You are analyzing a nozzle. Before entering the nozzle, the air flow has a stagnation pressure of 303 kPa, a stagnation temperature of 800. K. At the exit, the pressure is 80.0 kPa and the flow is traveling at a speed of 694 m/s. Assuming the flow in the nozzle is reversible, was it also adiabatic? Show the process on a T-s diagram. What is the efficiency of this nozzle (n)? Keeping in mind the purpose of a nozzle and how it operates, explain in your implications why the nozzle efficiency is not the Carnot efficiency.
