Find the max velocity of the steam in a steady-flow adiabatic nozzle

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on determining the maximum velocity of steam in a steady-flow adiabatic nozzle, with a focus on the relationship between entropy at two states. It is suggested that maximum velocity occurs when the entropy at state 1 equals that at state 2, leading to questions about the isentropic nature of the system. Participants express confusion regarding whether the system is indeed isentropic, with one user seeking clarification on this point. Additionally, there are issues with accessing the provided link for the homework statement, prompting suggestions for alternative image hosting. The conversation highlights the importance of understanding isentropic processes in thermodynamics.

The Attempt at a Solution


According to the solution, the max velocity is when the entropy of state 1 is equal to the entropy at state 2. Why is this the case?

My friend says it is because the system is isentropic but I am still very confused. Is the system actually isentropic first of all?

Thread 'Errors and significant figures'

I multiplied the values first without the error limit. Got 19.38. rounded it off to 2 significant figures since the given data has 2 significant figures. So = 19. For error I used the above formula. It comes out about 1.48. Now my question is. Should I write the answer as 19±1.5 (rounding 1.48 to 2 significant figures) OR should I write it as 19±1. So in short, should the error have same number of significant figures as the mean value or should it have the same number of decimal places as...

Thread 'A cylinder connected to a hanging mass'

Let's declare that for the cylinder, mass = M = 10 kg Radius = R = 4 m For the wall and the floor, Friction coeff = ##\mu## = 0.5 For the hanging mass, mass = m = 11 kg First, we divide the force according to their respective plane (x and y thing, correct me if I'm wrong) and according to which, cylinder or the hanging mass, they're working on. Force on the hanging mass $$mg - T = ma$$ Force(Cylinder) on y $$N_f + f_w - Mg = 0$$ Force(Cylinder) on x $$T + f_f - N_w = Ma$$ There's also...
