A stomp rocket is a toy consisting of a hose connected to a blast pad (i. e., an air bladder) at one end and to a short pipe mounted on a tripod at the other end. A rocket with a hollow body is mounted onto the pipe and is propelled into the air by stomping on the blast pad. Some manufacturers claim that one can shoot a rocket over 200 ft in the air. Neglecting air resistance, determine the rocket’s minimum initial speed such that it reaches a maximum fligh height of 200 ft.

At steady state, air enters an insulated duct of varying cross-sectional area (similar to a nozzle or diffuser) at 200 kpa, 52°c with a mass flow rate of 0.5 kg/s. at the duct exit, the pressure of the air is 100 kpa, the velocity is 255 m/s, and the cross-sectional area is 2 x 10-3 m^2. assuming an ideal gas model, determine: a)-find the specific volume of the air at the exit, in m3/kg. b)- the temperature of the air at the exit, in k. c)-the velocity of the air at the inlet, in m/s. d)-the inlet cross-sectional area, in m^2.
