Question
Before a rotameter can beused to measure an unknown flow rate, a
calibration curve of flow rate versus rotameter reading must be prepared. The following
calibration curve data has been collected for a specific rotameter:

Assuming the liquid is water at 25 C, draw a calibration curve of mass flow rate versus
rotameter reading, and use it to estimate the mass flow rate of a water stream for which
the rotameter reading is 5.3.
