Air enters a nozzle steadily at 50 psia, 160Â°F, and 155 ft/s and leaves at 14.7 psia and 900 ft/s. The heat transfer from the nozzle to surrounding air is estimated to be 6.0 Btu/lb of air flowing. The inlet area of the nozzle is 0.15 ft2. Based on the given information:

a) State significant assumptions for the system

b) Determine the mass flow rate of air, in lb/s.

c) Determine the exit temperature of the air, in ^oF.

d) Determine the exit area of the nozzle, in ft^2
