The nozzle in Problem 17.46 will have a throat area of 0.001272 m² and an exit area 2.896 times as large. Suppose the back pressure is raised to 1.4 MPa and that the flow remains isentropic except for a normal shock wave. Verify that the shock mach number \left( M _{ x }\right) is close to 2 and find the exit mach number, the temperature and the mass flow rate through the nozzle.
(a) From Table A.12: M_E=2.6
\begin{aligned}& P _{ E }=2.0 \times 0.05012=0.1002 \,MPa \\& T ^*=423.15 \times 0.8333= 3 5 2 . 7 ~ K \\& P ^*=2.0 \times 0.5283= 1 . 0 5 7 \,M P a\end{aligned}
Assume M_x=2 then
P _{ E }=0.94171 \times 0.72088 \times 2.0=1.357 \,MPa OK close to the 1.4 MPa
T _{ E }=0.98298 \times 423.15= 4 1 6 \,K , \quad \dot{ m }= 5 \,k g / s
