Answer:
his is a multi-part question. Once an answer is submitted, you will be unable to return to this part. Air enters a nozzle steadily at 2.21 kg/m3 and 40 m/s and leaves at 0.762 kg/m3 and 192 m/s. The inlet area of the nozzle is 90 cm2.
determine (a) the mass flow rate through the nozzle, and (b) the exit area of the nozzle.
a)0.7956kg/s
b)5.437 × 10⁻³m²
Explanation:
The concepts related to the change of mass flow for both entry and exit is applied
The general formula is defined by
[tex]\dot{m}=\rho A V[/tex]
Where,
[tex]\dot{m} = mass flow rate\\\rho = Density\\V = Velocity[/tex]
values are divided by inlet(1) and outlet(2) by
[tex]\rho_1 = 2.21kg/m^3V_1 = 40m/s[/tex]
[tex]A_1 = 90*10^{-4}m^2\\\rho_2 = 0.762kg/m^3\\V_2 = 192m/s[/tex]
PART A) Applying the flow equation
[tex]\dot{m} = \rho_1 A_1 V_1\\\dot{m} = (2.21)(90*10^{-4})(40)\\\dot{m} = 0.7956kg/s[/tex]
PART B) For the exit area we need to arrange the equation in function of Area, that is
[tex]A_2 = \frac{\dot{m}}{\rho_2 V_2}\\A_2 = \frac{0.7956}{(0.762)(192)}\\A_2 = 5.437*10^{-3}m^2[/tex]
