 Problem \#5) (20 points) Air flows steadily through a diverging diffuser.

Problem \#5) (20 points) Air flows steadily through a diverging diffuser. The inlet area of the diffuser is 0.01m2, and the mass flow rate of air into the diffuser is 3.0kg/s. The pressure and temperature of the air as it enters the diffuser are 300KPa and 100C. The air leave the diffuser with a velocity that is very low compared with the inlet velocity. Determine the temperature of the air leaving the diffuser, assuming the diffuser to be will-insulated. (For air: Cp=1.01kJ/kgK at 373K )
