Explanation:

An adiabatic flow is a condition where the overall heat transfer interaction across the boundary of the system and surroundings is zero.

  • If the system boundary is perfectly insulated with the surrounding then the heat interaction will be zero.
  • nozzle is a steady-state steady-flow device to create a high-velocity fluid stream at the expense of its pressure.
  • The nozzle is perfectly insulated so the flow is adiabatic and also there is no moving part so shaft work is also zero.

From the steady flow energy equation,

As the change in potential energy is also zero hence SFEE is given by,
