Problem

Air flows adiabatically through a duct. At point 1 the velocity is 240 m/s, with

T_1 = 320

K and

p_1 = 170

kPa. Compute (a)

T_0

, (b)

p_0

, (c)

\rho_0

, (d) Ma, (e)

V_{\max}

, and (f)

V^*

. At point 2 further downstream

V_2 = 290

m/s and

p_2 = 135

kPa. (g) What is the stagnation pressure

p_{02}
