Air is accelerated as it is heated in a duct with negligible friction. Air enters at V1 = 100 m/s, T1 = 400 K, and P1 = 35 kPa and the exits at a Mach number of Ma2 = 0.8.
Determine the heat transfer to the air, in kJ/kg. Also determine the maximum amount of heat transfer without reducing the mass flow rate of air.
