As a person inhales, air moves down the windpipe (bronchus), through a constriction where the air speed doubles. If the air is travelling 13 cm/s before the constriction and we treat air as an incompressible fluid,
determine the pressure drop in the constriction. Use the density
of air as 1.29 kg/m3.
Pa
From the question the initial speed of the air is v1 = 13 cm/s =
0.13 m/s
final speed of the air flow is v2 = 2*v1 = 2*0.13 = 0.26 m/s
density of air is ρ = 1.29 kg/m ^3
Using Bernouli's theoremP1+(1/2)ρ(v1)2 =P2+(1/2)ρ(v2)2
So pressure drop P1-P2 =(1/2)ρ(v2)2 -(1/2)ρ(v1)2
-----1
putting the values in equation 1 and solve for P1 -P2 .
P1 -P2 = (1/2)*1.29*[(0.26)^2 -( 0.13 )^2]
=
0.033 Pa

When a person inhales, air with mass density 1.30 kg/m3 at one atmosphere of pressure 1.013 x 10^5 N 1 m2 moves down the bronchus (windpipe) at 11 cm/s. The average flow speed of the air doubles through a constriction in the bronchus. Assuming incompressible flow, determine the pressure drop in the constriction.

2 A paint sprayer pumps air through a constriction in a 0.025- m diameter pipe, as shown in the figure. The flow causes the pressure in the constricted area to drop and paint rises up the feed tube and enters the air stream. The speed of the air stream in the 0.025-m diameter sections is 5.00 m/s. The density of the air is 1.29 kg/m3, and the density of the paint is 1200 kg/m3. We can treat the...
An incompressible fluid is flowing through a vertical pipe with a constriction. The wide section is 2.00 cm in diameter and is at the top of the pipe. The pressure of the fluid in the wide section at the top is 200 kPa. The velocity of the fluid in the wide section is 4.00 m/s. The narrow section is located 2.00 m below the wide section. What is the diameter of the narrow section, if the pressure of the fluid...
In a section of horizontal pipe with a diameter of 4.0 cm, the pressure is 47 kPa and water is flowing with a speed of 2.0 m/s. The pipe narrows to 2.0 cm. What is the pressure in the narrower region? Treat the water as an ideal incompressible fluid. The density of water is 1000 kg/m3 . (1 kPa = 1000 Pa)
Air flows through the venturi constriction as shown in the figure below. A low-pressure region is created in the constriction, which causes ethyl alcohol to be drawn into the air stream. The air is then discharged into the atmosphere. Determine the smallest discharge of air required to make this happen. Use ρ-789 kg/m 3 and ρ,-1.225 kg/m3 200 mm 20 mm φ Ethyl aloohol Air

For a smooth sphere with a 14 cm diameter thrown through air (air density of 1.25 kg/m3, air viscosity 1.83*10-5 Pa-s), what is the speed (in cm/s) when the Reynoldsnumber is 3,005?
A liquid of density 1.29 Ý 103 kg/m3 flows steadily through a pipe of varying diameter and height. At location 1 along the pipe the flow speed is 9.07 m/s and the pipe diameter is 11.1 cm. At location 2 the pipe diameter is 15.7 cm. At location 1 the pipe is 9.11 m higher than it is at location 2. Ignoring viscosity, calculate the difference between the fluid pressure at location 2 and the fluid pressure at location 1.
Fluid Problem
Before Fuel Injection. Some automobile engines (mainly older ones) use a carburetor to turn the liquid fuel into vapor and mix it with air for combustion. The basic principle of carburetion is shown in Figure P10.82. A piston moves down in the cylinder thereby moving air from the outside through the carburetor by way of an air filter and into the carburetor. The filtered air enters from the left of Figure P10.82 and moves into the main intake,...
