Combine conservation, state equations– can algebraically show So we have three ways to change Mach number of a flow – area change (dA): – friction: f > 0, same effect as –dA – heat transfer: heating, q’’’ > 0, like –dA cooling, q’’’ < 0, like +dA
Effect of Shape of duct on Flow Pure shape effects :
Subsonic Diffuser Subsonic Nozzle dA < 0 & M <1 So, du > 0 & dp <0 dA > 0 & M <1 So, du < 0 & dp>0
Supersonic Nozzle Supersonic Diffuser dA > 0 & M >1 So, du >0 & dp<0 dA < 0 & M >1 So, du < 0 & dp >0

X – 15 : Hypersonic Research at the Edge of Space The X-15 was air launched from a B-52 aircraft at about 45,000 ft and speeds upward of 500 mph. The airplane first set speed records in the Mach 4-6 range with Mach 4.43 on March 7, 1961; Mach 5.27 on June 23, 1961; Mach 6.04 on November 9, 1961; and Mach 6.7 on October 3, 1967. It also set an altitude record of 354,200 feet (67 miles) on August 22, 1963, and provided an enormous wealth of data on hypersonic air flow. Aerodynamic heating, control and stability at hypersonic speeds, reaction controls for flight above the atmosphere, piloting techniques for reentry, human factors, and flight instrumentation.
