Air flows through a long duct of constant area at 0.15 kg/s. A short section of the duct is cooled by liquid nitrogen that surrounds the duct. The rate of heat loss in this section is 15.0 kJ/s from the air. The absolute pressure, temperature, and velocity entering the cooled section are 188 kPa, 440 K, and 210 m/s, respectively. At the outlet, the absolute pressure and temperature are 213 kPa and 351 K. Compute the duct cross-sectional area and the changes in enthalpy, internal energy, and entropy for this flow. Take C=1 KJ/KgK, C,-0.717 KJ/Kg.K
