Answer

In this question, steady state is given so d$m_{in}$/dt=d$m_{out}$/dt Now, we need to find, (specific volume)$v_{1}$=$v_{f}$(approx at 20 degree C) = 1.0018/$10^{3}$ ($m^{3}$/kg) now , we know that mass flow rate is given by ( Area * velocity)/(specific volume) here D=0.02m and velocity is 40 m/sec . and specific volume is same as calculated above. so we get mass flow rate = 12.54 kg/sec. on comparing mass flow rate at both ends $A_{1}$$v_{1}$= $A_{2}$$v_{2}$ and diameter at exit is 0.04 m. so on solvinng we get , $v_{2}$=10 m/sec.
