Question 50 CITY_GUILDS_MODEL_QUESTIONS_VOL1 • 2017 • ENGINEERING • objective

A pneumatic system delivers air at a mass flow rate of \(2.5\) kg/min. The air temperature is \(25^{\circ}\)C and the absolute pressure is \(150\) kPa. Assuming ideal‑gas behaviour (molar mass \(M=28.97\) g·mol⁻¹, \(R=8.314\) J·mol⁻¹·K⁻¹), calculate: (a) the volumetric flow rate in cubic metres per minute at the given conditions, and (b) the minimum internal diameter of a circular pipe that will keep the air velocity below \(15\) m·s⁻¹. Give the diameter to the nearest millimetre.

Answer Options

A. Volumetric flow ≈ 1.70 m³/min; pipe diameter = 52 mm
B. Volumetric flow ≈ 1.55 m³/min; pipe diameter = 48 mm
Correct Answer C. Volumetric flow ≈ 1.42 m³/min; pipe diameter = 45 mm
D. Volumetric flow ≈ 1.30 m³/min; pipe diameter = 42 mm
Correct Answer
C
Correct Option:
Volumetric flow ≈ 1.42 m³/min; pipe diameter = 45 mm
