13.78 A venturi meter is used to measure the flow of helium in a pipe. The pipe is 1 cm in diameter, and the throat diameter is 0.5 cm. The measured upstream and throat pressures are 120 kPa and 80 kPa, respectively. The static temperature of the helium in the pipe is 17°C. Determine the mass flow rate.
