Question: c ) The nozzle in a jet engine is designed to increase the kinetic energy of the air flows entering the jet turbine engine section

c) The nozzle in a jet engine is designed to increase the kinetic energy of the air flows entering the jet turbine engine section as shown in Figure Q2b. At the initial stage, the air entering the nozzle without any work or heat interaction with velocity of 25ms, pressure 2.1 MPa and temperature 510 K and exit at 1.3 MPa and temperature 500 K . Then the air enters an adiabatic turbine engine stage and leaves the turbine section at 100 kPa and temperature 127C through 0.5m2. The mass flow rate of the air is 80kgs. Determine:
(Note: Take h=cp(T); where cp is calculated at Tavg)
i. The exit velocity of a nozzle (in ms)
ii. The specific volume at the turbine inlet and outlet (in m3kg)
iii. The change in kinetic energy in the turbine (in m2s) and
iv. The power produce by the turbine (in KW)
m=80kgs
