Chapter 1, Problem 1.30P
Consider the milk container of Example 1.4.2 (Figure 1.4.7). A straw 19 cm long was inserted in the side of the container. While adjusting the tap flow to keep the water height constant, the time for the outflow to fill a 250-ml cup was measured. This was repeated for several heights. The data are given in the following table.
Obtain a functional description of the volume outflow rate f through the straw as a function of water height h above the hole.

A pipe 200 (mm) diameter carries Oil at a
flow rate of 0.030 (m³/s). The pipe
diameter reduces from 200 (mm) to 150
(mm). Point 1 is located at the beginning
of the pipe and point 2 is located at the end
of the pipe. Elevation of point 1 is 165 (m)
lower than elevation of point 2. Water
pressure at point 2 is atmospheric pressure.
Water flow in the pipe ascending from
point 1 to point 2. Total head losses of
flow in the pipe equals to 15 (m).

Suppose the design criteria are as follows: The air density as surveyed after 2 year period averaged at 1.225 kg / cubic meter. The sweeping diameter of the rotor blades is 125m, and the anemometer reading in the area amounts to 4.2m/s on a 2 year period of survey. What is the theoretical power output of the turbine assuming 100% efficiency of operation? Your answer must be in kW and in two decimal places with correct signs.

- In medical literatures, local blood perfusion rate is typically presented as xx ml/(min 100g tissue), in another word, it represents xx ml of blood supplied to a tissue mass of 100 g per minute to satisfy its nutritional needs. As we learned from the course lectures, the local blood perfusion rate appearing in the Pennes bioheat equation is in a unit of 1/s, or can be interpreted as xx ml of blood supplied to a tissue volume of 1 ml per second. The following lists the blood perfusion rates in various organs or structures in a human body from medical textbooks: brain (50 ml/(min 100g tissue)), kidney (35 ml/(min 100g tissue)), and muscle at rest (3 ml/(min 100g tissue)). Please convert the above local blood perfusion rates into values with the unit of 1/s, therefore, they can be used in the Pennes bioheat equation. The tissue density in a human body is 1050 kg/m³.arrow_forwardThe left and right water edges of a river are 2.75m and 62.45m, respectively, from an initial reference point.
