Question

Steam at 3 MPa and 4008C enters an adiabatic nozzle steadily with a velocity of 40 m/s and leaves at 2.5 MPa and 300 m/s. Determine (a) the exit temperature and (b) the ratio of the inlet to exit area A1/A2

Solution

Step 1 of 5

Steam is accelerated in a nozzle from a velocity of  to . The exit temperature and the ratio of the inlet-to-exit area of the nozzle are to be determined.

Assumptions are

1. This is a steady-flow process since there is no change with time.

2. Potential energy changes are negligible.

3. There are no work interactions.

 4. The device is adiabatic and thus heat transfer is negligible.
