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.

v = Δx/tVelocity
a = Δv/tAcceleration
= Volume through a surface per time
Volume flow rate
Thinking about rates…
I wanted to point out the concept of a rate: the change in something over time. We’ve previously talked about velocity (change in distance over time), acceleration (change in velocity over time). Today we’ll be talking about a VOLUME FLOW RATE, so volume per second (show different versions of this in terms of density and area and velocity).
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
I know a lot of you are doing nutrition (either cows or humans). I encourage you to ask your profs about how fluid dynamics operates in cow nutrition, but here’s what I came up with.Ruminants, or cows, produce tons of saliva. Published estimates for adult cows are in the range of 100 to 150 liters of saliva per day! Water/saliva flows through the rumen rapidly and appears to be critical in flushing particulate matter downstream.
This is about 1 cubic centimeter per second! They’d have to drool a lot or swallow a lot… No wonder cows are so drooly. Anyways the point is: volume flow rate is the amount of volume that goes through some barrier per unit time. We will use this later.
• 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.
Assumptions Today
There are a few limiting assumptions we’ll use today. All of these make our analysis of fluid flows a lot more simplified in terms of mathematics.We’ll be talking about something called “Laminar” or “Streamline” flows.The book (in unassigned reading the rest of this chapter) treats other more complex fluid flows, including viscosity.
Rate of mass in

timeVolume 21 =
If the flow rate is constant, the mass going in for each time interval has to equal the mass coming out. This leads to the realization that the VOLUME FLOW RATE at two different points in the pipe should be the same. So WHAT DOES THIS MEAN?This means as much volume as you push in should come out in the same amount of time.

Therefore, the amount of volume going passing through one end of the pipe at a given time will be the same amount of volume coming out. You can see that we can write the volume passing through the tube at a given time as A delta x. [LIGHT BOARD DERIVATION]THIS PRODUCT A v IS CALLED THE VOLUME FLOW RATE or the VOLUME FLUX, JUST LIKE WE DID EARLIER. Basically, it tells you that if the cross-sectional area of a channel or pipe is larger, you get slower flow. Smaller channels/pipes get faster flow.
“Continuity” EquationFlow rate is FASTER if pushed through a smaller
cross-sectional area.
A1v1 = A2v2
This is called the continuity equation, and it’s really cool! If you know the volume of fluid flowing into or out of a channel, you can determine the velocity of that fluid at any point along the channel. Big tubes have low velocity, small tubes have high velocity.[See light board notes for proportionality]There are a lot of applications where this applies! Plumbing, watering your garden, circulation, GI track.
What do you do if your garden hose does not reach all of your plants?
A1v1 = A2v2
Physics!
Covering part of the hose opening makes the water flow through a smaller cross-sectional area, so the water must flow faster. PHYSICS! It’s all around us if you take the time to think about it!
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
It’s also inside of us. In an aneurysm, your blood vessel gets bulged out. I’d like you to tell me, where is the velocity faster?ANSWER: A.Again I encourage you to ask your nutrition profs about fluid dynamics in the circulatory and GI system.
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
We’re not going to go through the derivation but you can see it in the book. If you take the continuity equation, and apply conservation of energy principles to the fluid, then you can show that for two different points in a fluid flow, the PRESSURE plus the KINETIC ENERGY PER VOLUME plus the POTENTIAL ENERGY PER VOLUME will be the same. So if you have a pressure, velocity, and height for one section of the pipe, this will relate with this equation to the change in those values at another point in the pipe.
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!!!
One very important consequence of this, and the one that is most used in typical analyses, is understanding that as a fluid goes through a region where it changes speed OR it changes height, the pressure of the fluid will change.
Careful!….Counter-intuitive!
P1 + 1/2 ρv12 + ρgy1 =
P2 + 1/2 ρv22 + ρgy2
This is something people often get confused so I’ll show you one more time…***in a continuous flow***, LOW VELOCITY (larger channel) regions have HIGHER PRESSURE. Fast-moving regions (smaller tubes) have LOWER PRESSURE ***in a continuous flow***.
AneurysmsIs the PRESSURE higher in a normal blood
vessel or in region with aneurysm?
saccular aneurysm
fusiform aneurysm
A. Normal blood vesselB. AneurysmC. Same in healthy and aneurysed vesselD. Not enough information to determine
Q96
Let’s think back to aneurysms.ANSWER: BVelocity is LOWER, pressure is HIGHER in an aneurysm!Increased pressure can cause the artery to rupture. This is really dangerous.
Bernoulli’s Most Important Implication.
A slow-moving fluid exerts more pressure than a fast-moving fluid
(depends also on elevation of volume flow).
If you run the numbers on the Bernoulli equation, you’ll find this is true.

Density of air: 1.225 kg/m3
Let’s see an example of this. [See light board notes for problem solution] This pressure difference exerts a net force on the roof that’s about the equivalent of a motorcycle slamming into the roof at about 20mph! Build a stronger roof if you live in florida.

Just to reinforce a concept… ANSWER: D higher pressure where there’s SLOWER VELOCITY AIR.
