The pressure drop through an oil pipeline is to be modeled by using the flow of water through an identical length of tubing. The required oil velocity in the prototype pipeline is known to be 35 cm/s. In order for the experimental model to be relevant and yield transferable results, the Re and the Eu of the model must match those of the pipeline.
a. Use the Reynolds number to determine the required velocity of the model fluid.
b. Use the Euler number to predict the pressure drop in the model, if the pressure drop measured in the prototype pipeline was 0.05 psi.
