Answer

a) $T_2=507°R$ b) $A_2=0.048\ ft²$

Work Step by Step

The energy balance for the system: $\dot{e}_{in}=\dot{e}_{out}$ $h_1+\nu_1^2/2=\dot{q}+h_2+\nu_2^2/2$ From Table A-17E (50psia, 140°F): $h_1=143.47\ Btu/lbm$ $\nu_1=150\ ft/s,\ \nu_2=900\ ft/s,\ \dot{q}=6.5\ Btu/lbm$ Hence $h_2=121.2\ Btu/lbm$ Back to Table A-17E: $T_2=507°R$ From the material balance: $\frac{P_1}{RT_1}A_1\nu_1=\frac{P_2}{RT_2}A_2\nu_2$ With $P_2=14.7\ psia, A_1=0.1\ ft²$ $A_2=0.048\ ft²$
