Air enters a nozzle steadily at 2.21 kg/m3 and 40 m/s and leaves at 0.752 kg/m3 and 180 m/s. If the inlet area of the nozzle is 90 cm2, determine (a) the mass flow rate through the nozzle, and (b) the exit area of the nozzle.

(a) 0.796 kg/s,
(b) 58 cm2

Answer

Given,

Air enter density, ρ₁ = 2.21 kg/m³

speed of entry, v₁ = 40 m/s

Air exit density , ρ₂ = 0.752 kg/m³

speed of exit, v₂ = 180 m/s

Inlet area = 90 cm²

a) mass flow rate through nozzle.

            m = 0.796 kg/s

b) exit area

  Using continuity equation

Exit area of nozzle is equal to
