Question:

A converging nozzle is bolted to the side of a large tank. Air inside the tank is maintained at a constant \(50 \mathrm{psia}\) and \(100^{\circ} \mathrm{F}\). The inlet area of the nozzle is \(10 \mathrm{in} .{ }^{2}\) and the exit area is \(1 \mathrm{in.}^{2}\) The nozzle discharges to the atmosphere. For isentropic flow in the nozzle, determine the total force on the bolts, and indicate whether the bolts are in tension or compression.
