An ideal gas is adiabatically and reversibly expanded through a nozzle.  The gas enters with negligible velocity at 400 K and 0.12 MPa and leaves the nozzle at 0.1 MPa.  What is the velocity of the gas at the nozzle outlet in (m/s)?  The molecular weight of the gas is 40 g/mol. The heat capacity of the ideal gas is CP = 20 + 0.01T where CP is in J/mol K and T is in K.
