Chapter 11, Problem 39P
Biomechanical engineers have developed micromechanical devices for measuring blood flow as an alternative to dye injection following angioplasty to remove arterial plaque. One experimental device consists of a 300-μm-diameter, 2.0-μm-thick silicon rotor inserted into blood vessels. Moving blood spins the rotor, whose rotation rate provides a measure of blood flow. This device exhibited an 800-rpm rotation rate in tests with water flows at several m/s. Treating the rotor as a disk, what was its

You have an internship working at a company that designs and produces washing and drying equipment. Your supervisor is in the process of designing a new, very large dryer to be used in commercial establishments with intense laundry needs, such as restaurants (tablecloths, napkins)
and hotels (sheets, towels). In a dryer, a cylindrical tub containing wet material is rotated steadily about a horizontal axis as shown in the figure below.
So that the material will dry uniformly, it is made to tumble. The rate of rotation of the smooth-walled tub is chosen so that a small piece of cloth will lose contact with the tub when the cloth is at an angle of e = 53.0° above the horizontal. Your supervisor's tub is designed to have a radius
of r = 1.28 m and she asks you to determine the appropriate rate of revolution. (Give your answer in rev/min.)
rev/min
Water with density 1000 kg/s enters a lawn sprinkler which is rotating at 500 RPM through its base at the steady rate of 1 L/s as shown. The exit area of each of the two nozzles is
30 mm^2 and the flow leaving each nozzle is in the tangential direction. The radius, r, from the axis of rotation to the centerline of each nozzle is 157 mm. The shaft torque in N.m
