8.8. Consider blood flow in a vessel (i.e., a pipe with a porous wall that is permeable to blood). The radius and length of the vessel are R and L, respectively. In general, the flow is axisymmetric, the fluid velocity has both radial and axial components that are usually determined numerically. However, there are two approximate solutions to this problem. One is to use lubrication theory to determine the relationship between the flow rate and the pressure gradient in the vessel is R<<L. The other is to estimate the axial velocity component by solving a standard problem of unidirectional flow in a pipe with an impermeable wall, but with a different kind of no-slip condition at the wall. The conventional no-slip condition is replaced by the equation: k1/2 (du/dr)= -a*u

where k is the specific hydraulic permeability of the wall, u is the axial velocity of the fluid, r is the radial coordinate, and a is a dimensionless quantity that depends on the microstructure of the porous wall. The value of a usually varies between 0.1 and 10 depending on the size of the pores in the pipe wall.

(a) Determine the axial velocity profile in the vessel using the second approach.

(b) Find the flow rate through the vessel

(c) Estimate the slip effect a on the pressure drop of the flow rate through the pipe

A vapor-compression heat pump with a heating capacity of 500 kJ/min is driven by a power cycle with a thermal efficiency of 30%. For the heat pump, Refrigerant 134a is compressed from saturated vapor at -10°C to the condenser pressure of 10 bar. The isentropic compressor efficiency is 80%. Liquid enters the expansion valve at 9.6 bar, 34°C. For the power cycle, 80% of the heat rejected is transferred to the heated space. (a) Determine the power input to the heat pump compressor, in kW (b) Evaluate the ratio of the total rate that heat is delivered to the heated space to the rate of heat input to the power cycle. Round answers to 3 significant digits.

1. The recorded wind speeds of a wind site are one-third of the year is at 15 mph, one-sixth
of the year is at 25 mph and the one-half of the year is at 20 mph. Determine the annual
average speed at this location. If the diameter of the wind turbine is 50 ft and annual
average power coefficient is 0.35, determine the amount power can be generated per year.
If the utility can pay $0.1 /kwh and the overall operating hours is about 2500 hours per
year and the wind turbine cost $45,000 with 30% tax incentive, how long will the system
be payback? (Air density = 0.0763 lb/ft3
