Consider the flow through a rocket engine nozzle. In the combustion chamber, the gas which results from the combustion of the rocket fuel and oxidizer is at a pressure and temperature of 15 atm and 2500K, respectively; the molecular weight and specific heat at constant pressure of the combustion gas are 12 kg/kmol and 4157 J/kg · K, respectively. Assume that the gas flow through the nozzle is an isentropic expansion of calorically perfect gas, with a temperature of 1350K...
