Question:

For a certain model study involving a 1:5 scale model it is known that Froude number similarity must be maintained. The possibility of cavitation is also to be investigated, and it is assumed that the cavitation number must be the same for model and prototype. The prototype fluid is water at \(30^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\), and the model fluid is water at \(70^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\). If the prototype operates at an ambient pressure of \(101 \mathrm{kPa}\) (abs), what is the required ambient pressure for the model system?
