Problem 26

A frequently quoted rule of thumb in aircraft design is that wings should produce about 1000 N of lift per square meter of wing. (The fact that a wing has a top and bottom surface does not double its area.) (a) At takeoff, an aircraft travels at 60.0 m/s, so that the air speed relative to the bottom of the wing is 60.0 m/s. Given the sea level density of air to be $1.29 \mathrm{kg} / \mathrm{m}^{3},$ how fast must it move over the upper surface to create the ideal lift? (b) How fast must air move over the
upper surface at a cruising speed of 245 m/s and at an altitude where air density is one-fourth that at sea level? (Note that this is not all of the aircraft's lift-some comes from the body of the plane, some from engine thrust, and so on. Furthermore, Bernoulli's principle gives an approximate answer because flow over the wing creates turbulence.)

Gasoline is piped underground from refineries to major users. The flow rate is $3.00 \times 10^{-2} \mathrm{m}^{3} / \mathrm{s}$ (about 500 $\mathrm{gal} /$ min), the viscosity of gasoline is $1.00 \times 10^{-3}\left(\mathrm{N} / \mathrm{m}^{2}\right) \cdot \mathrm{s}$ and its density is 680 $\mathrm{kg} / \mathrm{m}^{3}$ . (a) What minimum diameter must the pipe have if the Reynolds number is to be less than 2000? (b) What pressure difference must be maintained along each kilometer of the pipe to maintain this flow rate?

Problem 60

Assuming that blood is an ideal fluid, calculate the critical flow rate at which turbulence is a certainty in the aorta. Take the diameter of the aorta to be 2.50 cm. (Turbulence will actually occur at lower average flow rates, because blood is not an ideal fluid. Furthermore, since blood flow pulses, turbulence may occur during only the high-velocity part of each heartbeat.)

Unreasonable Results
A fairly large garden hose has an internal radius of 0.600 cm and a length of 23.0 m. The nozzleless horizontal hose is attached to a faucet, and it delivers 50.0 L/s. (a) What water pressure is supplied by the faucet? (b) What is unreasonable about this pressure? (c) What is unreasonable about the premise? (d) What is the Reynolds number for the given flow? (Take the viscosity of water as $1.005 \times 10^{-3}\left(\mathrm{N} / \mathrm{m}^{2}\right) \cdot \mathrm{s} . )$

Problem 62

You can smell perfume very shortly after opening the bottle. To show that it is not reaching your nose by diffusion, calculate the average distance a perfume molecule moves in one second in air, given its diffusion constant $D$ to be $1.00 \times 10^{-6} \mathrm{m}^{2} / \mathrm{s}$

Problem 63

What is the ratio of the average distances that oxygen will diffuse in a given time in air and water? Why is this distance less in water (equivalently, why is D less in water)?

Problem 64

Oxygen reaches the veinless cornea of the eye by diffusing through its tear layer, which is 0.500-mm thick. How long does it take the average oxygen molecule to do this?

Problem 65

(a) Find the average time required for an oxygen molecule to diffuse through a 0.200-mm-thick tear layer on the cornea.
(b) How much time is required to diffuse 0.500 $\mathrm{cm}^{3}$ of oxygen to the cornea if its surface area is 1.00 $\mathrm{cm}^{2} ?$

Problem 66

Suppose hydrogen and oxygen are diffusing through air. A small amount of each is released simultaneously. How much time passes before the hydrogen is 1.00 s ahead of the oxygen? Such differences in arrival times are used as an analytical tool in gas chromatography.
