Air enters the diffuser of a jet engine operating at a steady state at a pressure of 18 kPa, a temperature of 213 K and a velocity of 285 m/s. The air flows adiabatically through the diffuser and exits at a temperature of 240 K. Using the ideal gas model for the air, please determine the velocity of the air at the diffuser exit, in m/s.
