Current Attempt in Progress
A Thomas flowmeter is a device in which heat is transferred at a measured rate from an electric coil to a flowing fluid, and the flow
rate of the stream is calculated from the measured increase of the fluid temperature. Suppose a device of this sort is inserted in a
stream of nitrogen, the current through the heating coil is adjusted until the wattmeter reads 1.25kW, and the stream temperature
goes from 32.5C and 110kPa before the heater to 38.7C and 110kPa after the heater.
If the specific enthalpy of nitrogen is given by the formula
hat(H)(kJkg)=1.04(T(C)-25.0)
what is the volumetric flow rate of the gas (Ls upstream of the heater (i.e. at 32.5C and 110kPa )?
Ls
