The left ventricle of a resting adult's heart pumps blood at a flow rate of 83.0 cm3/s , increasing its pressure by 110 mm Hg, its speed from zero to 30.0 cm/s, and its height by 5.00 cm. (All cumbers are averaged over the entire heartbeat) Calculate the total power output of left ventricle. Note that most of the power is used to increase blood pressure.
Water supplied to a house by a water main has a pressure of 3.00105N/m2 early on a summer day when neighborhood use is low. This pressure produces a flow of 20.0 L/min through a garden hose. Later in the day, pressure at the exit of the water main and entrance to the house drops, and a flow of only 8.00 L/min is obtained through the same hose. (a) What pressure is now being supplied to the house, assuming resistance is constant? (b) By what factor did the flow rate be water main increase in order to cause this decrease in delivered pressure? The pressure at the entrance of the water main is 5.00105N/m2 , and the original rate was 200 L/min. (c) How many more users are there, assuming each would consume 20.0 L/min in be morning?

on the island, hydropower is expected to be extracted from a river of the river system via a pipe, 74 m long, to a turbine.During the dry season, from February to May the average daily flow rate of the river is 35 m3s-1 and for the remaining 8 months, the average daily flow rate of the water is 115 m3s-1. Assume, the initial capacity expenditure evaluated on a yearly basis of the run of a river system is $900 000, the annual operating cost is $17 500; and the density of water is 1000 kg ∙m-3.Considering the run of the river system above, determine(i) the energy potential at the source for one year,(ii) the levelized cost of electricity, and(iii) compare the LCOE value and the cost of electricity, and comment on the capital investment.
