Question: The natural gas ( methane , density ( : = 0 . 0 4 1 5 l b m f t 3 } and crude

The natural gas (methane, density (:=0.0415lbmft3} and crude oil density (:=55lbmft3} mixture having a density of 15.8lbmft3 enters the separator at A at 13ft3s. The process takes place at a constant temperature of 68F. Pure crude oil flows out through the pipe at C at 1400galmin.1ft3=7.48gal. The average velocity of the pure natural gas that
leaves the 6-in-diameter pipe at D is fts.
Hint: Similar to class problem. Perform IOGA to determine mass flow rate in D. Use density of natural gas and pipe diameter to calculate velocity
