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.

values provided by property tables, and linear interpolation between adjacent
table entries becomes necessary. Using the data provided here, estimate
i. the specific volume at T= 240 °Č, p = 1.25 MPa, in m/kg
ii. the temperature at p = 1.5 MPa, v = 0.1555 m/kg, in °C

A pipe 200 (mm) diameter carries Oil at a
flow rate of 0.030 (m³/s). The pipe
diameter reduces from 200 (mm) to 150
(mm). Point 1 is located at the beginning
of the pipe and point 2 is located at the end
of the pipe. Elevation of point 1 is 165 (m)
lower than elevation of point 2. Water
pressure at point 2 is atmospheric pressure.
Water flow in the pipe ascending from
point 1 to point 2. Total head losses of
flow in the pipe equals to 15 (m).

at point 1.
2- Draw the H.G.L. of flow in the pipe.
PROPAGATION OF ERROR
You are tasked to supervise the design of 0.5MW wind turbine to be constructed in a Wind Farm in Pililla, Rizal. Suppose the design criteria are as follows: The air density as surveyed after 2 year period averaged at 1.225 kg / cubic meter. The sweeping diameter of the rotor blades is 125m, and the anemometer reading in the area amounts to 4.2m/s on a 2 year period of survey. What is the theoretical power output of the turbine assuming 100% efficiency of operation? Your answer must be in kW and in two decimal places with correct signs.
In the previous problem, if the diameter measurement is off by 0.1m and the anemometer reading is also fluctuating by 0.05m/s and if the error measurement for theoretical power output must be limited to 3%, WHY OR WHY NOT should you accept the design? *

- A 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_forwardIn medical literatures, local blood perfusion rate is typically presented as xx ml/(min 100g tissue), in another word, it represents xx ml of blood supplied to a tissue mass of 100 g per minute to satisfy its nutritional needs. As we learned from the course lectures, the local blood perfusion rate appearing in the Pennes bioheat equation is in a unit of 1/s, or can be interpreted as xx ml of blood supplied to a tissue volume of 1 ml per second. The following lists the blood perfusion rates in various organs or structures in a human body from medical textbooks: brain (50 ml/(min 100g tissue)), kidney (35 ml/(min 100g tissue)), and muscle at rest (3 ml/(min 100g tissue)). Please convert the above local blood perfusion rates into values with the unit of 1/s, therefore, they can be used in the Pennes bioheat equation. The tissue density in a human body is 1050 kg/m³.arrow_forwardb) The variation in the experimental density of water, p, with temperature T, in the range of 20°Carrow_forwardarrow_back_iosSEE MORE QUESTIONSarrow_forward_ios
