∴ Cg = 455.16 m/s
Hence, velocity of exhaust gas jet = 455.16 m/s. (Ans.)
+Example 4.50. Air at a temperature of 20°C passes through a heat exchanger at a
velocity of 40 m/s where its temperature is raised to 820°C. It then enters a turbine with same
velocity of 40 m/s and expands till the temperature falls to 620°C. On leaving the turbine, the air
is taken at a velocity of 55 m/s to a nozzle where it expands until the temperature has fallen to
510 °C. If the air flow rate is 2.5 kg/s, calculate :
(i)Rate of heat transfer to the air in the heat exchanger ;
(ii)The power output from the turbine assuming no heat loss ;
