1. The following chart lists the average individual airway diameter and the total airway area of specific generations of branching in the lungs. As the overall pulmonary ventilation rate of the lungs increases, laminar air flow may transition to turbulent air flow in certain regions (generations) of the branching airway. In generation 4, at what critical pulmonary ventilation rate (Qv) does the laminar to turbulent transition occur? Present Qv in $\left({\mathrm{m}}^3/\mathrm{s}\right)$. The density of air at $1\mathrm{atm},37^{\circ }\mathrm{C}=1.13\mathrm{kg}{\mathrm{m}}^{-3}$ The viscosity of air at $1\mathrm{atm},37^{\circ }\mathrm{C}=0.0000191{\mathrm{Pa}}^{\ast }\mathrm{s}$ Conversions $\begin{array}{l}1.0\mathrm{cm}=0.01\mathrm{m}\\ 1.0{\mathrm{cm}}^2=.0001{\mathrm{m}}^2\end{array}$
