Question: A converging - diverging nozzle with a rectangular cross - section and exit area ratio A e A t = 5 . 5 operates in

A converging-diverging nozzle with a rectangular cross-section and exit area ratio AeAt=5.5
operates in an under-expanded condition as shown below. The working gas is air, the back pressure
away from the nozzle exit is pa=8kPa, and the stagnation pressure upstream of the nozzle is
p0=800kPa. The exit pressure is greater than the back pressure pe>pa, so expansion waves
form outside the exit. For the given conditions, determine:
(a) the Mach number on the downstream side of the first set of expansion waves
(b) the flow turning angle
In this problem, you must use the flow tables and charts (plus algebraic formulas). You will
likely need to use interpolation. You may only use the online calculator to check your numbers,
but this is not required.
