Question: 4 . Suppose we have a rocket combustor that has hot products produced at the following conditions: T = temperature = 4 6 0 0

4. Suppose we have a rocket combustor that has hot products produced at the following conditions:
T = temperature =4600 R
P = pressure =75 atmospheres
= ratio of specific heats =1.25
MW = average molecular weight =27
(a) Design a nozzle that will produce 75,000 pounds of thrust with an ambient pressure of one atmosphere. In particular, determine the following quantities: mass flow rate, exit pressure, exit or exhaust velocity, effective exhaust velocity, thrust coefficient, throat cross-sectional area, and exit cross-sectional area.
(b) Design a nozzle that produces 100,000 pounds of thrust with an ambient pressure at vacuum conditions. Limit the nozzle exit cross-sectional area to no more than thirty times the throat cross-sectional area. Determine the same quantities as described in Part (a).
