How to calculate the sonic velocity of a gas stream?



How to calculate the sonic velocity of a gas stream?..

Answer / priyankar talukdar

V sonic,G = SQRT(κ*R*T/MWG)
is the sonic velocity if only gas is present (presence of liquid ignored)[m/s]
where:
R is the gas constant (8314 J/kmol/K)
T is the absolute temperature
κ is the ratio of the specific heats (Cp/Cv)=1.4 for most of diatomic gases
MWG is the mean molecular weight of the gas phase

DIFFERENTIAL EQUATIONS - EXAMPLE 20.3 : A differential equation is given as y” + 5y’ + 6y = 0, y(0) = 2 and y’(0) = 3. By using Laplace transform, an engineer has correctly produced the equation L {y} = (2s + 13) / [(s + 2)(s + 3)] = A / (s + 2) + B (s + 3). (a) Find the values of A and B. (b) The inversed Laplace transform of 1 / (s + a) is given by exp (-at) where a is a constant. If the statement : L {y} = 9 L { exp (-2t) } - 7 L { exp (-3t) } is correct, find the equation of y as a function of t as a solution to the differential equation stated in the beginning of this question. When L {d} = 9 L {b} - 7 L {c}, then d = 9b - 7c with b, c and d are unknowns.
