  1. The density of air in kg/m³ at the nozzle exit is
    1. 0.560
    2. 0.600
    3. 0.727
    4. 0.800
Correct Option: C

Given: T1 = 400 K, P1 = 300 kPa,
P2 = 50 kPa, R = 0.289 kJ/kgK
v = 1.4, A2 = 0.005 m²
Process from entrance to exit is isentropic process, therefore

T1
=
P2
γ-1/γ

⇒ t2 = 400

0.4/1.4 = 239.5 K
P1

From the perfect gas equation,
ρ =
P
RT

ρ2 =
