Larger animals have sturdier bones than smaller animals. a mouse's skeleton is only a few percent of its body weight, compared to 16% for an elephant. to see why this must be so, recall, that the stress on the femur for a man standing on one leg is 1.4% of the bone's tensile strength. suppose we scale this man up by a factor of 10 in all dimensions, keeping the same body proportions. (assume that a 70 kg person has a femur with a cross-section area (of the cortical bone) of ,4.8x10^-4 m^2 a typical value.) a. both the inside and outside diameter of the femur, the region of cortical bone, will increase by a factor of 10. what will be the new cross-section area? b. the man's body will increase by a factor of 10 in each dimension. what will be his new mass?

8.29 two streams containing pyridine and acetic acid at 25°c are mixed and fed into a heat exchanger. due to the heat-of-mixing effect, it is desired to reduce the temperature after mixing to 25°c using a stream of chilled ethylene glycol as indicated in the diagram. calculate the mass flow rate of ethylene glycol needed. the heat capacity of ethylene glycol at these conditions is approximately 2.8 kj/(kg k), and the enthalpy change of mixing (δmixh) is given below.
