Water vapor goes into a diffuser at steady state, with inlet conditions of 800 kPa, 200°C and velocity of 400 m/s. Superheated steam leaves the outlet at 2 MPa and velocity of
2
100 m/s. The inlet area of the diffuser is 14 cm . The system loses
heat at the rate of 25 kJ/s
to the surroundings. Neglect changes in potential energy between the inlet and outlet.
What is the mass flow rate of the water vapor, in kg/s?
What is the specific enthalpy of superheated steam leaving the diffuser, in kJ/kg?
Estimate the temperature of the superheated steam at the outlet, in °C.
(No linear interpolation, just give the nearest temperature value).
