The doctor writes a prescription for na heparin 20,000 units in 500 ml n.s. infuse over 8 hours. what is the flow rate in ml/hr?

1 answer:

8 0

I think this type of equation could be conducted in simple division equation since it does not involve drop rate.

we know that there is 500 ml of substance and should be infused within 8 hours period.

So the flow rate in ml/hr would be:

500/8 = 62.5 ml/hr

Air enters a nozzle steadily at 2.21 kg/m3 and 20 m/s and leaves at 0.762 kg/m3 and 150 m/s. If the inlet area of the nozzle is

saveliy_v [14]

Answer:

a) The mass flow rate through the nozzle is 0.27 kg/s.

b) The exit area of the nozzle is 23.6 cm².

Explanation:

a) The mass flow rate through the nozzle can be calculated with the following equation:

$\dot{m_{i}} = \rho_{i} v_{i}A_{i}$

Where:

$v_{i}$ : is the initial velocity = 20 m/s

$A_{i}$ : is the inlet area of the nozzle = 60 cm²

$\rho_{i}$ : is the density of entrance = 2.21 kg/m³

$\dot{m} = \rho_{i} v_{i}A_{i} = 2.21 \frac{kg}{m^{3}}*20 \frac{m}{s}*60 cm^{2}*\frac{1 m^{2}}{(100 cm)^{2}} = 0.27 kg/s$

Hence, the mass flow rate through the nozzle is 0.27 kg/s.

b) The exit area of the nozzle can be found with the Continuity equation:

$\rho_{i} v_{i}A_{i} = \rho_{f} v_{f}A_{f}$

$0.27 kg/s = 0.762 kg/m^{3}*150 m/s*A_{f}$

$A_{f} = \frac{0.27 kg/s}{0.762 kg/m^{3}*150 m/s} = 0.00236 m^{2}*\frac{(100 cm)^{2}}{1 m^{2}} = 23.6 cm^{2}$

Therefore, the exit area of the nozzle is 23.6 cm².

I hope it helps you!

Use the collision theory to explain how increasing the temperature of a reaction will affect the rate of the reaction.

kirill115 [55]

Increasing the temperature causes the particles in the reaction to become kinetically excited, hitting one another in increasing frequency. Increased collision among means faster rate or reaction.

Which two possible explanations does the video give for why white light changes into colored light? Color is an impurity added t

Alex777 [14]

Answer:

White light contains seven colors, which are separated by the prism.

White light reacts with chemicals in the air to produce seven colors.

Explanation:

It was first observed by Sir Issac Newton, that when white light is passed through a prism, an elongated, coloured patch of light is obtained on a screen placed behind the prism. The seven colours obtained constitute the spectrum of white light.

In nature, white light is separated into its constituent wavelengths when white light interacts with substances in the atmosphere.
