An afterburner in a jet engine adds fuel after the turbine, thus raising the pressure and temperature

Question:

An afterburner in a jet engine adds fuel after the turbine, thus raising the pressure and temperature due to the energy of combustion. Assume a standard condition of 800 K, 250 kPa, after the turbine into the nozzle that exhausts at 95 kPa. Assume the afterburner adds 450 kJ/kg to that state, with a rise in pressure for the same specific volume, and neglect any upstream effects on the turbine. Find the nozzle exit velocity before and after the afterburner is turned on.
