Question

Calculate the true volumetric flow rate of methane is the rotameter when the rotameter reads 4.0.

A previously calibrated rotameter is being used to measure a gas
flow. The old calibration curve is a straight line described by the
following equation:
Q = 1.10RR - 0.50
where
Q = flow, liters/minute
%3D
RR = rotameter reading, dimensionless
The rotameter was calibrated using ethane (C,Hg) at 1.40 ntm
and 60 °F. The gas presently being used is methane (CHA) at 1.10
atm and 100 "F.
