4. Which of the following is not true for steam flow through nozzle?
(a) the gain in kinetic energy of steam is only due to change in potential energy
(b) the steam loses its pressure and gains heat while passing through nozzle
(c) the work done is equal to the adiabatic heat drop
(d) the flow is assumed to be adiabatic
10. The supersaturated flow of steam through a nozzle as compared to a stable flow, the
mass flow rate
(a) remains the same
(b) increases
(c) decreases
(d) is unpredictable
Solution:
T2= 644.39 K
Specific volume of air @ throat section
𝑅×𝑇2 287×644.39
𝑉2 = = = 0.09866 m3/kg
𝑃2 18.5×1.01325×105
Velocity of air @ throat
C2= √2(ℎ1− ℎ2 )
C2= √2 × 𝐶𝑝 × (𝑇1− 𝑇2 )
0.09866×1.3
A2 = = 252.11 mm2
