Chapter 11: Problem 58
Supersonic airflow enters an adiabatic, constant area (inside diameter \(=1 \mathrm{ft}\) ) 30 -ft-long pipe with \(\mathrm{Ma}_{1}=3.0 .\) The pipe friction factor is estimated to be \(0.02 .\) What ratio of pipe exit pressure to pipe inlet stagnation pressure would result in a normal shock wave standing at (a) \(x=5\) ft, or \((\mathbf{b}) x=10 \mathrm{ft},\) where \(x\) is the distance downstream from the pipe entrance? Determine also the duct exit Mach number and sketch the temperature-entropy diagram for each situation.
