A converging nozzle has an exit area of 0.001 m2. Air enters the nozzle with negligible velocity at a pressure of 1 MPa and a temperature of 360 K. For isentropic flow of an ideal gas with k = 1.4 and the gas constant R = Ru/MW = 287 J/kg-K, determine the mass flow rate in kg/s and the exit Mach number for back pressures of (a) 500 kPa and (b) 784 kPa.
