    By using this equation we can estimate it
    Mechanical Power = Pmax(C,O)
    Chemical Power = Mechanical Power/nth
    Systolic Pressure: 16 kN/m2
    Cardiac Output: 107 × 10-6 m3/s
    nth = 0.2
    Answer:
    Pmech = (16 kN/m2)(107 × 10-6 m3/s) = 1.71 (Nm)/s [W]
    Pchem = 1.71 (Nm)/s = 8.6 (Nm)/s"
    0 0
