5) In class, we showed that the temperature increases when gas is used to fill a tank. In
words a non-scientist and non-engineer family member or friend would understand, explain why
this happens. I encourage you to actually explain this to someone you know!
5. A human being has an average venous blood pressure of 12 mm Hg (Hg = mercury). The density of Hg (mercury) is 13,530 kg/m3. How high does a saline bag have to be raised to just barely
equal to that of the blood in the vein) of saline through a line and needle inserted into a person's vein? The density of saline is 1020

Problem 2:
A pump pumps 0.200 ft3/s of brine solution having a density of 1.15 g/cm3
from an open feed tank having a large cross-sectional area. The suction line
has an inside diameter of 3.548 inches and the discharge line from the pump a
diameter of 2.067 inches. The discharge flow goes to an open overhead tank and
the open end of this line is 75 feet above the liquid level in the feed tank. If
ft. lbf
the friction losses in the piping system are 18.0
what
pressure must the

pump develop and what is the horsepower of the pump if the efficiency is 70%?
The flow is turbulent.
