In a major human artery with an internal diameter of 5mm, the flow of blood, averaged over the cardiac cycle is 5cm3·s−1. The ar

tery bifurcates (splits) into two identical blood vessels that are each 3mm in diameter. What are the average velocity and the mass flow rate upstream and downstream of the bifurcation? The density of blood is 1.06g·cm−3

Answer:

  see attached

Explanation:

Assuming flow is uniform across the cross section of the artery, the mass flow rate is the product of the volumetric flow rate and the density.

  (5 cm³/s)(1.06 g/cm³) = 5.3 g/s

If we assume the blood splits evenly at the bifurcation, then the downstream mass flow rate in each artery is half that:

  (5.3 g/s)/2 = 2.65 g/s

__

The average velocity will be the ratio of volumetric flow rate to area. Upstream, that is ...

  (5 cm³/s)/(π(0.25 cm)²) ≈ 25.5 cm/s

Downstream, we have half the volumetric flow and a smaller area.

  (2.5 cm³/s)/(π(0.15 cm)²) ≈ 35.4 cm/s

A hollow pipe is submerged in a stream of water so that the length of the pipe is parallel to the velocity of the water. If the
Arlecino [84]

Answer:

increases by a factor of 6.

Explanation:

Let us assume that the initial cross sectional area of the pipe is A m² while the initial velocity of the water is V m/s², hence the flow rate of the water is:

Initial flow rate = area * velocity = A * V = AV m³/s

The water speed doubles (2V m/s) and the cross-sectional area of the pipe triples (3A m²), hence the volume flow rate becomes:

Final flow rate = 2V * 3A = 6AV m³/s = 6 * initial flow rate

Hence, the volume flow rate of the water passing through it increases by a factor of 6.

With reference to the NSPE Code of Ethics, which one of the following statements is true regarding the ethical obligations of th
34kurt

Answer: c. The VW engineers involved were ethically obligated to hold paramount the health, welfare and safety of the public even if their supervisors directed them to implement software and hardware that enabled cheating on the emissions testing software.

Explanation: The National Society of professional Engineers, NSPE define the code of ethics which must guide engineers in their duty. These codes act as principles of personal conduct, towards the public and their employers.  

One of the areas covered by these codes is overriding importance of the safety and health of the public to any other factor. In addition, engineers are to avoid deception and maintain the reputation of their profession. These cannot be sacrificed for the financial gain of their employers or explained away by saying they are following the direction of their employers. While they have certain responsibilities to their employers, the health welfare and safety of the public is more important.
