Question 20
MEMCQ1 markNeeds review
Consider an isentropic flow of air (ratio of specific heats = 1.4) through a duct as shown in the figure.
The variations in the flow across the cross-section are negligible. The flow conditions at Location 1 are given as follows:
kPa,
kg/m
,
m/sThe duct cross-section area at Location 2 is given by A₂ = 2A₁, where A₁ denotes the duct cross-section area at Location 1. Which one of the given statements about the velocity
and pressure
at Location 2 is TRUE?
