    The document is the final exam for ME 355: Compressible Flows at Stanford University. It contains two parts - the first part has closed book, closed note multiple choice questions about oblique shock waves, curved shock waves, and ZND detonations. The second part is an open book, open note section with two multi-part problems to solve. Problem 1 involves analyzing the flow through a simplified ramjet engine. Problem 2 involves analyzing acoustic wave propagation in a closed duct that initially has a pressure imbalance separated by a diaphragm.

    Stanford University
    Final Exam
    Friday, June 3

    Guidelines: Please turn in neat and clean exam solutions that give all the formulae that you have
    used as well as details that are required for the grader to understand your solution. Attach these
    sheets to your solutions. Assume γ = 1.4 and cp = 1.0 KJ/KgK for all problems.

    Student’s Name:.......................................................... Student’s ID:.............................

    PART I: Closed books, closed notes, calculators allowed


    Time: 40 mins

    Questions (30 pts)


    1. Using the conservation equations in a control volume that includes an oblique shock front, state the
    continuity, momentum and energy jump constraints across the shock wave, indicating which variables
    (or group of variables) remain invariant and which ones are discontinuous.
    2. Explain why a curved shock wave generates vorticity in an initially irrotational flow.
    3. Explain the structure of a ZND detonation indicating its main regions in terms of pressure, temperature
    and velocity variations across the front, and sketch the approximate thermodynamic trajectory of a
    fluid particle in a pressure / specific-volume diagram.

    Problem 1 (40 pts)


    A simplified model of a RAMJET engine is depicted in the figure below. RAMJETS differ from SCRAM-
    JETS in that combustion in the former occurs subsonically rather than supersonically. Supersonic air
    at U1 = 2 km/s, Ta = 270 K and Pa = 0.1 bar is ingested through a nozzle of cross section A1 = 20
    cm2 that creates a normal shock. The flow passes through a diffuser of area ratio A3 /A1 = 2 before
    entering the combustion chamber. The heat release from combustion leads to a 20% increase in the
    stagnation temperature. The combustion products flow through a converging-diverging nozzle of area
    ratio A4 /A5 = 0.2, with A4 /A3 = 0.5.
    a) The Mach number, pressure and temperature of the air entering the combustor.
    b) The Mach number, pressure and temperature of the gas leaving the combustor.
    c) The Mach number, pressure and temperature of the exhaust gases.
    d) The specific impulse of the engine, Is = F/(ṁg), where F is the engine thrust, ṁ is the mass flow rate,
    and g is the gravitational acceleration.

    Problem 2 (30 pts)

    A closed duct of length 2L is initially divided into two equal cavities filled with the same gas at
    the same temperature To and separated by a diaphragm. Initially, the pressure of the gas in the right
    cavity is Po , while the pressure of the gas in the left cavity is Po (1 + ǫ), with ǫ ≪ 1. At t = 0 the
    diaphragm is removed and acoustic waves propagate into both cavities. Draw the velocity and pressure
    profiles in the duct as a function of x for a) t = L/(2a0 ), b) t = L/a0 , and c) t = 2L/a0 , where a0
    is the speed of sound. Justify your sketches by appropriately computing the flow variables using the
    acoustics theory.
