RE: how to design steam nozzle

You have not specified your conditions very carefully.  At the risk of being pedantic (you can look it up), I ask the following:

Pressure is "absolute" or "gauge"? It is the difference between pressure ratio of roughly 10 or 4.4, which makes a very big difference in the expansion ratio.

The exhaust pressure is the only thing that you need to  specify for the discharge.  The isenthalpic expansion through the nozzle will determine the discharge temperature.  (Perhaps you have specified the temperature of the discahrge plenum, but it really doesn't matter.)

The isentropic determination of an expansion ratio is available in texts on compressible fluid flow, or even from any first level undergraduate text on thermodynamics.  

You may make a "reasonable" estimate of the nozzle efficiency (between 0.98 and 0.95 for a well-made nozzle with a good surface finish) and adjust the "perfect" equations for the estimated nozzle efficiency.
