Question 1

importance of fluids for the circulation of blood, gas movement, and gas exchange

Answer 1

• fluids are featured in many important processes such as circulation of blood, gas movement, and gas exchange with the blood
• energy requirements required to move fluids can be modeled using physics equations
• content:
  ~ hydrostatic pressure
  ~ fluid flow rates
  ~ viscosity
  ~ kinetic molecular theory of gases
  ~ ideal gas law

Question 2

fluids

phys

Answer 2

• density, specific gravity
• buoyancy, archimedes’ principle
• hydrostatic pressure
  ~ pascal’s law
  ~ hydrostatic pressure; P = ρgh (pressure vs. depth)
• viscosity: poiseuille flow
• continuity equation (A * v = constant)
• concept of turbulence at high velocities
• surface tension
• bernoulli’s equation
• venturi effect, pitot tube

Question 3

circulatory system

bio

Answer 3

• arterial and venous systems; pressure and flow characteristics

Question 4

gas phase

gen chem, phys

Answer 4

• absolute temp, K, kelvin scale
• pressure, simple mercury barometer
• molar volume at 0ºC and 1 atm = 22.4 L/mol
• ideal gas
  ~ definition
  ~ ideal gas law: PV = nRT
  ~ boyle’s law: PV = constant
  ~ charles’ law: V/T = constant
  ~ avogadro’s law: V/n = constant
• kinetic molecular theory of gases
  ~ heat capacity at constant volume and at constant pressure (phys)
  ~ boltzmann’s constant (phys)
• deviation of real gas behavior from ideal gas law
  ~ qualitative
  ~ quantative (van der waals’ equation)
• partial pressure, mole fraction
• dalton’s law relating partial pressure to composition
