Air flows from a 10 cm pipe in which the temperature and pressure are 4-C and 280 kPa, respectively, into a 5 cm pipe in which the pressure is 147 kPa gage. Calculate the velocity and discharge in each pipe, assuming isothermal conditions, standard atmospheric pressure and no losses. The gas constant for air is 287 N-m/kg-K.
