Question

Fluid originally flows through atube at a rate of 200 cm3/s. Toillustrate the sensitivity of the Poiseuille flow rate to variousfactors, calculate the new flowrate for the following changes with all other factors remaining the same as in the original conditions: A new fluid with 6.00 times greater viscosity is substituted. Poiseuille flow is given by:

Answer 1

Answer:

$Q_{2}=1200cm^{3}/s$

Explanation:

Given data

Q₁=200cm³/s

We know that:

$F=n\frac{vA}{l}$

can be written as:

ΔP=F/A=n×v/L

And

Q=ΔP/R

As

n₂=6.0n₁

So

Q=ΔP/R

$Q=\frac{nv}{lR}\\ \frac{Q_{2}}{n_{2}}= \frac{Q_{1}}{n_{1}}\\ Q_{2}=\frac{Q_{1}}{n_{1}}*(n_{2})\\Q_{2}=\frac{200}{n_{1}}*6.0n_{1}\\ Q_{2}=1200cm^{3}/s$
