1. Dry saturated steam at 3.

5bar is supplied to a convergent divergent nozzle whose that area is


4.4 cm2.the exit pressure is 1.1bar.determine maximum possible discharge through
nozzle/minute and area of the nozzle at exit when the flow is maximum assume the flow is
frictionless adiabatic.
2. Steam at a pressure of 15bar saturated is discharged through a convergent divergent nozzle to a
back pressure of 0.2 bar .the mass flow rate 9kg/kwhr. if the power developed is 220kw
determine number of nozzles required .if each nozzle has a throat of rectangular cross section of
4mm x 8mm .if 12% of overall isentropic enthalpy drop occurs in the divergent portion due to
friction. find the cross section of the exit rectangle
3. In an installation 5.2kg/s of steam 30bar and 350C is supplied to group of six nozzles in a wheel
diameter maintain at 4 bar determine
i) Dimensions of the nozzles of rectangular cross section flow area with aspect ratio 3:1 the
expression may be considered metastable
ii) Degree of undercooling & super saturation
iii) Loss in available heat drop due to irreversibility
iv) Increase in entropy
v) Ratio of mass flow rate
4. Supersaturated expansion occurs in a nozzle supplied with steam at 2MN/m2 and 3250C.The law
for the expansion may be taken as pV1.3= constant upto the exit pressure of 0.36 MN/m2 for a
flow rate of 450kg/min. determine (i) Throat and the exit area and (ii) Degree of undercooling at
the exit
5. Determine the throat and exit height of Delaval nozzle of discharge 27kg of a perfect gas/min.
The inlet and exit pressure are 480kpa and 138kpa respectively. Initial temperature of the gas is
535C nozzle efficiency is 90% friction lasses occur only after the throat .the molecular weight of
the gas is 29 and its adiabatic index=1.4 assume square cross section of the nozzle
