Property Relations for Rayleigh Flow
It is often desirable to express the variations in properties in terms of the Mach
number Ma. Noting that and thus ,
(17–57)
since PrRT. Substituting into the momentum equation (Eq. 17–51) gives
P 1 kP 1 Ma 12 P 2 kP 2 Ma^22 , which can be rearranged as
(17–58)
Again utilizing VMa , the continuity equation r 1 V 1 r 2 V 2 can be
expressed as
(17–59)
Then the ideal-gas relation (Eq. 17–56) becomes
(17–60)
Solving Eq. 17–60 for the temperature ratio T 2 /T 1 gives
(17–61)
Substituting this relation into Eq. 17–59 gives the density or velocity ratio as
(17–62)
Flow properties at sonic conditions are usually easy to determine, and thus
the critical state corresponding to Ma 1 serves as a convenient reference
point in compressible flow. Taking state 2 to be the sonic state (Ma 2 1, and
superscript * is used) and state 1 to be any state (no subscript), the property
relations in Eqs. 17–58, 17–61, and 17–62 reduce to (Fig. 17–56)
(17–63)
Similar relations can be obtained for dimensionless stagnation tempera-
ture and stagnation pressure as follows:
(17–64)
which simplifies to
