A pressurized mixture of nitrogen and argon is supplied to a directional control nozzle on a space
Question:
A pressurized mixture of nitrogen and argon is supplied to a directional control nozzle on a space satellite. Plot the gas velocity at the nozzle exit as a function of the argon mass fraction with fixed pressure and temperature at the entrance and pressure at the exit. The force produced by this nozzle is proportional to the product of the mass flow rate and velocity at the exit. Is there an optimal argon mass fraction that produces the greatest force?
Step by Step Answer:
Yes there is an optimal arg on mass fraction that produces t...View the full answer

In Physics, a force is an influence that can change the motion of an object. A force can cause an object with mass to change its velocity, i.e., to accelerate. Force can also be described intuitively as a push or a pull. A force has both magnitude and direction, making it a vector quantity. In this video, the concept of force and torque is demonstrated with the practical application of changing the flat tire of the car.
