Answer

a) $\dot{V}_1=0.3079\ m³/s$ b) $\dot{m}=0.7318\ kg/s$ c) $\dot{V}_2=0.3654\ m³/s$, $\nu_2=5.94\ m/s$

Work Step by Step

At the inlet: $\dot{V}_1=A_c\nu_1=\frac{\pi}{4} D^2\nu_1$ With $D=0.28m,\ \nu_1=5\ m/s$ $\dot{V}_1=0.3079\ m³/s$ $\dot{m}=\rho_1\dot{V}_1=\frac{P_1}{RT_1}\dot{V}_1$ With $P_1=200\ kPa, R= 0.287\ kJ/kg.K,\ T_1=293\ K$: $\dot{m}=0.7318\ kg/s$ At the outlet: $\dot{m}=\rho_2\dot{V}_2=\frac{P_2}{RT_2}\dot{V}_2$ With $P_2=180\ kPa,\ T_2=313\ K$: $\dot{V}_2=0.3654\ m³/s$ $\dot{V}_2=A_c\nu_2=\frac{\pi}{4} D^2\nu_2$ $\nu_2=5.94\ m/s$
