Acompressor compresses a gas, a pump compresses a liquid. for a given pressure ratio, why does it take more work to compress a gas in a compressor than a liquid in a pump? a)- for a given pressure ratio the average specific volume for a gas is much higher than the average specific volume for a liquid. b)- there is no difference. the only difference is the amount of heat generated (not work) c)- for a given pressure ratio the average volurge for a gas is much higher than the average volume for a liquid. d)-there is no difference

Steam enters a converging-diverging nozzle at 1.0 mpa and 500°c with a negligible velocity at a mass flow rate of 2.5 kg/s, and it exits at a pressure of 200 kpa. assuming the flow through the nozzle to be isentropic, determine: the exit area and (a) (b) the exit mach number
