Show the magnitude of forces F A B and F A C as in Figure (1). Establish a position vector from A to C . The coordinates of the tail A ( 0.5 , − 1.5 , 0 ) m are subtracted from the coordinates of the head C ( − 1.5 , 0.5 , 3.5 ) m . Express the position vector r in the direction of AC using Figure 1. r A C = ( x C − x A ) i + ( y C − y A ) j + ( z C − z A ) k (I) Here, the coordinates of A and C are x A , x C , y A , y C , z A , and z C , respectively. Express the force F A C as a Cartesian vector form, and the position vector r is directed from point A to point C . F A C = F A C u A C = F A C ( r A C r A C ) (II) Here, the unit vector in the direction of AC is u A C , the position vector in the direction of AC is r A C , and the magnitude of the position vector in the direction of AC is r A C .

The cardiovascular countercurrent heat exchnager mechanism is to warm venous blood from 28 degrees C to 35 degrees C at a mass flow rate of 2 g/s. The artery inflow temp is 37 degrees C at a mass flow rate of 5 g/s. The average diameter of the vein is 5 cm and the overall heat transfer coefficient is 125 W/m^2*K. Determine the overall blood vessel length needed too warm the venous blood to 35 degrees C if the specific heat of both arterial and venous blood is constant and equal to 3475 J/kg*K.

Consider the feedback controlled blending system shown below, which is designed to keep theoutlet concentration constant despite potential variations in the stream 1 composition. The density of all streamsis 920 kg/m3. At the nominal steady state, the flow rates of streams 1 and 2 are 950 and 425 kg/min,respectively, the liquid level in the tank is 1.3 m, the incoming mass fractions are x1 = 0.27, x2 = 0.54. Noticethe overflow line, indicating that the liquid level remains constant (i.e. any change in total inlet flow ratetranslates immediately to the same change in the outlet flow rate). You may assume the stream 1 flowrate andthe stream 2 composition are both constant.
