Answer
Mass flow rate = Density * Area * Velocity
Here we are given area, velocity and for finding density we use the ideal gas equation, pv=nrt , which gives
Density = p(molar mass)/(rt)
putting the values of temperature in kelvins and molar mass 18 as it is steam , we get density as 19.839
now putting the values of rho(density) , area(pie* d^{2}/4 , and velocity 150 as given we get
Mass flow rate as 0.5983 (remember to convert diameter in meters.
