Answer:

The velocity of the blood in the thinner arteries is 0.1 times that of the thicker artery.

Explanation:

To find the velocity of the blood we need to use the continuity equation:

$n_{1}A_{1}v_{1} = n_{2}A_{2}v_{2}$ (1)

<u>Where</u>:

n: is the number of branches

A: is the cross-sectional area

v: is the velocity

For artery 1, we have:

n₁ = 1, A₁ = 1 cm², v₁ = v

For the 20 arteries (2), we have:

n₂ = 20, A₂ = 0.5 cm², v₂ =?

By using equation (1):

$n_{1}A_{1}v_{1} = n_{2}A_{2}v_{2}$

$1 cm^{2}*v = 20*0.5 cm^{2}*v_{2}$

$v_{2} = \frac{1 cm^{2}*v}{20*0.5 cm^{2}} = \frac{v}{10} = 0.1v$

Therefore, the velocity of the blood in the thinner arteries is 0.1 times that of the thicker artery.

I hope it helps you!

Answer:

Standard deviation = 3

Explanation:

Given

$N = 1201$

$SS = 10800$

Required

Determine the standard deviation

First, we need to determine the variance;

$Variance = \frac{SS}{N - 1}$

This gives:

$Variance = \frac{10800}{1201 - 1}$

$Variance = \frac{10800}{1200}$

$Variance = 9$

Know that:

$Variance = SD^2$

Where SD represents standard deviation

This gives

$9 = SD^2$

Take square root

$SD = \sqrt 9$

$SD = 3$

Using a 683 nm wavelength laser, you form the diffraction pattern of a 1.1 mm wide slit on a screen. You measure on the screen t

n200080 [17]

Answer:

10.2 m

Explanation:

The position of the dark fringes (destructive interference) formed on a distant screen in the interference pattern produced by diffraction from a single slit are given by the formula:

$y=\frac{\lambda (m+\frac{1}{2})D}{d}$

where

y is the position of the m-th minimum

m is the order of the minimum

D is the distance of the screen from the slit

d is the width of the slit

$\lambda$ is the wavelength of the light used

In this problem we have:

$\lambda=683 nm = 683\cdot 10^{-9} m$ is the wavelength of the light

$d=1.1 mm = 0.0011 m$ is the width of the slit

m = 13 is the order of the minimum

$y=8.57 cm = 0.0857 m$ is the distance of the 13th dark fringe from the central maximum

Solving for D, we find the distance of the screen from the slit:

$D=\frac{yd}{\lambda(m+\frac{1}{2})}=\frac{(0.0857)(0.0011)}{(683\cdot 10^{-9})(13+\frac{1}{2})}=10.2 m$

What is the gauge pressure of the water right at the point p, where the needle meets the wider chamber of the syringe? neglect t

Helen [10]

Missing details: figure of the problem is attached.

We can solve the exercise by using Poiseuille's law. It says that, for a fluid in laminar flow inside a closed pipe,

$\Delta P = \frac{8 \mu L Q}{\pi r^4}$

where:

$\Delta P$ is the pressure difference between the two ends

$\mu$ is viscosity of the fluid

L is the length of the pipe

$Q=Av$ is the volumetric flow rate, with $A=\pi r^2$ being the section of the tube and $v$ the velocity of the fluid

r is the radius of the pipe.

We can apply this law to the needle, and then calculating the pressure difference between point P and the end of the needle. For our problem, we have:

$\mu=0.001 Pa/s$ is the dynamic water viscosity at $20^{\circ}$

L=4.0 cm=0.04 m

$Q=Av=\pi r^2 v= \pi (1 \cdot 10^{-3}m)^2 \cdot 10 m/s =3.14 \cdot 10^{-5} m^3/s$

and r=1 mm=0.001 m

Using these data in the formula, we get:

$\Delta P = 3200 Pa$

However, this is the pressure difference between point P and the end of the needle. But the end of the needle is at atmosphere pressure, and therefore the gauge pressure (which has zero-reference against atmosphere pressure) at point P is exactly 3200 Pa.

Air flows through an adiabatic turbine that is in steady operation. The air enters at 150 psia, 900oF, and 350 ft/s and leaves a

Nonamiya [84]

Answer:

$1486.5\frac{Btu}{s}$

Explanation:

The inlet specific volume of air is given by:

$v_1=\frac{RT_1}{P_1}\\\\v_1=\frac{(0.3704\frac{psia.ft^3}{lbm.R})(1360R)}{150psia}\\\\v_1=3.358\frac{ft^3}{lbm} \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \...i$

The mass flow rates is expressed as:

$\dot m=\frac{1}{v_1}A_1V_1\\\\\dot m=\frac{1}{3.358ft^3/psia}(0.1ft^2)(350ft/s)\\\\\dot m=10.42\frac{lbm}{s}$

The energy balance for the system can the be expresses in the rate form as:

$E_{in}-E_{out}=\bigtriangleup \dot E=0\\\\E_{in}=E_{out}\\\\\dot m(h_1+0.5V_1^2)=\dot W_{out}+\dot m(h_2+0.5V_2^2)+Q_{out}\\\\\dot W_{out}=\dot m(h_2-h_1+0.5(V_2^2-V_1^2))=-m({cp(T_2-t_1)+0.5(V_2^2-V_1^2)})\\\\\\\dot W_{out}=-(10.42lbm/s)[(0.25\frac{Btu}{lbm.\textdegree F})(300-900)\textdegree F+0.5((700ft/s)^2-(350ft/s)^2)(\frac{1\frac{Btu}{lbm}}{25037ft^2/s^2})]\\\\\\\\=1486.5\frac{Btu}{s}$

Hence, the mass flow rate of the air is 1486.5Btu/s
