At steady state, air at 200 kPa, 380 K, and mass flow rate of 0.5 kg/s enters an insulated duct having differing inlet and exit cross- sectional areas. The inlet cross-sectional area is 6 cm. At the duct exit, the pressure of the air is 100 kPa and the velocity is 250 m/s. Neglecting potential energy effects and modeling air as an ideal gas with constant cp = 1.008 kJ/kg K, determine: (a) the velocity of the air at the inlet, in m/s. (b) the temperature of the air at the exit, in K. (c) the exit cross-sectional area, in cm.
