The heart is supplied with 5L/min of blood from the vena cava (assume one pipe with a diameter of 20cm). The aorta discharges the heart and has a diameter of 26cm. Determine the pressure drop across the heart if it delivers 4uW during the process into the system. Density of blood 1050 kg/m3

The large blood vessel leading from the human heart, the aorta, has an inside diameter of 1.0 cm and a length of 40 cm. The flowing blood (SG = 1.06) has a viscosity of 3.5 CP and an average velocity of 60 cm/s. Find the pressure drop across the aorta, if it is (a) horizontal, (b) vertical with upward flow, and (c) vertical with downward flow.

The human circulatory system delivers oxygenated blood from the lungs throughout the human body to enable the transport to and from body cells of oxygen, carbon dioxide, nutrients, hormones and blood cells. A variety of sizes of arteries and veins are required to ful?l this need. (a) A typical heartbeat pumps 75 mL of blood over a time span of 0.36 seconds into the aorta. If under this pressure the aorta expands to a diameter of 4.2 mm, what is...

Air is to be cooled in the evaporator section of a refrigerator by passing it over a bank of 0.8-cm-outer-diameter and 0.8-m-long tubes inside which the refrigerant is evaporating at −20°C. Air approaches the tube bank in the normal direction at 0°C and 1 atm with a mean velocity of 9 m/s. The tubes are arranged in-line with longitudinal and transverse pitches of SL  =  ST  = 1.5 cm. There are 25 rows in the flow direction with 15 tubes...
