    Airflow in windpipes | 
  2001-03-25 | 
   
    | 
  From Ena: The volume of air flowing in windpipes is given by V=kpR4, where k is a constant, p is the pressure difference at each end, R is the radius.  The radius will decrease with increased pressure, according to the formula: Ro - R = cp, where Ro is the windpipe radius when p=0 & c is a positive constant.  R is restricted such that:  0 < 0.5*Ro < R < Ro,  find the factor by which the radius of the windpipe contracts to give maximum flow? Answered by Harley Weston. |
