Air flows isentropically at the rate of 1 kg/s through a duct. At one section of the duct the cross-sectional area is 9.3 X 10-3 m², static pressure is 200 kPa, and stagnation temperature is 550 K. Determine the velocity of the stream and the minimum area at the exit of the duct that causes no reduction in the mass rate of flow.

What is the greatest average speed of blood flow at 37°C in an artery of radius 2.50 mm if the flow is to remain laminar? Take the density of blood to be 1025 kg/m3, and the viscosity to be 2.084 × 10-3 Pa.s. What is the corresponding flow rate?
Air and oil with a temperature of 25 °C are flowing through a horizontal pipe with an inner diameter 1.5 in at a volumetric flow rate of Qc = 31 L/min and QL respectively. The pressure inside the pipe is kept at 44.1 psia. According to the Baker map, what = 0.34 L/min, is the flow pattern of this flow? Here, the density and viscosity of oil are p, = 860 kg/m° and 1.72 x 102 Pa - s, and the surface tension is o = 0.030 N/m.
At 20°C, the viscosity of water is 1.0x10-3 Pa-s and the viscosity of molasses is 51 Pa-s. Consider two tubes of the same length L, with fixed pressure difference Ap across each pipe. If water flows through Pipe 1 and molasses flows through Pipe 2, and both have the same flow rate Q, what is the ratio of the radius of Pipe 2 to Pipe 1?
A water tank filled with solar-heated water at 40°C is to be used for showers in a field using gravity-driven flow. The system includes 35 m of 1.5-cm-diameter galvanized iron piping with four miter bends (90°) without vanes and a wide-open globe valve. If water is to flow at a rate of 1.2 L/s through the shower head, determine how high the water level in the tank must be from the exit level of the shower. Disregard the losses at the entrance and at the shower head, and neglect the effect of the kinetic energy correction factor.
Calculate the Reynolds numbers for the flow of water through a nozzle with a radius of 0.270 cm and a garden hose with a radius of 0.940 cm, when the nozzle is attached to the hose. The flow rate through hose and nozzle is 0.485 L/s. (Assume the temperature of the water is 20°C.) (a) a nozzle with a radius of 0.270 cm Can the flow possibly be laminar? Yes No (b) a garden hose with a radius of 0.940 cm Can the flow possibly be laminar? Yes No
Prairie dogs are burrowing rodents. They do not suffocate in their burrows, because the effect of air speed on pressure creates sufficient air circulation. The animals maintain a difference in the shapes of two entrances to the burrow, and because of this difference, the air blows past the openings at different speeds, as the drawing indicates. Assuming that the openings are at the same vertical level, find the difference in air pressure between the openings and indicate which way the air circulates. Vg = 1.1 m/s VA = 8.5 m/s

alculate the mass flow rate (in grams per second) of blood (?=1.0ρ=1.0 g/cm33) in an aorta with a cross-sectional area of 2.0 cm22 if the flow speed is 31.6 cm/s.

A certain part of cast iron piping of a water distribution system involves a parallel section. Both parallel pipes have a diameter of 30 cm, and the flow is fully turbulent. One of the branches (pipe A) is 1500 m long while the other branch (pipe B) is 2500 m long. If the flow rate through pipe A is 0.4 m3/s, determine the flow rate through pipe B. Disregard minor losses and assume the water temperature to be 15°C. Show that the flow is fully rough, and thus the friction factor is independent of Reynolds number.
