Engage in quick quizzes to reinforce what you've learned and check your comprehension.

Question 1

What happens to the velocity of a subsonic flow when the area of the nozzle decreases?

  • Velocity decreases
  • Velocity increases
  • Velocity remains constant

πŸ’‘ Hint: Recall the area-Velocity relationship in nozzles.

Question 2

Choked flow occurs when the Mach number reaches what value?

  • True
  • False

πŸ’‘ Hint: Think of when flow is maximized at the throat.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Design a nozzle that maximizes airflow for an aircraft flying at Mach 2. Specify the dimensions needed to achieve choked flow.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Consider aspects of nozzle tapering and area fluctuations to facilitate a smooth transition.

Question 2

If a nozzle has a throat area of 0.1 m² and operates at choked flow, calculate the mass flow rate given the air density ρ as 1.225 kg/m³.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Make sure to apply the correct principles of fluid flow.
