Question 1

What is isentropic efficiency?

  • A ratio of actual to ideal performance
  • The ratio of pressure rising
  • Efficiency at rest

πŸ’‘ Hint: Consider what makes a process efficient.

Question 2

True or False: Higher isentropic efficiency means lower energy losses.

  • True
  • False

πŸ’‘ Hint: Reflect on what efficiency means.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A rocket nozzle has real kinetic energy changes of 270 J, while the ideal case is 450 J. What is the nozzle's efficiency, and how can it be improved?

πŸ’‘ Hint: Think about what design changes could be incorporated.

Question 2

If a diffuser shows a pressure rise of 24 kPa when the isentropic prediction was 40 kPa, evaluate its efficiency and suggest what might cause this discrepancy.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Consider factors that hinder ideal performance.
