Air passes through a jet engine nozzle operating at steady state. The flow at the nozzle inlet has a temperature of 900° F. The nozzle inlet has an area of 5 ft2. The flow at the nozzle outlet has a temperature of 875° F, a specific volume of 90 ft3/lb, and a velocity of 600 ft/s. The nozzle outlet has an area of 2 ft2. Model the air as an ideal gas with constant specific heats. Evaluate the specific heats at 900° F. Assume the nozzle is well insulated and neglect potential energy changes. Determine the velocity in ft/s and specific volume in ft3/lb of the flow at the inlet.
