Question: An incompressible fluid (constant density) flows steadily through a converging nozzle. (a) Show that the specific flow energy remains constant if the nozzle is adiabatic.

An incompressible fluid (constant density) flows steadily through a converging nozzle.
(a) Show that the specific flow energy remains constant if the nozzle is adiabatic.
(b) Assuming internal energy remains constant and neglecting the inlet kinetic energy, obtain an expression for the exit velocity in terms of pressures at the inlet and exit and the fluid density.
(c) For an inlet pressure of 300 kPa and exit pressure of 100 kPa, determine the exit velocity for a water nozzle.
