walls Assuming isentropic flow √=1.4, CP=1.005 KJ/Kg-K
12. a. A convergent divergent nozzle is provided with a pipe of constant cross section at its exit,
the exit diameter of the nozzle and that of the pipe is 40cm. The mean coefficient of friction for
the pipe is 0.0025. Stagnation pressure and temperature of air at the nozzle entry are 12bar and
600K. The flow is isentropic in the nozzle and adiabatic in the pipe. The mach numbers at the entry
and exit of the pipe are 1.8 &1.0 respectively. Determine, a) The length of the pipe b) Diameter of
the nozzle throat and c) Pressure and temperature at the pipe exit. Depict graphically the static and
stagnation pressure variation from the nozzle entry to pipe exit.
