The indicator-dilution method is a technique used to determine flow rates of fluid in channels for which devices like rotameters and orifice meters cannot be used (e.g. rivers, blood vessels, and large diameter pipelines). A stream of an easily measured substance (the tracer) is injected into the channel at a known rate and the tracer concentration is measured at a point far enough downstream of the injection point for the tracer to be completely mixed with the flowing fluid. The larger the flow rate of the fluid, the lower the tracer concentration at the measurement point. A gas stream that contains 1.60 mole\% CO2 flows through a pipeline. 20.0 kilograms of CO2 per minute is injected into the line. A sample of the gas is drawn from a point in the line 300.0 meters downstream of the injection point and found to contain 2.60 mole\% CO2. Gas Flow Estimate the gas flow rate upstream of the injection point. kmol/min
