Mandatory Homework
1. The velocity (u) of a non-Newtonian fluid flowing in a
circular pipe can be expressed as:

2. �(�)
�
=
3� + 1
� + 1
1 −
�
�
Where � is the mean velocity of the fluid in the pipe section, r
is the radial distance from the center of
the pipe, R is the pipe radius, and n is a constant whose value
depends on the fluid (for example, n = 1 for a
Newtonian fluid, n = 1.62 for a non-Newtonian fluid, and n = 3
for a dilatant fluid).
For � = 12 ft/s and � = 6”, plot �(�) for a Newtonian fluid,
non-Newtonian fluid, and for a
dilatant fluid. Compare the three profiles in the same plot. Use
different colors for the profiles and include
the corresponding legend.

3. �
� = �
2.- On average, the surface area A of human beings is related to
weight W and height H. Measurements of a
number of American individuals of height 180 cm and different
weights (kg) give values of A (m2) in the
following table:
W (kg) 70 75 77 80 82 84 87 90
A (m2) 2.10 2.12 2.15 2.20 2.22 2.23 2.26 2.30
a) Plot the data in a scatter plot.
b) Fit two or three different trendlines to the data (show
equations on chart).
c) Predict body surface area for an individual weighting 120 Kg.
Use the best mathematical model
(equation) to predict this value.
d) Compare your prediction in part (c) with the result using Du
Bois formula:
BSA = 0.007184 × W0.425 × H0.725
where BSA is body surface area represented in m2, W is weight
in kg, and H is height in cm.
