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.

As blood is pumped from the heart, it moves through the ascending aorta and then down the descending thoracic aorta. The ascending aorta has an average cross-sectional area of approximately 7.07cm2, while the descending aorta has an average cross-sectional area of 4.52cm2. The heart pumps out blood at an average flow rate of 0.0800 L/s . Determine the average speed of blood through the ascending aorta:___cm/s Determine the average speed of blood through the descending aorta: ___cm/s
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.
A deep-sea diver should breathe a gas mixture that has the same oxygen partial pressure as at sea level, where dryair contains 20.9% oxygen and has a total pressure of 1.01×105 N/m2. (a) What is the partial pressure of oxygenat sea level? (b) If the diver breathes a gas mixture at a pressure of 2.00×106 N/m2, what percent oxygen shouldit be to have the same oxygen partial pressure as at sea level?
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
