Chapter 1, Problem 1.31P
Consider the milk container of Example 1.4.2 (Figure 1.4.7). A straw 9.5 cm long was inserted in the side of the container. While adjusting the tap flow to keep the water height Constant, the time for the outflow to fill a 250-ml cup was measured. This was repeated for several heights. The data are given in the following table.
Obtain a functional description of the volume outflow rate f through the straw as a function of water height h above the hole.

PROBLEM #2
A nozzle is used to increase the velocity of steam before it enters a turbine as a part
of a power plant. The steam entering is at 1 MPa, 500 K and leaves at the conditions of 350°C
and 2 MPa. If the nozzle has an inlet diameter of 3 cm and an outlet diameter of 1 cm, how
much is transferred during the process? Is it lost or gained?
For a venturi meter given below, the volumetric flow rate is defined in terms of the geometrical parameters, the
density of working fluid (p), and density of the manometer liquid (pm) as

- 56.0 mL of two different liquids are poured through a funnel with a narrow exit tube, and the time for all of the liquid to flow through is recorded. Here are some results: time to flow through funnel trial Liquid X Liquid Y 1.60 s 3.62 s 1.52 s 3.44 s 1.44 s 3.56 s Note: the two liquids have the same density. Which statement below is true about these liquids based only on the data in the table? O The intermolecular forces in liquid X are stronger than those in liquid Y. The boiling point of liquid X is higher than the boiling point of liquid Y. The viscosity of liquid X is greater than the viscosity of liquid Y. The surface tension of liquid X is greater than the surface tension of liquid Y. The viscosity of liquid X is less than the viscosity of liquid Y. 3.arrow_forwardA physics lab Consist of a large bowl attached to wire. Students hold onto one of the wire the whirl the ball around in circles and count the number of rotations per second. One group finds these numbers: ball mass=320g, wire length=1.3m, number of rotations/second=2.5. The wire is made of steel with a diameter of 1mm and a Young’s modulus of 20x10^10 N/m^2. How much does the wire stretch due to the tension on it?

Your first task is to make measurements on the flow of blood plasma through your prototype. The device specifications require that 37°C plasma flow into the device pass through a bank of 100 tubes (0.2mm diameter), then exit the device. The total flow rate for the device must be 800 ml min^-1. If you want to maintain a pressure drop across each tube below 100 pascals, what is the maximum length of the tube in centimeters?arrow_forwardA simple model of blood flow through the descending aorta is provided at the right. Total flow into the aorta is given by Q. The model includes the effects of vessel taper and outflow through 10 tributary arteries, through which the flow is assumed to be equal and given by q. We will assume that the blood is in-viscid and that the flow is steady and laminar. The effects of gravity are neglected. A₁ P₁ A₂ P₂ Find the pressure (P2) at bottom outlet in terms of Q, P₁, and A₁ for the three cases: a) For a tapered vessel for which A2 = A₁/2; and q = 0. b) For a vessel without a taper, but with q = Q/20. c) For a tapered vessel for which A2 = A₁/2 and q = Q/20.arrow_forward
