Q4/ The pressure drop in a certain length of 0.3 m horizontal waterline is 68.95 kPa when the mean velocity is 4.5 m/s and the water temperature 20°C. If a 1:6 model of this pipeline using air as the working fluid is to produce a pressure drop of 55.2 kPa in the corresponding length when the mean velocity is 30 m/s, calculate the air pressure and temperature required for dynamic similarity between model and prototype.
