The model of a conduit is scaled to 1/100 of the actual size. Seawater is used in the prototype and fresh water is used in the model. Velocity in the prototype is 0.5 m/s. Density and dynamic viscosity of the seawater are 1025 kg/m3 and 1.07 × 10-3 kg/m-s, respectively. Density and dynamic viscosity of fresh water are 1000 kg/m3 and 1 × 10-3 kg/m-s, respectively. Assume the viscous forces to be dominant. The velocity to be maintained in the model to ensure dynamic similarity is____ m/s.
Answer: 47.52 to 48.50
