QUESTION:

Air enters a convergingdiverging nozzle at a pressure of 1200 kPa with negligible velocity. What is the lowest pressure that can be obtained at the throat of the nozzle?

ANSWER:

Step 1 of 2

Air enters a converging-diverging nozzle at specified conditions. The lowest pressure that can be obtained at the throat of the nozzle is to be determined.

Assumptions are

1. Air is an ideal gas with constant specific heats at room temperature.

2. Flow through the nozzle is steady, one-dimensional, and isentropic.

The specific heat ratio of air at room temperature is .
