Estimate the power that the human heart must impart to the


1. Estimate the power that the human heart must impart to the blood to pump it through the two carotid arteries from the heart to the brain. List all assumptions and show all calculations.

2. The flowrate between tank A and tank B shown in Fig. P8.111 is to be increased by 30% (i.e., from Q to 1.30Q) by the addition of a second pipe (indicated by the dotted lines) running from node C to tank B. If the elevation of the free surface in tank A is 25 ft above that in tank B, determine the diameter, D, of this new pipe. Neglect minor losses and assume that the friction factor for each pipe is 0.02.
