A convergent-divergent nozzle with adiabatic walls is designed for an exit Mach number of 2.3. It is discharging air to the atmosphere under the conditions indicated in the figure.
Flow through the nozzle is inviscid, the characteristic gas constant for air is 287 J/(kg-K), and γ = 1.4. When the reservoir pressure is 25 bar (absolute), and temperature is 300 K, Prandtl-Meyer expansion waves appear at the nozzle exit as shown.
The minimum percentage change in the reservoir pressure required to eliminate the wave system at the nozzle exit under steady-state is _______ %.
