2. Nitrogen, modeled as an ideal gas flows at a rate of 3 kg/s through a well-insulated horizontal nozzle operating at steady state. The nitrogen enters the nozzle with a velocity of 20 m/s at 340 K, 400 kPa and exits the nozzle at 100 kPa. To achieve an exit velocity of 478.8 m/s, determine (a) the exit temperature in K, and (b) the exit area, in m2.

Amixture of slurry and mud is to be pumped through a horizontal pipe of diameter 500 mm. the fluid behaves as a bingham plastic with a yield stress of 30 pa and viscosity 0.04 pa.s. describe the effects of the shear stress through a transverse section of the pipe by plotting the variation in shear stress and velocity profile: (i) just before the slurry starts to move (ii) as the slurry flows when the pressure gradient is double that in part (i)
