- A glucose solution being administered with an IV has a flow rate of 2.34 cm3/min. What will the new flow rate be (in cm3/min) if the glucose is replaced by whole blood having the same density but a viscosity 2.70 times that of the glucose?

Determine the mass flow rate (in g/s) of blood. g/s (b) If this aorta branches to a number of capillaries which have a combined cross-sectional area of 2.6 x 10³ cm², determine the flow speed (in cm/s) of the blood in the capillaries. cm/sarrow_forwardLocal authorities of Ankara built a basin as cylindrical tank with an upper diameter D1 = 1500m, lower diameter D2 = 750m and height H = 25m, in Ankara as shown in the figure. Nowadays we face out drought periods, the water height in the basin is at the level of 9 m. This value should not fall below 5 m (critical point). Regional officials estimate that the consumption rate in the city is 71620 m / day from the pipe with 2 m in diameter, and the water inlet flow rate from various source (rainfall, current) to the basin will be 150000 m3/ day. The independent variable shows the time in t days, and how long does the water level in the tank (basin) reach the critical value?(ρ = 1000kg / m3)arrow_forward
- When physicians diagnose arterial blockages, they quote the reduction in flow rate. If the flow rate in an artery has been reduced to 14.3% of its normal value by a blood clot and the average pressure difference has increased by 23.0%, by what factor has the clot reduced the radius, ro, of the artery? r= roarrow_forwardIn the hydraulic system, the piston on the left hasa diameter of 5.1 cm and a mass of 2.3 kg.
