Le/D) for 90° elbow (medium radius) and 90°square elbow would be respectively around___________________?
Correct answer: A. 25 and 60
- A. 25 and 60
- B. 3 and 5
- C. 100 and 250
- D. 250 and 600
Explanation
The equivalent-length ratios are approximately 25 for a medium-radius 90° elbow and 60 for a square elbow. A square elbow causes greater separation and turbulence, so its equivalent length is higher.
