Air enters an uninsulated nozzle at 5 m/s, 500 kPa, and 50°C. The cross-sectional area of the inlet is 0.0002 m2. The air exits at a velocity of 120 m/s and a temperature of 48°C. Determine the heat transfer rate for the nozzle.

Given: Air, P1 = 500 kPa; T1 = 50°C = 323 K; V1 = 5 m/s; A1 = 0.0002 m2; V2 = 120 m/s; T2 = 48°C = 321 K What will be an ideal response?
