1. For a Rayleigh flow, perform analysis to find the following equation that relates the
properties at and .
2 1 12 22 + 1
=
=
(
)
1 2 22 12 + 1
2. Air enters a constant-area duct with 1 = 3.0 and 1 = 250. Heat transfer decreases the
outlet Mach number to 2 = 1.60. Compute the exit static and stagnation temperature, and
find the magnitude and direction of the heat transfer.
3. Consider frictionless flow of air in a constant-area duct. At section , 1 = 0.50, 1 =
1.10 (abs), and 01 = 333. Through the effect of heat exchange, the Mach number at
section is 2 = 0.90 and the stagnation temperature is 02 = 478. Determine the
amount of heat exchange per unit mass to or from the fluid between sections and , the
pressure differnce 1 2, and the entropy difference 1 2 .
4. Flow in a gas turbine combustor is modeled as steady, one-dimensional, frictionless heating
of air in a channel of constant area. For acertain process, the inlet conditions are 500,
1.5 (abs), and = 0.5. Calculate the maximum possible heat addition, and Find the
reduction in stagnation pressure.
