream with M1 = 3.0, P1 = 1 atm and T1 = 288 K encounters a
compression corner which deflects the stream by an angle = 20o. Calculate the shock
wave angle, P2, T2, M2, Po2 and To2 behind the shock wave.
