In an experimental set-up, air flows between two stations $$P$$ and $$Q$$ adiabatically. The direction of flow depends on the pressure and temperature conditions maintained at $$P$$ and $$Q$$. The conditions at station $$P$$ are $$150$$ $$kPa$$ and $$350$$ $$K.$$ The temperature at station $$Q$$ is $$300$$ $$K.$$ The following are the properties and relations pertaining to air:

Specific heat at constant pressure, $$${C_p} = 1.005\,\,kJ/kg\,\,K;$$$
Specific heat at constant volume, $$${C_v} = 0.718\,\,kJ/kg\,\,K;$$$
Characteristic gas constant, $$R=0.287$$ $$kJ/kgK.$$
Enthalpy $$h = {C_p}T,$$
Internal energy, $$u = {C_v}T.$$

If the air has to flow from station $$P$$ to station $$Q,$$ the maximum possible value of pressure in $$kPa$$ at station $$Q$$ is close to

The temperature and pressure of air in a large reservoir are $$400$$ $$K$$ and $$3$$ bar respectively. A converging diverging nozzle of exit area $$0.005{m^2}$$ is fitted to the wall of the reservoir as shown in the figure. The static pressure of air at the exit section for isentropic flow through the nozzle is $$50$$ $$kPa.$$ The characteristic gas constant and the ratio of specific heats of air are $$0.287$$ $$kJ/kgK$$ and $$1.4$$ respectively.

The mass flow rate of air through the nozzle in $$kg/s$$ is
