Question:
Steady, compressible flow of air takes place through an adiabatic converging- diverging nozzle, as shown in the figure. For a particular value of pressure difference across the nozzle, a stationary normal shock wave forms in the diverging section of the nozzle. If E and F denote the flow conditions just upstream and downstream of the normal shock, respectively, which of the following statement(s) is/are TRUE?

Top Questions on Basics of compressible fluid flow
- In the pipe network shown in the figure, all pipes have the same cross-section and can be assumed to have the same friction factor. The pipes connecting points W, N, and S with point J have an equal length L. The pipe connecting points J and E has a length 10L. The pressures at the ends N, E, and S are equal. The flow rate in the pipe connecting W and J is Q. Assume that the fluid flow is steady, incompressible, and the pressure losses at the pipe entrance and junction are negligible. Consider the following statements:
I: The flow rate in pipe connecting J and E is \(\frac{Q}{21}\).
II: The pressure difference between J and N is equal to the pressure difference between J and E.

- A heat pump (H.P.) is driven by the work output of a heat engine (H.E.) as shown in the figure. The heat engine extracts 150 kJ of heat from the source at 1000 K. The heat pump absorbs heat from the ambient at 280 K and delivers heat to the room which is maintained at 300 K. Considering the combined system to be ideal, the total amount of heat delivered to the room together by the heat engine and heat pump is _____kJ (answer in integer).
