Solve Problem 4.14 using the 3K method for calculating the K value of the elbow.

Problem 4.14

A standard 90° elbow is being used in a 8-nom commercial steel pipe. The joint between the pipe and elbow is flanged. Under a fully turbulent flow condition, the loss coefficient for the elbow is found to be K = 0.29 using the method presented by the Crane Company (2017). Use the 2K method to calculate the K value of this elbow for the range of Reynolds numbers 104 < Re < 108. Display your results on a plot showing K as a function of the Reynolds number [K vs.
log(Re)]. Comment on how the result compares to the value calculated using the Crane method.
