An ideal (non-viscous, incompressible) fluid flows through a horizontal pipe. The fluid density is 900 kg/m3. Initially, the pipe has a diameter of 0.7 cm and the fluid flows at a speed of 9 m/s at a pressure of 13,000 N/m2. Then, the pipe widens to a diameter of 2.1 cm. What is the speed of the fluid in the wider section of the pipe, in units of m/s

Air enters a gas turbine with two stages of compression and two stages of expansion at 100 kpa and 17°c. this system uses a regenerator as well as reheating and intercooling – the intercooler returns the air to the inlet temperature. the pressure ratio across each compressor is 4 ; 300 kj/kg of heat are added to the air in each combustion chamber; and the regenerator operates perfectly while increasing the temperature of the cold air by 20°c. determine the system’s thermal efficiency. assume isentropic operations for all compressor and the turbine stages and use constant specific heats at room temperature.
