Textbook Question
Chapter 13, Problem 13.24P
A rotameter that was calibrated for air at 25ºC and 760 mm Hg was used to measure the flow rate of helium into a gas chromatograph in a laboratory where the temperature and pressure were the same as at calibration. The rotameter reading was 28.3 L/min (l cfm). What was the actual flow rate of the helium?
