Air having a mass flow rate of 2 kg/s enters a diffuser at 100 kPa and 30°C, with a velocity of 200 m/s. Exit area of the diffuser is 400 cm² while the exit temperature of the air is 45°C. The rate of heat loss from the diffuser to the surrounding is 8 kJ/s. The pressure at the diffuser exit is __________ kPa (2 decimal places).
For air, the characteristic gas constant is 287 J/(kgK) and specific heat capacity at constant pressure is 1005 J/(kgK). Assume air to be an ideal gas and the flow in the diffuser is steady.
