Step: 1
Given data
The density at the inlet of the nozzle
The velocity at the inlet is
The inlet area
The density at the outlet of the nozzle
The velocity at the outlet is
Step: 2
(a)
The mass flow rate
Step: 3
(b) The exit area of the nozzle
Since the process is steady mass flow rate remains constant in the nozzle, the exit area can be determined as
