Chapter 17, Problem 1752C(choose chapter or problem)
Consider gas flow through a converging nozzle with specified inlet conditions. We know that the highest velocity the fluid can have at the nozzle exit is the sonic velocity, at which point the mass flow rate through the nozzle is a maximum. If it were possible to achieve hypersonic velocities at the nozzle exit, how would it affect the mass flow rate through the nozzle?

QUESTION:
Consider gas flow through a converging nozzle with specified inlet conditions. We know that the highest velocity the fluid can have at the nozzle exit is the sonic velocity, at which point the mass flow rate through the nozzle is a maximum. If it were possible to achieve hypersonic velocities at the nozzle exit, how would it affect the mass flow rate through the nozzle?
ANSWER:Step 1 of 2
We are to discuss the hypothetical situation of hypersonic flow at the outlet of a converging nozzle.
