Question: 9 . 3 0 . Air flows at a steady rate through a 0 . 0 8 m diameter 1 . 5 m long pipe.

9.30. Air flows at a steady rate through a 0.08 m diameter 1.5 m long pipe. A convergent-divergent nozzle expands the air to a Mach number of 2.25 and a pressure of 40 kPa at the inlet to the pipe. The air from the pipe is discharged into a large chamber in which the pressure can be varied. Assuming a friction factor of 0.003, find the pressure in this chamber if:
1. There are no shock or expansion waves in the flow
2. There is a normal shock wave on the exit plane of the pipe.
Answer is supposed to be: (1) The back pressure is 68.58 Kpa. (2) The back pressure is 177.1 Kpa.
