PROBLEM 01:
Dry saturated steam at 5 bar with negligible velocity expands in a
convergent nozzle to 1 bar and dryness fraction 0.94. Determine the
velocity of steam leaving the nozzle. 1
Given Data: 2
@ state 1; Dry saturated; 𝐏𝟏 = 𝟓 𝐛𝐚𝐫; 𝐂𝟏 = 𝟎
@ state 2; 𝐏𝟐 = 𝟏 𝐛𝐚𝐫; 𝐱 𝟐 = 𝟎. 𝟗𝟒: wet
To find:
Velocity of steam leaving the nozzle ( 𝐂𝟐 ) =?

𝐶2 = 2000(ℎ1 − ℎ2 )
𝐶2 = 2000(2740 − 2540 )
𝐶2 = 632.45 𝑚Τ𝑠
Answer
Velocity of Steam leaving the Nozzle 𝐶2 = 632.45 𝑚/𝑠
