Helium at 68 °F and 14.7 psia in a large tank flows steadily and isentropically through a converging nozzle to a receiver pipe. The cross-sectional area of the throat of the converging passage is 0.05 ft2. Determine the mass flowrate through the duct if the receiver pressure is
(a) 10 psia,
(b) 5 psia. Sketch temperature-entropy diagrams for situations (a) and (b).
