Using EES (or other) software, calculate and plot the entropy change of air across the normal shock for upstream Mach numbers between 0.5 and 1.5 in increments of 0.1. Explain why normal shock waves can occur only for upstream Mach numbers greater than Ma 5 1.

Compute the pressure drop of 30°c air flowing with a mean velocity of 8 m/s in a circular sheet-metal duct 300 mm in diameter and 15 m long. use a friction factor, f 0.02, and pair = 1.1644 kg/m a. 37.26 pa b. 25.27 pa n c. 29.34 pa d. 30.52 pa

Arigid tank contains 10 kg of air at 137 kpa (abs) and 21°c. more air is added to the tank until the pressure and temperature rise to 242 kpa (abs) and 32°c, respectively. determine the amount of air added to the tank. [r-0.287 kj/kg k]

Abrayton cycle operates with a regenerator on the air-standard with properties evaluated at 400 k. the tem- perature of the air entering the compressor is 350k while the temperature of the air exiting the compressor is 600 k. the temperature of the air entering the turbine is 1600 k. the overall cycle produced 600 kj/kg of net work out. assuming a regenerator effectiveness of 0.8, what is the temperature of the air before heat addition (combustion)? draw this process on a t - s diagram
