Steam Nozzle Exit Velocity Calculation

The document presents a series of fluid mechanics problems involving the flow of steam, air, and water through nozzles, compressors, and pipes, requiring calculations of exit velocities, mass flow rates, and volume flow rates. Each problem specifies conditions such as pressure, temperature, and velocity at various points in the system. The scenarios assume steady-state flow and ideal gas behavior where applicable.

1. Steam enters a nozzle at 400 kPa and 200°C with a velocity of 10 m/s.

The inlet area of the


nozzle is 0.05 m2. The steam exits the nozzle at 200 kPa and 150°C. Assuming steady-state flow,
determine the exit velocity of the steam if the exit area is 0.01 m2.

2. Air enters an air compressor steadily through a 15 cm diameter inlet at 100 kPa and 20°C
with an average velocity of 5 m/s. The air leaves the compressor through a 5 cm diameter
outlet at 800 kPa and 150°C.

Assuming air behaves as an ideal gas, determine: a) The mass flow rate of air through the
compressor. b) The average velocity of air at the compressor exit.

3. Water flows steadily through a horizontal pipe. At section 1, the pipe has a diameter of 10 cm,
and the water velocity is 2 m/s. At section 2, the pipe diameter reduces to 5 cm. Assuming water
is incompressible, determine:
a) The volume flow rate of water. b) The velocity of water at section 2.
4. An empty rigid tank with a volume of 5 m3 is to be filled with air from a supply line. Air enters
the tank through a 2 cm diameter pipe at a velocity of 20 m/s. The air in the line is at 500 kPa
and 50°C. Assuming air behaves as an ideal gas, determine: a) The mass flow rate of air into the
tank. b) The time it takes to fill the tank to a final pressure of 500 kPa and a final temperature of
50°C.
5. Two streams of an ideal gas (with R=0.287 kPa⋅m3/(kg⋅K)) are mixed in an adiabatic mixing
chamber. Stream 1: Enters through a 10 cm diameter pipe at 300 kPa, 50°C, and a velocity of 15
m/s. Stream 2: Enters through an 8 cm diameter pipe at 300 kPa, 100°C, and a velocity of 20
m/s. The mixture exits the chamber through a single 15 cm diameter pipe at 280 kPa. Assuming
steady-state operation, determine: a) The mass flow rate of each inlet stream. b) The velocity of
the mixture at the exit.
