air flows at 2.3kg/s in 15cm diameter pipe. it has pressure= 7bar and temperature=368K before getting throttled by a valve to 3.5bar.
whats the velocity downstream and the change in entropy??

data: y=1.4, C_p=1005J/kgK, R=287

i really am a little lost as to how to proceed

Hi deepthishan! Welcome to PF! :smile:

Use Bernoulli's equation … if you're still stuck, show us how far you've got, and then we'll know how to help. :smile:
