An airplane is flying at an altitude of 10 km at 120 m/s. Its jet engines, which for now can be approximated as a converging duct, have an inlet diameter of 1.5m and an exit diameter of 0.3m. The exit of the engine has a temperature altitude of 11 km, and pressure altitude of 10.5 km.

a. Is the flow incompressible or compressible? How do you know?

b. What is the velocity at the engine exit?

Q1. An ideal jet engine with a compressor, combustion chamber, turbine and converging nozzle was held stationary during an experiment to measure thrust in a laboratory. The turbine is used to drive the compressor. The atmospheric pressure and room temperature in the laboratory is measured as 102 kPa and 283 K. The gauge pressure at compressor exit is measured as 0.0781 bar and the inlet air flow is 10.4414 l/s. The maximum temperature reached in the jet engine is measured...
