Chapter 6, Problem 6.31P
A laminar flow element (LFE) (Meriam Instrument Co.) measures low gas-flow rates with a bundle of capillary tubes or ducts packed inside a large outer tube. Consider oxygen at 20°C and 1 atm flowing at 84 ft3/min in a 4-in-diameter pipe. (a) Is the flow turbulent when approaching the element? (b) If there are 1000 capillary tubes, L = 4 in, select a tube diameter to keep Red below 1500 and also to keep the tube pressure drop no greater than 0.5 lbf/in2. (c) Do the tubes selected in part (b) fit nicely within the approach pipe?
