Air at 1500 K, 300 kPa, and M = .3 enters an isentropic nozzle with an inlet area of .5 m2 and leaves at 75 kPa. Assuming a calorically perfect gas, determine: a) The velocity and mass flow rate of the entering air b) The temperature and Mach number of the leaving air c) The exit area and magnitude and direction of the force on the diffuser (assume outside of diffuser sees 75 kPa)

Answer rating: 100% (QA)

To solve this problem we will use the isentropic flow equations for a calorically perfect gas The isentropic flow through a nozzle can be analyzed usi... View the full answer
