A convergent nozzle fed from a constant pressure, constant temperature reservoir, is discharging air to atmosphere at 1 bar (absolute) with choked flow at the exit (marked as Q). Flow through the nozzle can be assumed to be isentropic. If the exit area of the nozzle is increased while all the reservoir parameters and ambient conditions remain the same, then at steady state
