Thermodynamics of High-Speed Gas Flow

Learning Objectives


I.

Develop the general relations for the thermodynamics of high-speed gas flow.

II.

Introduce the concepts of stagnation state, velocity of sound, and Mach number for a compressible fluid.

III.

Develop the relationships between the static and stagnation fluid properties for isentropic flows of ideal gases.

IV.

Derive the relationships between the static and stagnation fluid properties as functions of specific-heat ratios and Mach number.

V.

Derive the effects of area changes for one-dimensional isentropic subsonic and supersonic flows.

VI.

Solve problems of isentropic flow through converging and converging-diverging nozzles.

VII.

Develop the concept of the normal shock wave and the variation of flow properties across the shock wave.

VIII.

Explain the influence of nozzle and diffuser efficiencies on the flow parameters for the flow of ideal gases and vapors through these devices.
