A gas flows through a long pipe of constant diameter. The outlet of the pipe is higher than the inlet, and the pressure of the gas at the outlet is less than the inlet pressure. The gas temperature is constant throughout the pipe and the system is at steady state.How do the mass flow rates at the inlet and outlet compare? The densities? The volumetric flow rates? (Assume ideal-gas behavior.)
