Determine the erythrocyte sedimentation rate assuming that the erythrocytes have a spherical shape with a diameter of 8 microns. Take the blood density 1060 kg/m3, the density of the substance of erythrocytes 1090 kg/m3.
1.16 The trachea has a diameter of 18 mm; air flows through it at a linear velocity of 80 cm/s. Each small bronchus has a diameter of 1.3 mm; air flows through the small bronchi at a linear velocity of 15 cm/s. Calculate the volumetric flow rate, mass flow rate, and molar flow rate of air through each of these regions of the respiratory system. Also, calculate the Reynolds number for each com- partment, given the formula: Dvp Re where D is diameter, v is linear velocity, p is density, and pu is viscosity. The viscosity of air is 1.84 × 10 g/(cm• s).
The volume flow rate of liquid refrigerant-134a at 10oF (ρ = 83.31 lbm/ft3) is to be measured with a horizontal Venturi meter with a diameter of 6 in at the inlet and 2 in at the If a differential pressure meter indicates a pressure drop of 7.5 psi, determine the flow rate of the refrigerant. Take the discharge coefficient of the Venturi meter to be 0.98.
Carbon dioxide is metered into an air conduit which is 12 sq ft in cross-sectional area at a constant rate of 7.0 lb per hour. A sample of the mixture downstream was analyzed by an Orsat apparatus and con- tained 11 and 1/2 per cent CO2, by volume. What is the air velocity?
A common cause of cardiovascular disease is atherosclerosis, the hardening and narrowing of arteries due to a buildup of plaque. For instance, significant narrowing in the coronary arteries, which bring oxygenated blood to the heart, can produce symptoms such as chest pain, dizziness, and breathlessness.

Take the density of blood to be ρ and the distance between the feet and the heart to be hH. Ignore the flow of blood. (a) Show that the difference in blood pressure between the feet and the heart is given by PF - PH = ρghH. (b) Take the density of blood to be 1.05 x 103 kg/m3 and the distance between the heart and the feet to be 1.20 m. Find the difference in blood pressure between these two points. This problem indicates that pumping blood from the extremities is very difficult for the heart. The veins in the legs have valves in them that open when blood is pumped toward the heart and close when blood flows away from the heart. Also, pumping action produced by physical activities such as walking and breathing assists the heart.
