Question: d d d t = ( m ) V d P d d t = ( m ) V a a 2 where m '

dddt=(m)V
dPddt=(m)Vaa2
where m' is the mass flow rate and the speed of sound in the atmospheric air is aa
A small hole is perforated on the wall of a chamber of volume V that is initially void
of gas. The hole resembles a convergent nozzle of minimum cross-sectional area. Air from the
atmosphere flows through the hole filling up the chamber, as shown in the figure below. The
atmosphere is at pressure Pa and temperature Ta .
Show that mass and total internal-energy conservation constraints require that the time evolution
of the density d and pressure Pd of the gas in the chamber are given by
d d d t = ( m ) V d P d d t = ( m ) V a a 2 where
