While solving a homework problem, a friend insists that it is possible to design a simple nozzle that accelerates an ideal gas isothermally as long as the pressure decreases from the inlet to the outlet. What do you think of your friend's suggestion? Group of answer choices
A) Your friend needs to supply you with more design constraints before you can assess the validity of their claim.
B) This is plausible in general. Since h is a function of T and P we can design the nozzle such that P (and thus h) decreases as the ideal gas flows through the nozzle while T remains constant.
C) This is not plausible. The temperature of an ideal gas will decrease as it flows through a simple nozzle.
D) This is not plausible. The temperature of an ideal gas will increase as it flows through a simple nozzle.
