A nozzle has a coefficient of velocity of 0.98. Its ideal exit velocity of \( 600 \ \mathrm{m/s} \) becomes

  • A.610 m/s
  • B.576 m/s
  • C.588 m/s
  • D.612 m/s

Answer: C

Correct answer: 588 m/s

The coefficient of velocity is the ratio of actual to ideal exit velocity:

\[ V_e = C_v V_{ideal} = 0.98 \times 600 = 588 \text{ m/s} \]

The two per cent shortfall represents friction and non-uniformity in the nozzle. A coefficient of velocity above unity is impossible, since the ideal is the isentropic case, so the answers above 600 m/s can be rejected without calculation.
