Which of the following is NOT one of these assumptions?

The equation:



is frequently applied to a nozzle. Several assumptions are incorporated into the derivation of this equation. Which of the following is NOT one of these assumptions?

A. The system is operating at steady state.

B. The system is adiabatic.

C. The potential energies of the entering and exiting streams are equal to each other.

D. The velocity of the entering stream is negligible.

E. All of the above are necessary assumptions for the derivation of this equation.


A. Incorrect. If the system were not at steady state, time derivatives or differences would appear.
B. Incorrect. If the system were not adiabatic, a heat term (Qor Q ?) would appear.
C. Incorrect. If potential energies were significantly different, this would be a huge nozzle and we would see terms incorporating
gravitational acceleration.
D. Incorrect. There is no v_in^2 term present.
E. Correct.

With the ignition off and the key out of the ignition, what should happen if a technician uses a screwdriver to gently push on the throttle plate in an attempt to open the valve?

A) The throttle should move, and then spring back to the home position when released. B) The throttle should move closed, but not open further than the default position. C) Nothing. The throttle should be kept from moving by the motor, which is not energized with the key off. D) The throttle should move and stay where it is moved and not go back unless moved back.
