Specific heat for gas is almost constant in the case of_______(a) Space vehicle(b) High-temperature flow(c) Air in a desert(d) Chemically reacting flow at high- speedsThis question was posed to me in semester exam.This is a very interesting question from A Brief Review of Thermodynamics topic in chapter Compressible Flow – Preliminary Aspects of Aerodynamics |
Answer» CORRECT option is (c) Air in a desert Explanation: Instances of very high temperature, CHEMICALLY reacting flow at high-speeds do not have constant specific HEATS. Space vehicles fall in this CATEGORY. The air in any desert would not have temperatures HIGHER than 1000K and thus fall in the category of calorically perfect gas (i.e. constant specific heat). |
