SUMMARY
The mass flow rate of flue gas in the sugar industry can be calculated using the diameter of the pipe and the ID fan speed, which are 1.48 meters and 980 RPM, respectively. However, additional data is essential for accurate calculations, including the pressure difference between the pipe's ends, the length of the pipe, and the viscosity and density of the gas. The application of Poiseuille's law is crucial for determining the mass flow rate accurately.
