A critical nozzle is used for the accurate measurement of the flow rate of air. Exhaust from a car engine is diluted with air, so its temperature is 50?C at a total pressure of 100 kPa. It flows through the nozzle with a throat area of 700 mm2 by suction from a blower. Find the needed suction pressure that will lead to critical flow in the nozzle, the mass flow rate, and the blower work, assuming the blower exit is at atmospheric pressure, 100 kPa.
