A 1-m3 uninsulated tank contains air at 1 MPa, 560 K. The tank is now discharged through a small convergent nozzle to the atmosphere at 100 kPa while heat transfer from some source keeps the air temperature in the tank at 560 K. The nozzle has an exit area of2 x 10-5 m2.
Find the mass flow rate when half the mass has been discharged.
