Helium at 200 kPa, 227 C is expanded in steady flow through a nozzle to 100 kPa. At these operating conditions the nozzle efficiency is 76%.

a) Making the usual nozzle assumptions, calculate the actual velocity at the nozzle exit. Start with the appropriate form of the first law.

b) Calculate the actual nozzle exit temperature.

Air is supplied to a convergent–divergent nozzle from a reservoir where the pressure is 100 kPa. The air is then discharged through a short pipe into another reservoir where the pressure can be varied. The cross-sectional area of the pipe is twice the area of the throat of the nozzle. Friction and heat transfer may be neglected throughout the flow. If the discharge pipe has constant cross-sectional area, determine the range of static pressure in the pipe for which a...
