ENSC-283 Assignment #4: Figure 1 Schematic of The Converging-Diverging Nozzle

This document is an assignment for an engineering course that includes two problems. Problem 1 involves analyzing the flow properties of a converging-diverging nozzle, including estimating the mass flow rate, exit velocity, and Mach number. Problem 2 calculates the horizontal force needed to hold a barrier stationary when struck by a water jet splitting along the barrier. The assignment provides diagrams and equations to solve each problem.

Assignment #4

Assignment date: Monday Feb. 2, 2009

Due date: Monday Feb. 9, 2009

Problem1: (Nozzle)

The converging-diverging nozzle shown in Fig. 1 expands and accelerates dry air
to supersonic speeds at the exit, where 8 and 240 . At the
throat, 284 , 665 , and 517 / . For steady
compressible flow of an ideal gas, estimate (a) the mass flow in kg/h, (b) the
velocity , and (c) the Mach number .

Figure 1 schematic of the converging-diverging nozzle

Solution

The mass flow is given by the throat conditions:

where is the cross-sectional area at point 1. Density of the gas can be obtained
from the following equation

where 287 / . for air and is in Kelvin. Hence, for point 1,

For steady flow, mass flow rate remains constant, hence,

Recall that the speed of sound of an ideal gas is √ where / and


Mach number is defined as (what is the unit of Mach number?)

At point 2 the Mach number is

Problem 2 (water jet)

A steady two-dimensional water jet, 4 thick with a weight flow rate of


1960 / , strikes an angled barrier as in Fig. 2. Pressure and water velocity are
constant everywhere. Thirty percent of the jet passes through the slot. The rest
splits symmetrically along the barrier. Calculate the horizontal force needed, per
unit thickness into the paper, to hold the barrier stationary.

Solution

For water take 998 / . The control volume (see figure) cuts through all
four jets, which are numbered. The velocity of all jets follows from the weight flow
