The heart is supplied with 5 L/min of blood from the superior vena cava at point 1, which has a diameter of 24 mm. The ascending aorta discharges the heart at point 2 and has a diameter of 29 mm. Determine the pressure drop across the heart if it generates 4 μW (W = J/s = kg-m²/s³) during the process into the system with an efficiency is 70%, which reflects among, other things, friction losses.

The heart is supplied with 5 L/min of blood from the superior vena cava at point 1,
which has a diameter of 24 mm.
The ascending aorta discharges the heart at point 2 and has a diameter of 29 mm.
Determine the pressure drop across the heart if it generates 4 µW (W = J/s =
kg-m2/s3) during the process into the system with an efficiency is 70%, which
reflects among, other things, friction losses.
