Engine Air Intake Flow
Engine Air Intake Flow
(OP)
Am I right in saying that when using dimensional analysis and using a 1/4 scale pipe for an air intake on a wind tunnel model that the mass flow rate will be exactly 1/4 of the full size when the air density, viscosity and velocity do not change?

By the way, this (a) sounds like homework and (b) sounds like you are wrong.

reason is very simple, less mechanical losses as in case of one pipe
