Answer

$V_2=255\ m³$ $W_b=18000\ kJ$

Work Step by Step

For an ideal gas: $Pv=RT$ Given $P_i=P_e=100\ kPa,\ T_i=T_e=35°C,\ R=0.287\ kJ/kg.K$: $v_i=v_e=0.8840\ m³/kg$ For the mass flowrates: $\dot{m}=\frac{A\mathcal{V}}{v}$ Given $A_i=1\ m²,\ \mathcal{V}_i=2\ m/s,\ A_e=0.5\ m²,\ \mathcal{V}_e=1\ m/s$: $\dot{m}_i=2.262\ kg/s$ $\dot{m}_e=0.566\ kg/s$ For a time period of 2 min: $\Delta m=\Delta t(m_i-m_e)$ $\Delta m=203.6\ kg$ $\Delta V=v\Delta m$ $\Delta V=180\ m³$ Hence given $V_1=75\ m³$: $V_2=255\ m³$ For a constant pressure: $W_b=P\Delta V$ $W_b=18000\ kJ$
