A laminar flow element measures low gas-flow rates with a bundle  of capillary tubes packed inside a large outer tube. Consider  oxygen flowing at 84 ft3 /min in a 4-in-diameter pipe. (i) Is the  flow approaching the element turbulent? (ii) If there are 1000  capillary tubes, Length L, is 4 in, select a tube diameter to keep  Reynold’s number below 1500 and also to keep the tube pressure  drop not greater than 0.5 lbf/in2 . (iii) Do the tubes selected fit  nicely within the approach pipe?

A laminar flow element measures low gas-flow rates with a bundle 
of capillary tubes packed inside a large outer tube. Consider 
oxygen flowing at 84 ft3
/min in a 4-in-diameter pipe. (i) Is the 
flow approaching the element turbulent? (ii) If there are 1000 
capillary tubes, Length L, is 4 in, select a tube diameter to keep 
Reynold’s number below 1500 and also to keep the tube pressure 
drop not greater than 0.5 lbf/in2
. (iii) Do the tubes selected fit 
nicely within the approach pipe?
