4. You have a lung model whose airway flow is 90 liters/minute. The pressure at one end of the airway is 40 cm H2O, and the pressure at the other end of the airway is 5 cm H2O. What is the value for airway resistance in this model (watch your units!)?
Airway resistance is the ratio of change in pressure to flow rate of air.
=Change in airway pressure/ flow f air
Airway flow =90 L/minute= 1.5 L/sec
Pressure at one end of airway= 40 Cm of H2O
Pressure at other end of airway= 5 Cm of H2O
Change in airway pressure= 40-5= 35 Cm of H2O
Airway resistance = Change in airway pressure / Flow of air
= 35/1.5= 23.3 Cm of H2O / sec

Suppose that you are filling an aquarium with a hose of radius 2 cm. You measure the volume flow rate and find that it is 5 L per minute. If all other factors remain constant, what would the flow rate be if you switched to a hose with a radius of 5 cm? Show the steps taken to find your answer.
1. (4 marks) A certain hose has a pressure drop vs flow function as follows: Po 0.2 Q2 where pressure drop (Po) is measured in psi and flow (Q) is measured in litres per minute Use EXCEL to create a table of values based on the above equation and plot the data on an EXCEL graph for values from 0 to 15 litres per minute in steps of 0.1 litres per minute. All of your formulas, tables and graphing should...
When you urinate, you increase pressure in your bladder to produce the flow. For an elephant, gravity does the work. An elephant urinates at a remarkable rate of 0.0060 m3 (a bit over a gallon and a half) per second. Assume that the urine exits 1.0 m below the bladder and passes through the urethra, which we can model as a tube of diameter 8.0 cm and length 1.2 m. Assume that urine has the same density as water, and...
Review Part A You have a lightweight spring whose unstretched length What is the magnitude of the charge (in nC) on each bead? Express your answer using two significant figures is 4.0 cm. First, you attach one end of the spring to the ceiling and hang a 2.4 g mass from it. This stretches the spring to a length of 5.3 cm. You then attach two small plastic beads to the opposite ends of the spring, lay the spring on...
You have a lightweight spring whose unstretched length is 4.0 cm. First, you attach one end of the spring to the ceiling and hang a 3.0 g mass from it. This stretches the spring to a length of 5.0 cm . You then attach two small plastic beads to the opposite ends of the spring, lay the spring on a frictionless table, and give each plastic bead the same charge. This stretches the spring to a length of 4.6 cm...
4) (3 pts) Assume that Company D's Free Cash Flow from assets has been estimated to be $80 million in 2020 and $90 million in 2021. The free cash flow is expected to grow at a constant rate of 5% after 2021. a) If the appropriate discount rate for Company D's FCF model is 7.7%, what is the horizon value at the end of 2021 for Company D using the Free Cash Flow Model? 2019 2020 2021 FCF $80 m...
6: (a) Use the scaling laws to estimate the change of volumetric flow and pressure drop per unit length in a circular tube if the radius of the tube is reduced by a factor of 10. The pressure drop in a capillary tube is given by AP- 8uVavg.Lia. Here, L length of tube, a is the radius, g is the average speed of fluid and u is the viscosity). (b) Evaluate the resistance per unit length (R/L) for water flow...
The purpose of this problem is to gain familiarity with stacks and queues. You have three jugs that can hold c1, c2, and c3 liters of water, respectively. Initially, jug 1 is full and the other two jugs are empty. You can repeat the following procedure any number of times: Choose two of the jugs and pour the contents of one into the other until either the first is empty or the second is full. Your goal is to end...
True or False: A nasopharyngeal airway (NPA) can be used on a semi-conscious or conscious individual, while an oropharyngeal airway (OPA) should only be used on an unconscious individual. True False True or False: An individual in PEA has an organized cardiac rhythm on ECG. True False True or False: Symptomatic bradycardia and poor perfusion may degrade into cardiac arrest. True False True or False: The definition of stable tachycardia is a fast but constant heart rate between 80 and...
i need #5 please! 1. I have 250 g of tea at 90°C in a light foam cup. I have some ice cubes at O'C, each with a mass of 10 g. How many should I add to my tea to make it drinkable? Explain your assumptions 2. A thermos will keep hot things hot or cold things cold by preventing the transfer of heat Explain how a thermos prevents each of the different kinds of heat transfer 3. I...
