Nitrogen flows from a large tank, through a convergent nozzle of 2-in. tip diameter, into the atmosphere.

Question:

Nitrogen flows from a large tank, through a convergent nozzle of 2-in. tip diameter, into the atmosphere. The temperature in the tank is \(200^{\circ} \mathrm{F}\). Calculate pressure, velocity, temperature, and sonic velocity in the jet, and calculate the flow rate when the tank pressure is

(a) 30 psia 

(b) 25 psia. Barometric pressure is 15.0 psia. What is the lowest tank pressure that will produce sonic velocity in the jet? What is this velocity, and what is the flowrate?
