The aorta is approximately 25 mm in diameter. The mean pressure there is about 100 mmHg and the blood flows through the aorta at

approximately 60 cm/s. Suppose that at a certain point a portion of the aorta is blocked so that the cross-sectional area is reduced to 3/4 of its original area. The density of blood is 1060 kg/m3.
(a) How fast is the blood moving just as it enters the blocked portion of the aorta? (in cm/s)

(b) What is the gauge pressure (in mmHg) of the blood just as it has entered the blocked portion of the aorta? (in mmHg)

Answer:

Explanation:

25 mm diameter

r₁  = 12.5 x 10⁻³ m radius.

cross sectional area =  a₁

Pressure P₁  = 100 x 10⁻³ x 13.6 x 9.8 Pa

a )

velocity of blood v₁ = .6 m /s

Cross sectional area at blockade = 3/4 a₁

Velocity at blockade area = v₂

As liquid is in-compressible

a₁v₁ = a₂v₂

a₁ x .6 m /s  = 3/4 a₁ v₂

v₂ = .8m/s

b )

Applying Bernauli's theorem formula

P₁ + 1/2 ρv₁² =  P₂ +  1/2 ρv₂²

100 x 10⁻³ x 13.6 x10³x 9.8 + 1/2 X 1060 x .6² = P₂ +  1/2x 1060 x .8²

13328 +190.8 = P₂ + 339.2

P₂ = 13179.6 Pa

= 13179 / 13.6 x 10³ x 9.8 m of Hg

P₂ =  .09888 m of Hg

98.88 mm of Hg

A 30%-efficient car engine accelerates the 1300 kg car from rest to 10 m/s . How much energy is transferred to the engine by bur
WITCHER [35]

Answer:

The Energy transferred to the engine by burning gasoline = <u>216.67 KJ</u>

Explanation:

The parameters given are:

The efficiency of the car engine, E = 30% = 0.3

Mass, m = 1300 kg

Initial velocity, u = 0, since the car is from rest

The final velocity, v = 10 m/s

Since the car was moving, we calculate its kinetic energy.

kinetic energy = ((1/2) (m) (v^2)

((1/2) (1300 kg) (10 m/s^2)

= 65,000 j

The Energy, Q transferred to the engine by burning gasoline in this case

= potential energy / The efficiency of the car engine, E

Q = 65,000 j / 0.3

= 216,666.66 J

Converting Joule to kilojoule

where 1KJ = 1000j

216,666.66 J = <u>216.67 KJ</u>
