Question: Water flows through a 2 8 cm ( length ) rotameter ( Type A ) with aninternal diameter of 2 5 mm at the top

Water flows through a 28 cm (length) rotameter (Type A) with aninternal diameter of 25 mm at the top and 20 mm at the bottom. Thefloat has a diameter of 20 mm, a volume of 6.1 cm3 and a specificgravity of 5.3. Flow rate of 380 L/hr.
1. What is the final value of the linear flowrate through the annulus?(m/s)
2. What is the final Reynolds number through the annulus?
3. How far from the bottom is the float under these conditions? (cm)
Iterate until a constant is obtained. 4 iterations should be enough
