Question:

A sharp-edged orifice is used to measure the flow of air in a pipe. The pipe diameter is 100 mm and the diameter of the orifice is 25 mm. Upstream of the orifice, the absolute pressure is 150 kPa and the temperature is 35C. The pressure drop across the orifice is 15 kPa, and the coefficient of discharge is 0.62. Determine the mass flow rate in the pipeline.
