Chapter 13.2, Problem 1CC
An unknown amount of oxygen, kept in 8 piston-type cont8iner 8t a constant temperature was subjected to increasing pressure (P), in units of atmospheres, as the pressure (P) was increased, the resulting volume (V) was recorded in units of liters. We have found that a log-log plot aligns the data in a straight line. Using the figure, determine the mathematical equation for volume (V) m units of liters, and of a piston filled with an ideal gas subjected to increasing pressure (P) in units of atmospheres

- . I am planning to perform some volume-flow rate measurements in the Fluid Mechanics Laboratory. For this, I need a volumetric measuring tank (graduated cylinder) and a stopwatch. I considered the volume of the measured tank as 15 gallons and a stopwatch with reaction time as 1/10th of a second (though resolution of 1/1000th of a second). What is the volume flow rate if it takes 5 minutes to fill a 15-gallon of tank? Determine the smallest division to be on the tank in order to estimate the volume flow rate within an accuracy of ± 0.05 gpm.arrow_forwardIn 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_forwardAs we explained in earlier chapters, the air resistance to the motion of a vehicle is something important that engineers investigate. The drag force acting on a car is determined experimentally by placing the car in a wind tunnel. The air speed inside the tunnel is changed, and the drag force acting on the car is measured. For a given car, the experimental data generally is represented by a single coefficient that is called drag coefficient. It is defined by the following relationship: F, where air resistance for a car that has a listed C, = drag coefficient (unitless) measured drag force (N) drag coefficient of 0.4 and width of 190 cm and height of 145 cm.
