Problem 1. – Draw the T-s diagram for the adiabatic flow of a gas with γ = 1.4 in a
constant diameter pipe with friction. The reference Mach number, M1, for the flow is 3.0.
In this expression there are two values of To/T that will cause s/cp to vanish. Clearly,
both will cause the argument of the natural log function to be exactly equal to 1. One
value occurs at To/T1, i.e., when T = T1. Because of the nonlinearity of the function
involving To/T, the other value must be found numerically. This is readily accomplished
using a spreadsheet program to implement the Newton-Raphson method. Setting the
argument of the natural log function to unity gives

Problem 3. – Air (γ = 1.4) flows into a constant-area insulated duct with a Mach number
of 0.20. For a duct diameter of 1 cm and friction coefficient of 0.02, determine the duct
length required to reach Mach 0.60. Determine the length required to attain Mach 1.
Finally if an additional 75 cm is added to the duct length needed to reach Mach 1, while
the initial stagnation conditions are maintained, determine the reduction in flow rate that
would occur.

Problem 8. – A converging-diverging nozzle has an area ratio of 3.3, i.e., the exit and
therefore the duct area is 3.3 times the throat area, which is 60 cm2. The nozzle is
supplied from a tank containing air (γ = 1.4 and R = 0.287 kJ/kg · K) at 100 kPa at 270 K.
For case A of Figure P9.8, find the maximum mass flow possible through the nozzle and
the range of back pressures over which the mass flow can be attained. Repeat for case B,
in which a constant-area insulated duct of length 1.5 m and f = 0.022 is added to the
nozzle.
Case A Case B

Case A
The maximum flow rate will occur when the throat Mach number is 1. At this Mach
number, the throat static to total pressure and temperature ratios are: 0.5283 and 0.8333,

Here too, the maximum flow rate will occur when the throat Mach number is 1. At this
Mach number, the throat static to total pressure and temperature ratios are: 0.5283 and
