Steam (water vapor) enters a stainless steel tube with inner diameter 4cm at 300°C and 60 bar absolute pressure, with a velocity of 8.00 m/s.  The steam exits the tube at 300°C and 40 bar absolute pressure. a. Assuming the water vapor behaves as an ideal gas, calculate the steam mass flow rate and the change in kinetic energy (in Watts).

Question
Steam (water vapor) enters a stainless steel tube with inner diameter 4cm at 300°C and 60 bar absolute pressure, with a velocity of 8.00 m/s.  The steam exits the tube at 300°C and 40 bar absolute pressure.
a. Assuming the water vapor behaves as an ideal gas, calculate the steam mass flow rate and the change in kinetic energy (in Watts).
b. Using the specific volume values from table B.7, calculate the steam mass flow rate and the change in kinetic energy (in Watts).
