Determine final temperature and mass flow rate


Water vapor (an ideal gas) enters a diffuser (expansion device) at a pressyre of 0.70 bar, a termperature of 160 C, and a velocity of 180 m/s. The inlet to the diffuser is 100 cm^2. During passage through the diffuser the fluid velocity is reduced to 60 m/s, the pressure increases to 1.0 bars, and 0.60 J/g of heat are transferred to the surroundings (i.e. out of the diffuser). The enthalpy of water vapor can be estimated by: h = 2501 + Cp*T (units= kJ/kg, where Cp= 1.805 kJ/kg-C and T=water vapor temperature in C.) Determine (a) the final temperature, (b) the mass flow rate, and (c) the outlet area of the diffuser in cm^2.
