CELEBRATINGEINSTEINMarch 31 - April 23, 2017
Over 100 years ago, Einstein predicted gravitational waves,
and we are just beginning to detect them now.
You are invited to join our interdisciplinary celebration
to understand the beauty and significance of these transformative discoveries about our universe.

Volume flow rate
Thinking about rates…
Rates and fluid flow
A drooly ruminant
Cows sometimes eat small rocks and particulates! Water (an “ideal fluid”) moves rapidly, and water/saliva help flush these
materials from their stomachs.
A cow swallows about 100 Liters (0.1 m3) of saliva each day. Assuming cow swallows it all, what is the volume flow rate
(volume per unit time) of saliva into the cow?
A. 0.1 m3/s B. 1.2 x 10-3 m3/s C. 1.2 x 10-6 m3/s
Units of volume flow rate:
m3/sQ94
• Non-viscous fluid (no internal friction.)Note: Honey is viscous. Mud is viscous. Water is not. Blood SHOULDN’T be viscous!
• Density is constant.
• Fluid motion is steady.
• No turbulence in the fluid.

AneurysmsIs the blood flow faster in a normal blood
vessel or in a blood vessel with aneurysm?
saccular aneurysm
fusiform aneurysm
A. Normal blood vesselB. AneurysmC. Same in healthy and aneurysed vesselD. Not enough information to determine
Q95
Bernoulli’s PrincipleIf volume flow rate is constant,
and conservation of energy applies to fluids, then…
P1 + 1/2 ρv12 + ρgy1 =
P2 + 1/2 ρv22 + ρgy2
P1, v1, y1
P2, v2, y2
As height increases, pressure decreases.
higher P
lower P
As speed increases, pressure decreases.
higher P lower P
An important consequenceAs a fluid goes through a region where it changes
speed or height, the pressure of the fluid will change.
P1 + 1/2 ρv12 + ρgy1 =
P2 + 1/2 ρv22 + ρgy2
CAREFUL!!!
Careful!….Counter-intuitive!
P1 + 1/2 ρv12 + ρgy1 =
P2 + 1/2 ρv22 + ρgy2
AneurysmsIs the PRESSURE higher in a normal blood
vessel or in region with aneurysm?

Q96
Bernoulli’s Most Important Implication.
A slow-moving fluid exerts more pressure than a fast-moving fluid
(depends also on elevation of volume flow).
Consider a house with a very thin (Δy ~ 0), flat roof of area 148.6 square meters. During a hurricane with winds of 140
mph (62.6 m/s), what is the net force on the roof?

Airplane wings!
Faster air over
Slower air under
Higher pressure under the wing creates LIFT!
