One of the most common appliances used on a daily basis is the hair dryer. A hair dryer is basically a
duct in which a few layers of electric resistors are placed. A small fan at the back of the device pulls
the air in and forces it through the resistors where it is heated (see Fig. 1).
The power consumed by the heating elements (i.e. electric resistors) of the hair dryer is 1258 Watts.
Air enters the hair dryer at 95 kPa and 25°C and leaves at 50°C. The cross-sectional area of the hair
dryer at the exit is 55 cm². The power consumed by the fan is 2 Watts and the heat loss through the
walls of the hair dryer is 5 Watts. By clearly stating your assumptions throughout,
1.Analytically describe the Fluid Mechanics and Thermodynamics working principles of the
hairdryer;
2. Provide a schematic diagram of the hair dryer clearly indicating the system's boundaries,
mass flows and energy/heat flows;
3. Determine the volumetric flow rate of the air at the inlet;
4. Determine the velocity of the…

The human heart pumps the average adult's 6.0 liters (6000 cm3) of blood through the body every minute. The heart must do work to overcome frictional forces that resist blood flow. The average blood pressure is 1.3x104 N/m² a) How much work does the heart do to move the 6.0 liters of blood completely through the body? b) What power output must the have to do this task once a minute? Hint: When the heart contracts, it applies a force to the blood. Pressure is force/area. Model the circulatory system as a single closed tube, with crosssectional area A and volume V=6.0 liters, filled with blood to which the heart applies a force.arrow_forward
