What happens to the fluid density in compressible flows?
Think about what happens to gases at different speeds.
Define stagnation temperature.
Recall the conditions of no heat transfer.
What defines compressible flow?
Think about speed and density.
True or False: Stagnation properties are values at rest under isentropic conditions.
Consider definitions of temperature and properties.
A supersonic aircraft is cruising at a Mach number of 2.5. Calculate the change in pressure and temperature across a normal shock experienced when the aircraft slows down to a Mach number of 0.8.
Setup equations for conservation principles.
A nozzle is designed for a fluent flow with an initial pressure of 200 kPa and temperature of 300 K. Determine the area at the throat if the Mach number needs to be maintained at 2.0.
Remember to rearrange equations to solve for area.
