Falcon 9 rocket engine, fuel mixture LOX/RP1 is combusted in a large tank and exhausts through a converging-diverging (C-D) nozzle. The combustion gas (k = 1.221, R = 0.3885 kJ/kg.K) in the large tank has a temperature of 3500 K and pressure 9 MPa (abs). The throat diameter of the C-D nozzle is 0.5334 m and the nozzle operates at design condition at 20 km altitude. The flow in the C-D nozzle is steady and isentropic. Air pressure above sea level can be calculated as : p = 101325 (1 – H x 2.25577 x 10-5)5.25588 where 101325 = normal temperature and pressure at sea level (Pa) p = air pressure (Pa) H = altitude above sea level (m) Express ALL answers in 4 significant figures. (a) Calculate : Velocity at the Exit and the diameter of the EXIT. (b) Calculate the Thrust produced. Help me to solve a and b please im stuck

where
101325 = normal temperature and pressure at sea level (Pa)
p = air pressure (Pa)
H = altitude above sea level (m)
