Impact of Temperature on a Compressor-Burner-Nozzle System"

AI Thread Summary
In a compressor-burner-nozzle system, increasing temperature behind a choked compressor affects the mass flow rate. When the system is choked, the mass flow rate is limited and does not increase with pressure changes. An increase in temperature typically decreases the density of the gas, which can lead to a reduction in mass flow rate. The discussion also hints at further inquiries regarding the system's dynamics, indicating a potential for more complex questions. The request to move the topic to the aerospace section suggests relevance to aerospace applications.

Okay, say we have an electric fan that is used as a compressor, and behind that is the main burner, and behind that is a constricting divergent-divergent nozzle. Say that the pressure and temperature behind the compressor is such that it is choked, meaning the mass rate cannot be increased. Now what if the temperature were to increase. What would happen? Would the mass rate go down or would it stay the same?

Plus this might not be my only question about this.

Thread 'Query on Isentropic relationships (such as PV^gamma = constant)'

Hi all, I have a question. So from the derivation of the Isentropic process relationship PV^gamma = constant, there is a step dW = PdV, which can only be said for quasi-equilibrium (or reversible) processes. As such I believe PV^gamma = constant (and the family of equations) should not be applicable to just adiabatic processes? Ie, it should be applicable only for adiabatic + reversible = isentropic processes? However, I've seen couple of online notes/books, and...

Thread 'Dry sump pump issue'

I have an engine that uses a dry sump oiling system. The oil collection pan has three AN fittings to use for scavenging. Two of the fittings are approximately on the same level, the third is about 1/2 to 3/4 inch higher than the other two. The system ran for years with no problem using a three stage pump (one pressure and two scavenge stages). The two scavenge stages were connected at times to any two of the three AN fittings on the tank. Recently I tried an upgrade to a four stage pump...
