Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
This changeover from laminar to turbulent flow depends on several factors, including fluid den-sity (d), viscosity (h), linear velocity (v), and tube radius (r). In combination, these factors deter-mine Reynold's number (NR):
NR = v  d  2r/h

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
In a smooth-bore tube, laminar flow becomes turbulent when NR exceeds 2000 (the number is dimensionless). According to the previous formula, conditions favoring turbulent flow include increased fluid velocity, increased fluid density, increased tube radius, or decreased fluid viscos-ity. In the presence of irregular tube walls, turbulent flow can occur when NR is less than 2000.

Did you know?

Every flu season is different, and even healthy people can get extremely sick from the flu, as well as spread it to others. The flu season can begin as early as October and last as late as May. Every person over six months of age should get an annual flu vaccine. The vaccine cannot cause you to get influenza, but in some seasons, may not be completely able to prevent you from acquiring influenza due to changes in causative viruses. The viruses in the flu shot are killed—there is no way they can give you the flu. Minor side effects include soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given. It is possible to develop a slight fever, and body aches, but these are simply signs that the body is responding to the vaccine and making itself ready to fight off the influenza virus should you come in contact with it.

In most climates, 8 to 10 glasses of water per day is recommended for adults. The best indicator for adequate fluid intake is frequent, clear urination.

On average, someone in the United States has a stroke about every 40 seconds. This is about 795,000 people per year.
