Question: Air enters the diffuser of a ramjet engine ( schematic shown below ) at 6 l b f i n 2 , 4 2 0

Air enters the diffuser of a ramjet engine (schematic shown below) at 6lbfin2,420R, with a velocity of 1800fts, and decelerates essentially to zero velocity. After combustion, the gases reach a temperature of 2000R before being discharged through the nozzle at 6lbfin.?2
On the basis of an air-standard analysis, determine:
(a) the pressure at the diffuser exit, in Ibf/in.?2
(b) the velocity at the nozzle exit, in fts.
Neglect kinetic energy except at the diffuser inlet and the nozzle exit. Assume combustion occurs at constant pressure and flow through the diffuser and nozzle is isentropic.
