Tutorial 1

This document contains 8 problems related to compressible flow. Problem 1 asks to calculate changes in temperature, work done, and pressure ratio for gas expansion in an insulated cylinder. Problem 2 asks to determine the entropy change for gas in a cylinder changing pressure at constant pv^1.32. Problem 3 asks to compute the temperature rise for Mach 2 flow at 10,000 m altitude. Problem 4 asks to determine the time to reduce pressure by half for oxygen leaking from a storage bottle.

AE 602 Compressible Flows: Tutorial 1

1. Air is expanded in an insulated cylinder euipped with a frictionless piston. The initial
temperaturr is 1400K. The original volume is 1/10 of the final volume. Calculate change in
temperature, the work done by the gas and the pressure ratio.
2. Air in a cylinder changes from 101 kPa and 310 K to a pressure of 1100 kPa according to a
process pv1.32 = constant. Determine the entropy change associated with this process.
Assume air as ideal gas.
3. Compute the temperature rise at the nose of an aircraft flying with a Mach number 2 at an
altitude of 10,000 m. At 10000 m, T = 223.15 K.
4. A slow leak develops in a storage bottle and oxygen slowly leaks out. The volume of the
bottle is 0.1 m3 and the diameter of the hole is 0.1 mm. The initial pressure is 10 MPa and
the temperature is 20°C. The oxygen escapes through the hole according to the relation,

where p is the tank pressure and T is the tank temperature. The constant 0.04248 is based
on the gas constant and the ratio of specific heats of oxygen. The units are: pressure N/m2,
temperature K, area m2 and mass flow rate kg/s. Assuming that the temperature of the
oxygen in the bottle does not change with time, determine the
time it takes to reduce the pressure to one half of its initial value.
5. A gas flows steadily in a 2.0 cm diameter circular tube with a
uniform velocity of 1.0 cm/s and a density ρo. At a cross section
farther down the tube, the velocity distribution is given by V =
Uo[1-( r/R)2], with r in centimeters. Find Uo, assuming the gas density to be ρo[1+( r/R)2].
6. A piston compresses gas in a cylinder by moving at a constant
speed, V. The gas density and the piston length are initially r0
and L0, respectively. Assume that the gas velocity varies
linearly from velocity, V, at the piston face to zero velocity at
the cylinder wall (at L). If the gas density varies only with time,
determine r(t).
7. A viscous, incompressible, Newtonian liquid is contained between two infinitely long plates
that are separated by a distance, H. There are no
pressure gradients in the horizontal direction.
The top plate
moves at constant velocity, U, and the bottom
plate is fixed. No pressure gradients are applied
in the xdirection. Write all the simplifying asuumptions to analyse the problem.
8. A steady flow of air passes through the elbow-nozzle assembly shown. At the inlet (1), the
pipe diameter is D1 = 0.1524 m and the air properties are p1
= 871.7 kPa (abs), T1 = 529.0 K, and V1 = 230.4 m/s. The air is
expanded through a converging-diverging nozzle discharging
into the atmosphere where patm = 101.3 kPa (abs). At the
nozzle exit (2), the nozzle diameter is D2 = 0.3221 m and the
air properties are T2 = 475.7 K and V2 = 400.0 m/s. Is the
flow through the elbow-nozzle assembly adiabatic? Why?
