Question 19
Open questionXE-ENAT2 marksNeeds review
Superheated steam at 2 bar and 300 °C, with an enthalpy of 3072.1 kJ/kg, enters a horizontal adiabatic nozzle with negligible velocity and leaves at 0.2 bar as saturated vapour with an enthalpy of 2609.9 kJ/kg. Assuming steady flow and neglecting the potential energy changes, the exit velocity (in m/s) of the steam (up to 1 decimal place) is __________.
