Question: A converging - diverging nozzle is to be designed where ideal gas air enters at a velocity, temperature and pressure of 5 0 m s

A converging-diverging nozzle is to be designed where ideal gas air enters at a velocity, temperature and pressure of 50ms,15C, and 1083kPa, respectively. To achieve a certain thrust, it was determined that 2.8kgs of air must exit the nozzle at a speed of 490ms. Typical nozzles of this design have an isentropic efficiency of 69%. For the following analysis, assume the cold-air-standard assumption, where k=1.4 and cp=1.005kJkg*K. The enthalpy at the reference temperature of 25C can be taken to be 298.33kJkg. We define the isentropic efficiency of a nozzle as the kinetic energy exiting the real nozzle compared to the kinetic energy of an isentropic nozzle having the same exit pressure. The requested answers for your analysis should agree with the units indicated (e.g. for Part (a), since the unit is kJkg, it should be understood that the requested information is specific enthalpy, even though the word "specific" is not used.).
a. The static and stagnation enthalpies of the incoming air are kJkg and
kJkg, respectively.
b. The stagnation temperature of the incoming air is
C.
c. The stagnation pressure of the incoming air is kPa.
d. The kinetic energy of the exiting air is kJkg.
If the nozzle was isentropic,
 A converging-diverging nozzle is to be designed where ideal gas air
