Answer

a) $T_2=436.5\ K$ b) $P_2=331\ kPa$

Work Step by Step

The energy balance for the system: $\dot{E}_{in}=\dot{E}_{out}$ $\dot{m}(h_1+\nu_1^2)=\dot{m}(h_2+\nu_2^2)$ Given $h_1=503.02 kJ/kg\ @(600kPa,500K),\ \nu_1=120\ m/s,\ \nu_2=380\ m/s$: and solving for the outlet enthalpy: $h_2=438.02\ kJ/kg$ From Table A-17: $T_2=436.5\ K$ For ideal gases: $P\dot{V}=\dot{m}RT\rightarrow \frac{P_1}{T_1}A_1\nu_1= \frac{P_2}{T_2}A_2\nu_2$ With $A_1/A_2=2$ and solving for the outlet pressure: $P_2=331\ kPa$
