Applying Dimensional Analysis to the human anatomy studies, it was found that the velocity, c, at which pressure pulses travel through arteries is a function of the artery diameter, D, and wall thickness, h, the density of blood, p, and the modulus of elasticity, E, of the arterial wall. (i) Perform a dimensional analysis for this study showing all the steps using the density of blood, p, artery diameter, D, and the modulus of elasticity, E, as the repeating variables in either FLT system or MLT system. (ii) Atherosclerosis is the thickening of the arteries caused by a build-up of plaque in the inner lining of an artery. With the aid of dimensional analysis, determine how the velocity will change if the wall thickness is doubled while keeping all other parameters constant.

Dimensional analysis is to be used to correlate data on bubble size with the properties of the liquid when gas bubbles are formed by a gas issuing from a small orifice below the liquid surface. Assume that the significant variables are bubble diameter D, orifice diameter d, liquid density rho, surface tension sigma (in N/m), liquid viscosity mu, and g. Select d, rho, and g as the core variables.

Evaluate the use of dimensionless analysis using the Buckingham Pi Theorem for a given fluid flow system (D4) , where resistance tomotion ‘R’ for a sphere of diameter ‘D’ moving at constant velocity on the surface of a liquid is due to the density ‘ρ’ and the surfacewaves produced by the acceleration of gravity ‘g’. The dimensionless quantity linking these quantities is Ne= Function (Fr). To do thisyou must apply dimensional analysis to fluid flow system given in Figure 1 (P11). PICTURE IS ALSO ATTACHED
