Steam enters a diffuser steadily at 300 kPa and 300 °C having a velocity of 80 m/s. The
inlet diameter of the diffuser is 0.1 m and the velocity at the diffuser exit is very small
compared with the inlet velocity. The heat loss from the diffuser to the surroundings is at a
rate of 88 kW. If the exit pressure is 800 kPa, determine the phase description and
temperature at the diffuser exit. Neglect the potential energy change throughout the diffuser.
O a. Superheated vapor / 300 °C
O b. Saturated vapor / 250 °C
O c. Saturated vapor / 170.41 °C
O d. Superheated vapor / 250 °C
O e. Mixture / 170.41 °C
