644 Chapter 11 ■ Compressible Flow<br />

11.79 Estimate the surface temperature associated with the reentry<br />

of the Space Shuttle into the earth’s atmosphere. Why is<br />

knowing this important?<br />

11.80 [See Fluids in the News article titled “Hilsch tube (Ranque<br />

vortex tube),” Section 11.1.] Explain why a Hilsch tube works and<br />

cite some high and low gas temperatures actually achieved. What<br />

is the most important limitation of a Hilsch tube and how can it be<br />

overcome?<br />

11.81 [See Fluids in the News article titled “Supersonic and compressible<br />

flows in gas turbines,” Section 11.3.] Using typical physical<br />

dimensions and rotation speeds of manufactured gas turbine<br />

rotors, consider the possibility that supersonic <strong>fluid</strong> velocities<br />

relative to blade surfaces are possible. How do designers use this<br />

knowledge?<br />

11.82 Develop useful equations describing the constant temperature<br />

1isothermal2 flow of an ideal gas through a constant<br />

cross section area pipe. What important practical flow situations<br />

would these equations be useful for? How are real gas effects<br />

estimated?<br />
