Randall D. Knight β Fluids and Elasticity: Problem Problem_58
A tree loses water to the air by the process of transpiration at the rate of 110 g/h. This water is replaced by the upward flow of sap through vessels in the trunk. If the trunk contains 2000 vessels, each 100 $\mu$m in diameter, what is the upward speed in mm/s of the sap in each vessel? The density of tree sap is 1040 kg/m3.
