Question

 Your boss asks you to calculate the flow through a natural-gas pipeline where the gas is 
at a constant 140°F. Since it is 26 in. in diameter, it is impossible to run the gas through any kind 
of meter or measuring device. you decide to add 100 lb CO2 per minute to the gas through a 
small 1/2 in. piece of pipe, collect samples of the gas downstream, and analyze them for CO2. 
Several consecutive samples after 1 hr (so read the time column as 1 hr 0 min, 1 hr 10 min, etc) 
are:
time %CO2
0 min 2.0
10 min 2.2
20 min 1.9
30 min 2.1
40 min 2.0
a) Calculate the flow of gas in pounds per minute at the point of injection
