Steam steadily enters a nozzle at 180C and 1002.8 kPa with a velocity of 12 m/s and leaves at 300C and 8,000 kPa. For an inlet diameter of 0.5 and an outlet diameter of 0.2, determine the volume flow rate of the steam at the nozzle exit and the rate of heat loss (in kJ/s) from the system. A. What phase is the steam in as it enters the nozzle? B. What phase is the steam in as it exits the nozzle? C. What is the heat transfer (in kJ/s) during this process?
