Question
Methane in the gaseous state flows at a rate of 0.072 m^3/s in a pipe at a
temperature of 27°C and gauge pressure of 148.675kPa (point 1). The pipe is
divided into two branches (point 2 and 3), as seen in the figure. If the exit
velocity in pipe 3 is 12 m/s with a density of 1.9 kg/m^3, what is the flow rate and
velocity in pipe 2? Consider that in section 2 the fluid is leaving with a
temperature of 402°C and an absolute pressure of 175 kPa. We have an
atmospheric pressure of 101.325 kPa and R_methane = 0.5182 kJ/kg ⚫K.
