Steam enters an adiabatic nozzle at 2.5 MPa and 450oC with a velocity of 55 m/s and exits at 1 MPa and 390 m/s. If the nozzle has an inlet area of 6 cm2, determine (a) the exit temperature.

Answer:

The value of exit temperature from the nozzle = 719.02 K

Explanation:

Temperature at inlet [tex]T_{1}[/tex] = 450°c = 723 K

Velocity at inlet [tex]V_{1}[/tex] = 55 [tex]\frac{m}{sec}[/tex]

velocity at outlet [tex]V_{2}[/tex] = 390 [tex]\frac{m}{sec}[/tex]

Specific heat at constant pressure for steam  [tex]C_{p} = 18723 \frac{J}{kg k}[/tex]

Apply steady flow energy equation for the nozzle

[tex]h_{1} + \frac{V_{1} ^{2} }{2} = h_{2} + \frac{V_{2} ^{2} }{2}[/tex]

[tex]C_{p} T_{1} + \frac{V_{1} ^{2} }{2} = C_{p} T_{2} + \frac{V_{2} ^{2} }{2}[/tex]

Put all the values in the above formula we get,

⇒ 18723 × 723 + [tex]\frac{55^{2} }{2}[/tex] = [tex]C_{p}[/tex] [tex]T_{2}[/tex] + [tex]\frac{390^{2} }{2}[/tex]

⇒   [tex]T_{2}[/tex] = 719.02 K

This is the value of exit temperature from the nozzle.
