The objectives of Chapter 17 are to:
|
|
|
Develop the general relations for compressible flows encountered when gases flow at high speeds. |
|
|
|
Introduce the concepts of stagnation state, velocity of sound, and Mach number for a compressible fluid. |
|
|
|
Develop the relationships between the static and stagnation fluid properties for isentropic flows of ideal gases. |
|
|
|
Derive the relationships between the static and stagnation fluid properties as functions of specific-heat ratios and Mach number. |
|
|
|
Derive the effects of area changes for one-dimensional isentropic subsonic and supersonic flows. |
|
|
|
Solve problems of isentropic flow through converging and converging-diverging nozzles. |
|
|
|
Develop the concept of the normal shock wave and the variation of flow properties across the shock wave. |
|
|
|
Develop the concept of duct flow with heat transfer and negligible friction known as Rayleigh flow. |
|
|
|
Examine the operation of steam nozzles commonly used in steam turbines. |
