Question: 2 . It is desired to design a supersonic wind tunnel, operating in air ( = 1 . 4 0 ; cp = 1 0

2. It is desired to design a supersonic wind tunnel, operating in air ( =1.40; cp =1004.5 J/kgK; R =287 J/kgK) that produces a flow with Mach 4.3 in the tests and mass flow of 1 kg/s. Calculate the required pressure and temperature in the reservoir, as well as the throat and nozzle outlet areas (The test section area corresponds to the nozzle outlet area). Consider that the ambient conditions are 25C and 1 atm.
