Air enters the turbine of a jet engine at 1190 K, 10.8 bar and expands to 5.2 bar. The air then flows through a nozzle and exits at 0.8 bar. Operation is at steady state, and the flow is adiabatic. The nozzle operates with no internal irreversibilities, and the isentropic turbine efficiency is 85%. The air velocities at the turbine inlet and exit are negligible. Assuming the ideal gas model for the air, determine the velocity of the air exiting the nozzle, in m/s.

The us government wants to allocate billions of dollars in the next 10 years to assure our future energy security. the funds will be spread among a variety of possible energy resources. where do you think the government should put the greatest support: solar energy, wind energy, clean coal, oil exploration, gas exploration, or a combination of sources? are there other efforts that should be explored? support your position with cited information for both questions.
