2. (20 pts) For my PhD research at lowa State I worked with a fluidized bed biomass gasifier. A fluidized bed is a container of solid particles (sand is often used) that is made to behave like a fluid by blowing air up through the particles from underneath, causing them to be suspended. You do not need to know anything about biomass gasification or fluidized beds for this problem, however, if you are curious you should check out this video about fluidized beds after you submit your test: We ran our fluidized bed using air from the building's compressed air system, delivered at a rate of 50.0 L/min. I want you to design a venturi meter, as shown below, to measure the air flow so that it can be precisely adjusted to the required 50.0 L/min each time an experiment is performed. Using Bernoulli's equation determine the required pipe diameter at position 2 such that the water manometer height difference, h, reads exactly 10 cm when operating at the required flow rate. You may assume the air behaves as an ideal gas and the density of water is 1000 kg/m² Pi = 600 kPa T, 38°C air (2) Ildia. I " 1" diameter SA H₂O
