1) At any time, approximately 20 volcanoes are actively erupting on the Earth, and 50–70 volcanoes erupt each year. Over the past 100 years, an average of 850 people have died each year from volcano eruptions. As scientists and engineers study the mechanics of lava flow, accurately predicting the flow rate (velocity) of the lava is critical to saving lives after an eruption. Jeffrey's equation captures the relationship between flow rate and viscosity as: V = Pgt“ sin(æ) 3µ Flow – 28 cm 10 where p is the density of the lava, g is gravity, t is the flow thickness, a is the slope, and u is the lava viscosity. Typical values are given as follows for the flow rate: u= 4x103 kg/(m.s) ±1% p= 2.5 g/cm³ ±1% t= 28 cm +0.5 cm a= 10° ±1 ° g= 9.81 m/s? Determine the likely maximum possible error in the calculated value of the flow rate.

Cakulate the time rate of change of air density during expiration Assume that the lung (Fig. 3.11) has a total volume of 6000 ml, the diameter of the trachea is 18 mm, the airflow velocity out of the trachea is 20 cm/s, and the density of air is 1.225 kg/m. Also assume that lung volume is decreasing at a rate of 100 mL/s. Hello sir, I want the same solution, but in a detailed way and mention his data, a question, and a solution in detailing mathematics without words. Solution We will start from Eq. (3.24) because we are asked for the time rate of change of density. We are asked to find the time rate of change of air density; this suggests that Example 3.5 condis tions are representing a nonsteady flow scenario.

2. Casson model was discussed in class in the context of blood rheology. This phenomenological model is often used to describe the shear stress vs. shear rate relationship in colloidal suspensions where particle aggregation might cause the measured viscosity to increase at low shear rates. In an experiment, data for the shear stress and the applied shear rate S were fitted to the Casson model written below (in a slightly different form compared to that given in the lecture notes): √t = √²₁+√as. (1) The best least square fit parameters to the experimental data were found to be 40 mPa for the yield stress to and 2.5 mPa s for the parameter a, which is referred to as the plastic viscosity. a. Using Eq. (1), derive an expression for the fluid viscosity u as a function of S. b. Plot the viscosity of the fluid as a function of S for 0.1s¹ ≤S≤ 10 s¹. c. Based on class discussion on fluid classification, how would you characterize this fluid?
In medical literatures, local blood perfusion rate is typically presented as xx ml/(min 100g tissue), in another word, it represents xx ml of blood supplied to a tissue mass of 100 g per minute to satisfy its nutritional needs. As we learned from the course lectures, the local blood perfusion rate appearing in the Pennes bioheat equation is in a unit of 1/s, or can be interpreted as xx ml of blood supplied to a tissue volume of 1 ml per second. The following lists the blood perfusion rates in various organs or structures in a human body from medical textbooks: brain (50 ml/(min 100g tissue)), kidney (35 ml/(min 100g tissue)), and muscle at rest (3 ml/(min 100g tissue)). Please convert the above local blood perfusion rates into values with the unit of 1/s, therefore, they can be used in the Pennes bioheat equation. The tissue density in a human body is 1050 kg/m³.
**Problem 1.15 Suppose you wanted to describe an unstable particle, that spon- taneously disintegrates with a "lifetime" t. In that case the total probability of finding the particle somewhere should not be constant, but should decrease at (say) an exponential rate: too P(t) = | V(x,1)1²dx = e=1/*. -0- A crude way of achieving this result is as follows. In Equation 1.24 we tacitly assumed that V (the potential energy) is real. That is certainly reasonable, but it leads to the "conservation of probability" enshrined in Equation 1.27. What if we assign to V an imaginary part: V = Vo – ir, where Vo is the true potential energy and r is a positive real constant? (a) Show that (in place of Equation 1.27) we now get dP 21 = --P. dt (b) Solve for P(1), and find the lifetime of the particle in terms of r.
59. To help prevent frost damage, fruit growers sometimes protect their crop by spraying it with water when overnight temperatures are expected to go below freezing. When the water turns to ice during the night, heat is released into the plants, thereby giving a measure of protection against the cold. Suppose a grower sprays 7.2 kg of water at 0 °C onto a fruit tree. (a) How much heat is released by the water when it freezes? (b) How much would the temperature of a 180-kg tree rise if it absorbed the heat released in part (a)? Assume that the specific heat capacity of the tree is
A physics lab consists of a large ball attached to a wire. Students hold on to one end of the wire, then whirl the ball around in circles and count the number of rotations per second. One group finds these numbers: ball mass= 320 gram, wire length= 1.3m, number of rotations/sec=2.5. The wire is made of steel with a diameter of 1mm and a Young's modulus of 20x10^10 N/m^2.How much does the wire stretch due to the tension on it? Should the students correct their data for the wire stretching?
a) Vortex shedding is a common fluid flow problem across bluff bodies. The design of buildings and bridges take into account the analysis of vortex shedding phenomena to avoid the occurrence of resonance, where the natural frequency of the body matches the vortex shedding frequency. In this analysis, the following parameters are found to be important: velocity of flow (V), density of fluid (p), hydraulic diameter of the duct (D₁), dynamic viscosity of fluid (u), width of body (B) and the vortex shedding frequency (n). Using the method of repeating variables, find the non-dimensional relationship governing the phenomena.
