Answer

a) $\nu_2=409.9\ m/s$ b) $A_1/A_2=15.65$

Work Step by Step

From table A-13: Inlet (700 kPa, 120°C): $v_1=0.043358\ m³/kg,\ h_1=358.92\ kJ/kg$ Outlet (400kPa, 30°C): $v_2=0.056796\ m³/kg,\ h_2=275.09\ kJ/kg$ From the energy balance: $\dot{m}(h_1+\nu_1^2/2)=\dot{m}(h_2+\nu_2^2/2)$ With $\nu_1=20\ m/s$: $\nu_2=409.9\ m/s$ From the material balance: $\frac{A_1\nu_1}{v_1}=\frac{A_2\nu_2}{v_2}$ $A_1/A_2=15.65$
