A gas leaves a nozzle with an enthalpy drop of 20 kilojoules per kilogram and negligible inlet velocity. What exit velocity does that correspond to?

  • A.20 metres per second
  • B.2000 metres per second
  • C.40 metres per second
  • D.200 metres per second

Answer: D

Setting the enthalpy drop equal to one half of the velocity squared gives a velocity of the square root of forty thousand, which is two hundred metres per second. Forgetting to convert kilojoules to joules is the usual source of an answer wrong by a factor of about thirty.
