List of top Aerodynamics Questions on Isentropic Flow

An aircraft is flying at an altitude of 4500 m above sea level, where the ambient pressure, temperature, and density are 57 kPa, 259 K, and 0.777 kg/m\(^3\), respectively. The speed of the aircraft \( V \) is 230 m/s. Gas constant \( R = 287 \, {J/kg/K} \), and specific heat ratio \( \gamma = 1.4 \). If the stagnation pressure is \( p_0 \), and static pressure is \( p \), the value of \[ \frac{p_0 - p}{\frac{1}{2} \rho V^2} \] is __________ (rounded off to two decimal places).

Consider a steady, isentropic, supersonic flow (\(M > 1\)) entering a convergent-divergent (CD) duct as shown. Which option correctly describes the flow at the throat?

A perfect gas stored in a reservoir exhausts through a convergent nozzle. The jet emerges at choked conditions with average velocity $u$. If reservoir pressure $p_0$ increases while $T_0$ remains constant, determine effect on $M, u, T, p, \rho$.
The ratio of the speed of sound in \(\mathrm{H_2}\) (molecular weight \(2~\mathrm{kg/kmol}\)) to that in \(\mathrm{N_2}\) (molecular weight \(28~\mathrm{kg/kmol}\)) at \(T=300~\mathrm{K}\) and \(p=2~\mathrm{bar}\) is \underline{\hspace{1cm}}. \;(round off to two decimal places)
