Question: Steam ( 1 Mpa, 2 5 0 C ) flowing at the rate of 1 kg / s expands through a well - C insulated

Steam (1Mpa, 250C) flowing at the rate of 1kg/s expands through a well- C insulated nozzle to 10 kPa. Neglecting the velocity of the steam at the inlet of the nozzle. The steam exiting the nozzle is discharged to a condenser wherefrom it exits as saturated water. The condenser is a counter-flow heat exchanger cooled by cooling water whose inlet and exit temperatures are 25C and 35C. Show the expansion process within the nozzle on a T-s plot and determine the following:
(a) velocity of the steam at the nozzle exit
(b) exit area of the nozzle
(c) mass flow rate of the cooling water
