Question:

Methane enters a 3-cm ID pipe at 30°C and 10bar with an average velocity of 5.00m/s and emerges at a point 200 m lower than the inlet at 30°C and 9bar.

(a) Without doing any calculations, predict the signs (+ or –) of ΔEk and ΔEp, where signifies (outlet – inlet). Briefly explain your reasoning.

(b) Calculate ΔEk and ΔEp, (W), assuming that the methane behaves as an ideal gas.
