Question: Air enters a diffuser operating at steady state at 540R, 15 lbf/in. 2 , with a velocity of 600 ft/s, and exits with a velocity

Air enters a diffuser operating at steady state at 540R, 15 lbf/in. 2 , with a velocity of 600 ft/s, and exits with a velocity of 60 ft/s. The ratio of the exit area to the inlet area is 6. Assuming the ideal gas model for the air and ignoring heat transfer, determine the pressure, in lbf/in.2, at the exit.
