At steady state, air at 200 kPa, 325 K, and mass flow rate of 0.5 kg/s enters an insulated duct having differing inlet and exit cross-sectional areas. The inlet cross-sectional area is 6 cm 2 . At the duct exit, the pressure of the air is 100 kPa and the velocity is 250 m/s. Neglecting potential energy effects and modeling air as an ideal gas with constant cp=1.008 kJ/kg K, determine
a) the velocity of the air at the inlet, in m/s.
b) the temperature of the air at the exit, in K.
c) the exit cross-sectional area, in cm^2
