A 75 mm diameter duct is connected to a tank by a converging device. The converging device is thermally insulated but the duct is not. Friction effects can be neglected throughout the process. The pressure and temperature in the tank are 4.8 bar and 320 K, respectively. The duct discharges to the atmosphere at 101.325 kPa and heat is added in the process at a rate of 335 kJ/kg. Assuming
perfect gas behavior, do the following:
a. Determine the Mach number, velocity, in m/s, temperature, in K, and pressure, in kPa, at the inlet of the constant area duct.
b. Determine the Mach number, temperature, in K, velocity, in m/s, and pressure, in kPa, at the outlet of the constant area duct.
c. Determine the mass flow rate of air [kg/s]
