In a given rocket engine, a mass flow of propellants equal to 87.6 lbm/s is pumped into the combustion chamber, where the stagnation temperature after combustion is 6000°R. The combustion products have mixture values R = 2400 ft·lb / (slug·°R) and γ = 1.21. If the throat area is 0.5 ft2, calculate the stagnation pressure in the combustion chamber in lb/ft2. Hint: use your knowledge about choked flow.

    Explanation:

    Solution

    Given that:

    The first step is to convert mass flow rate unit

    m = 87.6 lbm/s = 2.72 slug/sec

    Now,

    We express the mass flow rate, which is

    m = p₀ A * / √T₀√y/R (2 / y+1) ^ (y+1) (y-1)

    so,

    2.72 = p₀ ^ (0.5) / √6000√1.21/2400 (2/2.21) ^10.52

    Thus,

    p₀ = 31736 lb/ft^2

    Then,

    We convert the pressure in terms of atmosphere

    p₀ = 31736 / 2116 = 15 atm
