Air flows steadily and isentropically from standard atmospheric conditions to a receiver pipe through a converging duct.
Question:
Air flows steadily and isentropically from standard atmospheric conditions to a receiver pipe through a converging duct. The cross-sectional area of the throat of the converging duct is \(0.05 \mathrm{ft}^{2}\). Determine the mass flowrate through the duct if the receiver pressure is
(a) \(10 \mathrm{psia}\),
(b) 5 psia.
Sketch temperature-entropy diagrams for situations (a) and (b). Verify results obtained with values from the appropriate graph in Appendix D with calculations involving ideal gas equations. Is condensation of water vapor a concern? Explain.
