Your first task is to make measurements on the flow of blood plasma through your prototype. The device specifications require that 37°C plasma flow into the device pass through a bank of 100 tubes (0.2mm diameter), then exit the device. The total flow rate for the device must be 800 ml min^-1. If you want to maintain a pressure drop across each tube below 100 pascals, what is the maximum length of the tube in centimeters?arrow_forwardThe concentration of salt ? g/L in homemade soap is given as a function of time as follows: ??/dt = (0.37? − 0.03)? At the initial time, ? = 0 minute, the salt concentration is 20 g/L. Choose a step size in a range of 1 < h ≤ 1.5 minutes for the interval from 0 to 8h minutes and apply THREE (3) numerical methods to compute the salt concentration. Select the best numerical method to estimate the salt concentration and justify your answer. method 1: ruler's methodarrow_forward

- Your professor has recruited you to work in her lab to help her win the Nobel Prize. It is critical that your work be as accurate as possible. Rather than using the stated volumes of glassware in the lab, you decide to calibrate each piece. An empty 10-mL volumetric flask weighed 10.263 4 g. When filled to the mark with distilled water at 208C, it weighed 20.214 4 g. What is the true volume of the flask?arrow_forward1. To determine the dynamic viscosity of a liquid you take repeated measurements of the liquid density and kinematic viscosity. These data are summarized in the following table: Avg. measurement Total Uncertainty P 999 kg/m³ ±0.5% V 1.23 mm²/s ±0.01 mm²/s kg Ns What is the dynamic viscosity?

- 2. Casson model was discussed in class in the context of blood rheology. This phenomenological model is often used to describe the shear stress vs. shear rate relationship in colloidal suspensions where particle aggregation might cause the measured viscosity to increase at low shear rates. In an experiment, data for the shear stress and the applied shear rate S were fitted to the Casson model written below (in a slightly different form compared to that given in the lecture notes): √t = √²₁+√as. (1) The best least square fit parameters to the experimental data were found to be 40 mPa for the yield stress to and 2.5 mPa s for the parameter a, which is referred to as the plastic viscosity. a. Using Eq. (1), derive an expression for the fluid viscosity u as a function of S. b. Plot the viscosity of the fluid as a function of S for 0.1s¹ ≤S≤ 10 s¹. c.

As you may also know, the drag force acting on a car is determined experimentally by placing the car in a wind tunnel. For a given car, the experimental data is generally represented by a single coefficient that is called the drag coefficient. It is given by the relationship: Cd = Fd/(1/2)pV2A. What is the appropriate unit for Cd if the preceding equation is to be homogeneous in units?arrow_forward.(b).
