Compressible Flow
12-1: Stagnation properties
12-2: 1-D isentropic flow
12-3: Isentropic flow through nozzlesObjectives:
Reviewing the concept of stagnation state, speed
of sound and Mach number for compressible
flow.
Relationship for stagnation state and isentropic
fluid properties
Effect of area changes (for 1-dimensional)
isentropic subsonic and supersonic flows
Concept of shock waves — normal and oblique
shock waves
Rayleigh flow (heat transfer effect) and Fanno
flow (friction effect)What is compressible flow?
Compressibility:
* measure of the change in density that will
produced in the fluid by a specified change in
pressure.
* gases — highly compressible whereas most
liquids have very low compressibility.
* Changes in pressure due to the changes in
velocity in the flow.
* pressure changes -> induce density changes,
will later has influence on the flow.What is compressible flow?
* These density changes are important. Why???
* density changes the temperature.
* The temperature changes in the flow due to
the kinetic energy, associated with the velocity
changes.

High speed aircraft
Gas turbines: the flow in the blading and nozzles
is compressible
Steam turbines: the flow in the nozzles and
blades is compressible
Reciprocating engines: the flow of gases through
the valves and in the intake and exhaust system
Combustion chambers: the study of combustion
in many cases requires the knowledge of
compressible fluid flow
Natural gas transmission lines: calculating the
flow through pipelinesAssumptions
Gas is continuous, i.e. the motion of individual
molecules does not have to be considered, the
gas treated as continuous medium.
No chemical changes occur in the flow field.
The gas is perfect
— Obeys perfect gas law
— Specific heats at constant pressure and constant
volume i.e. the gas is calorically perfect.
The gravitational effect on the flow field is negligible.
Magnetic and electrical effect negligible.
The effect of viscosity are negligible.What are the properties at the flow
field?
* Velocity vector, V
* Pressure, P
* Density, p
* Temperature, TSo what are the equations involving
those 4 variables?

* Typical cruising speeds and altitudes for three
commercial aircraft are: at
— Dash 8: cruising speeds: 500km/h at altitude of 4570m,
— Boeing 747: cruising speeds, #78km/h at altitude of
9150m.
— Concorde: cruising speed: 23f0km/h at altitude of
16600m.
Find the Mach number of these three aircraft when flying at
these cruise conditions. Use properties of the standard atm.Another example

which the pressure rise is 0.05kPa is travelling
down a pipe into air at a temperature of 30°C

Considera small solid body moving relative to a
gas. In order for the gas to pass smoothly over
the body, disturbances tend to be propagated a
head of the body to ‘warn’ the gas of the
approach body, i.e because the pressure at the
surface of the body is greater that that in the
surrounding gas, therefore pressure waves
spread out of from the body.Illustration of Mach waves
