- A piston-cylinder assembly having 250 mm diameter contains 0.01 kg of water vapor at 1 MPa and 200°C. The specific volume of the vapor is 0.020602 m\(^3\)/kg. The system expands as per the relation \( p v^n = {constant} \), where \( p \) is pressure and \( v \) is the specific volume. The expansion of water vapor displaces the piston by 50 mm. If the final pressure is 0.35 MPa, the value of the exponent \( n \) is ........ (rounded off to two decimal places).

A stream of superheated steam (2 MPa, 300°C) mixes with another stream of superheated steam (2 MPa, 400°C) through a steady-state adiabatic process. The flow rates of the streams are 3 kg/min and 2 kg/min, respectively. This mixture then expands in an adiabatic nozzle to a saturated mixture with quality of 0.77 and 1 kPa. Neglect the velocity at the nozzle entrance and the change in potential energies. The velocity at the nozzle exit (in m/s) is ......... (rounded off to two decimal places).
Use the following data:
At 2 MPa, 300 °C: Specific enthalpy of superheated steam = 3024.2 kJ/kg
At 2 MPa, 400 °C: Specific enthalpy of superheated steam = 3248.4 kJ/kg
At 1 kPa: Specific enthalpy of saturated water = 29.3 kJ/kg
At 1 kPa: Specific enthalpy of saturated vapour = 2513.7 kJ/kg
