Nitrogen, traveling at 12 m/s with a pressure of 14 bar abs. at a temperature of 800 K, enters a device with an area of 0.05 m2 . No work or heat transfer takes place. The temperature at the exit, where the area is 0.15 m2 , has dropped to 590 K. What are (a) the velocity and (b) pressure at the outlet section?
