Question

When you inhale, air flows through the
turbinate bones of your nasal passages
as shown. Assume that for a short
length of 15 mm, the flow is passing
through parallel plates, the plates
having a total mean width of w = 20 mm
and spacing of a = 1 mm. If the lungs
produce a pressure drop of ∆p = 50 Pa, and the air has a temperature of 20° C,
determine the power needed to inhale air. At T = 20° C, ρa = 1.202 kg/m3 and µa =
18.1(10-6) N.s/m2.
