Air flows steadily through a constantarea duct At the entran
Air flows steadily through a constant-area duct. At the entrance the velocity is 7.2 m/s and temperature is
300 K. The duct is heated such that at the exit the temperature is 555 K .
Part A
If the specific volume (v) of air is proportional to the absolute temperature (in K) and the mass flow rate remains constant throughout the duct, determine the exit velocity.
Solution
According to ideal gas law pv= nrt
V1/ V2 = T1 / T2
WHERE V1 , T1 represents velocity , tempertaure at entrance.
V2 , T2 represents velocity , tempertaure at exit.
therefore 7.2 / V2 = 300 / 555
form this V2 = 13.33 m/s.
exit velocity = 13.33 m/s.
