The ratio of exit pressure to inlet pressure of maximum mass flow rate per area of steam through a nozzle when steam is initially superheated is__________?

Correct answer: C. 0.5457

  • A. 0.555
  • B. 0.578
  • C. 0.5457
  • D. 0.6

Explanation

For superheated steam, using an isentropic exponent of about 1.3 gives a critical pressure ratio near 0.546. Hence 0.5457 is the appropriate value.
