Question: 3 - 2 0 ) Superheated steam enters a nozzle that has an inlet diameter that measures 2 . 5 cm and an outlet diameter

3-20) Superheated steam enters a nozzle that has an inlet diameter that measures 2.5 cm and an
outlet diameter that measures 1 cm. Its outlet velocity has been measured at 30 m/s. The steam that
enters the nozzle is at 650\deg C and 1350 kPa and the steam that exits the nozzle is at 400\deg C and 100
kPa. Assume steady state.
A) Determine the velocity of the steam upon entering the nozzle.
B) Determine the rate at which this process gains or loses heat.
C) In modeling a nozzle, it is common to assume the nozzle is adiabatic, and that the velocity
entering the nozzle is negligible. Do your answers in this case seem consistent or inconsistent with
those common assumptions?
