Question: Nitrogen gas enters a diffuser at 2 0 0 kPa and 3 0 0 deg C with a velocity of 3 5 0 m

Nitrogen gas enters a diffuser at 200 kPa and 300\deg C with a velocity of 350 m/s,
and leaves at 150 kPa and 25 m/s. It is estimated that 20 kJ/kg of heat is lost from
the diffuser to the surroundings at 100 kPa and 27\deg C. The exit area of the diffuser
is 0.06 m2. Determine (a) the exit temperature, (b) the rate of exergy destruction,
and (c) the second-law efficiency of the diffuser.
[For Nitrogen, take R=0.297 kJ/kg.K, Cp =1.04 kJ/kg.K]
