Textbook Question
Chapter 6, Problem 53P
A flow nozzle is a device for measuring the flow rate in a pipe. This particular nozzle is to be used to measure low-speed air flow for which compressibility may be neglected. During operation, the pressures p1 and p2 are recorded, as well as upstream temperature, T1. Find the mass flow rate in terms of Δp = p2−p1 and T1, the gas constant for air, and device diameters D1 and D2. Assume the flow is frictionless. Will the actual flow be more or less than this predicted flow? Why?

One end of a tube of unknown radius is immersed to a depth of 15 mm in water and an air bubble is blown at the end of this tube. The maximum air pressure measured is 200 Pa. The same procedure is carried out in a liquid and the maximum air pressure recorded in 150 Pa. Determine the surface tension of the liquid. Data given: Density of water = 997 kg/m3 Density of liquid = 850 kg/m3 Density of air = 1.2 kg/m3 Surface tension of water = 72 mN/m
In medical work, pressures are often measured in units of mm of H2O because body fluids, including the cerebrospinal fluid, typically have nearly the same density as water. The pressure of the cerebrospinal fluid can be measured by means of a spinal tap. A hollow tube is inserted into the spinal column, and the height to which the fluid rises is observed. If the fluid rises to a height of 160 mm, we write its gauge pressure as 160 mm H2O.
(a) Express this pressure in pascals, in atmospheres, and in millimeters of mercury.

a) Sometimes it is necessary to determine whether an accident victim has suffered a crushed vertebra that is blocking the flow of cerebrospinal fluid in the spinal column. In other cases, a physician may suspect that a tumor or other growth is locking the spinal column and inhibiting the flow of cerebrospinal fluid. Such conditions can be investigated by means of the Queckensted test. In this procedure the veins in the patient’s neck are compressed, to make the blood pressure rise in the brain. The increase in pressure in the blood vessels is…
