Question: QUESTION 2 [ 2 0 Marks ] The pressure drop between the entrance and exit of a 1 5 0 - mm - diameter 9

QUESTION 2
[20 Marks]
The pressure drop between the entrance and exit of a 150-mm-diameter 90 elbow, through which ethyl alcohol at \(20^{\circ}\mathrm{C}\) is flowing, is to be determined with a geometrically similar model. The velocity of the alcohol is \(5\mathrm{~m}/\mathrm{s}\). The model fluid is to be water at \(20^{\circ}\mathrm{C}\), and the model velocity is limited to \(10\mathrm{~m}/\mathrm{s}\).
(a) What is the required diameter of the model elbow to maintain dynamic similarity?
(b) A measured pressure drop of 20 kPa in the model will correspond to what prototype value?
