Transcribed Image Text:1.16 The trachea has a diameter of 18 mm; air flows through it at a linear velocity
of 80 cm/s. Each small bronchus has a diameter of 1.3 mm; air flows through
the small bronchi at a linear velocity of 15 cm/s. Calculate the volumetric flow
rate, mass flow rate, and molar flow rate of air through each of these regions
of the respiratory system. Also, calculate the Reynolds number for each com-
partment, given the formula:
Dvp
Re
where D is diameter, v is linear velocity, p is density, and pu is viscosity. The
viscosity of air is 1.84 × 10 g/(cm• s).

In order to calculate the quantity of ventilation air needed for habitation, we need considering: V The CO, production P m3/s, and for this example, of a sedentary adult. V The concentration Cs% of CO,% in outdoor air, and V The maximum threshold CO, concentration Cr% for the occupied space. Normally, P = 4.7x10-6 m³/s per person, Cs =0.03% and Cr =0.5%. %3D If the flow rate, Q m³/s is the rate of fresh air flowing through a room to provide acceptable conditions, a CO, balance can be made.arrow_forward
