2. A client wishes to build a scale model of the cylindrical industrial process vessel depicted in the schematic diagram below. The fluid is circulated through the vessel by an impeller mounted in a cylindrical draft tube - the impeller rotates at 90 rpm. The vessel is open to the atmosphere at the top of the vessel, and it may be assumed that there will be no flow into or out of the vessel during the process. The real process fluid has a specific gravity of 1.1 and a viscosity of 1.5 centipoise. The dimensions of the real vessel are as shown below. If the height of the model vessel Hv is to be 2.0 m (from the base to the liquid surface), and dynamic similarity is to be achieved, determine: The vessel diameter DVM, draft tube diameter DDM, and Impeller Diameter DIM for the model vessel. The rotational speed (in rpm) of the impeller in the model vessel. The kinematic viscosity (in m/s) of the fluid in the model vessel. DVR = 5 m Impeller DIR=0.9 m HVR = 16 m DDR = 1 m 2.
