Here, mass flow rate of steam is
Write the expression to calculate the velocity of sound through the steam at the exit of nozzle.
Here, pressure drop in the nozzle is
Write the expression to calculate the Mach number for the steam at the exit of nozzle.
Here, Mach number of the steam at the exit is
Conclusion:
Refer Table A-6, “Superheated water”, obtain the values of
Here, stagnation enthalpy at the inlet is
Refer Table A-6, “Superheated water”, obtain the final enthalpy and specific volume at an entropy of
The stagnation enthalpy of steam at the inlet is equal to the actual enthalpy
at the inlet
Substitute
Thus, the exit velocity of the stream is
Substitute
