Meriam, Kraige & Bolton — Kinetics of Systems of Particles: Problem 4_88

4/88 In the static test of a jet engine and exhaust nozzle assembly, air is sucked into the engine at the rate of 30 kg/s and fuel is burned at the rate of 1.6 kg/s. The flow area, static pressure, and axial-flow velocity for the three sections shown are as follows: Sec. A: Flow area, \(m^2 = 0.15\), Static pressure, kPa \(= -14\), Axial-flow velocity, m/s \(= 120\) Sec. B: Flow area, \(m^2 = 0.16\), Static pressure, kPa \(= 140\), Axial-flow velocity, m/s \(= 315\) Sec. C: Flow area, \(m^2 = 0.06\), Static pressure, kPa \(= 14\), Axial-flow velocity, m/s \(= 600\) Determine the tension \(T\) in the diagonal member of the supporting test stand and calculate the force \(F\) exerted on the nozzle flange at \(B\) by the bolts and gasket to hold the nozzle to the engine housing.
