Chapter 12, Problem 8CQ
Many entrainment devices have a constriction, called a Venturi, such as shown in Figure 12.24. How does this bolster entrainment?
Figure 12.24 A tube with a narrow segment designed to enhance entrainment is called a Venturi. These are very commonly used in carburetors and aspirators.

We’ve seen that fish can control their buoyancy through the use of a swim bladder, a gas-filled organ inside the body. You can assume that the gas pressure inside the swim bladder is roughly equal to the external water pressure. A fish swimming at a particular depth adjusts the volume of its swim bladder to give it neutral buoyancy. If the fish swims upward or downward, the changing water pressure causes the bladder to expand or contract. Consequently, the fish must adjust the quantity of gas to restore the original volume and thus reestablish neutral buoyancy. Consider a large, 7.0 kg striped bass with a volume of 7.0 L. When neutrally buoyant, 7.0% of the fish’s volume is taken up by the swim bladder. Assume a bodytemperature of 15°C.a. How many moles of air are in the swim bladder when the fish is at a depth of 80 ft?b. What will the volume of the swim bladder be if the fish ascends to a 50 ft depth without changing the quantity of gas?c. To return the swim bladder to its original…
