Air enters a diffuser operating at steady state at 540°R, 15 lbf/in.2, with a velocity of 600 ft/s, and exits with a velocity of

60 ft/s. The ratio of the exit area to the inlet area is 8. Assume that The air is the ideal gas model for the air and ignoring heat transfer, determine

Answer: Hello the question is incomplete below is the missing part

Question: determine the temperature, in °R, at the exit

answer:

T2= 569.62°R

Explanation:

T1 = 540°R

V2 = 600 ft/s

V1 = 60 ft/s

h1 = 129.0613 ( value gotten from Ideal gas property-air table )

<em>first step : calculate the value of h2 using the equation below </em>

assuming no work is done ( potential energy is ignored )

h2 = [ h1 + ( V2^2 - V1^2 ) / 2 ] * 1 / 32.2 * 1 / 778

∴ h2 = 136.17 Btu/Ibm

From Table A-17

we will apply interpolation
