Problem 4.31
Steam enters a nozzle operating at steady state at 20 bar,
280C, with a velocity of 80 m/s. The exit pressure and
temperature are 7 bar and 180C, respectively. The mass
flow rate is 1.5 kg/s. Neglecting heat transfer and potential
energy, determine
(a) the exit velocity, in m/s.
(b) the inlet and exit flow areas, in cm2.

Problem 4.53
Air enters a compressor operating at steady state at 1.05
bar, 300 K, with a volumetric flow rate of 12 m3/min and
exits at 12 bar, 400 K. Heat transfer occurs at a rate of 2
kW from the compressor to its surroundings. Assuming
the ideal gas model for air and neglecting kinetic and
potential energy effects, determine the power input, in
kW.
