Answer:

Flow in liters per minute is 4 L/min

Explanation:

For this case, we have an aorta of 0.9 cm of diameter (D). Let's suppose an uniform and constant diameter for calculation purposes.  

D = (0.9 cm)(1m/100cm)

D = 0.009 m

It is required to calculate the blood flow in liters per minute when the flow regime changes from laminar to turbulent. Laminar flow is usually less than 2500 for Reynolds value, and Turbulent flow when Re is higher than 2500. So, we need to study the phenomenon for  

Re = 2500.

Using the definition of Reynolds we can find the velocity average of the blood, and use it to find flow. Where blood density is \rho, aorta diameter is D, average velocity is v and blood viscosity is \mu

Re = \frac{\rho v D}{\mu } \\v = \frac{Re*\mu}{\rho D}

From data problem, we have Re, D values. As we need blood density and blood viscosity we can find them in medical studies. For example: in this online document: Blood flow analysis of the aortic arch using computational fluid dynamics †

European Journal of Cardio-Thoracic Surgery, Volume 49, Issue 6, June 2016, Pages 1578–1585, https://doi.org/10.1093/ejcts/ezv459  

Published: 20 January 2016

\rho = 1060 kg/m^3\\\mu = 0.0004 kg/(ms)\\

v = \frac{Re*\mu}{\rho D}\\v = \frac{2500 * 0.004 kg/(ms)}{(1060 kg/m3)(0.009 m)}\\v = 1.04 m/s\\

Average blood velocity is 1.04 m/s. After that, we can calculate the flow (Q) using the flow are (Ao) of aorta.

Q = v*Ao

Q = (1.4m/s)*(\pi*(0.009m/2)^2)\\Q = 6.67 * 10^-5 \frac{m^3}{s}\\Q = (6.67 * 10^-5 \frac{m^3}{s})(\frac{1000 L}{1 m^3} ) (\frac{60 s}{1 min} )\\Q = 4 L/min

Finally, the blood flow in liters per minute is 4 L/min when the flow regime in the aorta changes from laminar to turbulent.

Write the isotopic symbol for the following (show your work) a) An isotope of iodine whose atoms have 78 neutrons b) An isotope
morpeh [17]

<u>Answer:</u>

<u>For a:</u> The isotopic representation of iodine is _{53}^{131}\textrm{I}

<u>For b:</u> The isotopic representation of cesium is _{55}^{137}\textrm{Cs}

<u>For c:</u> The isotopic representation of strontium is _{38}^{52}\textrm{Sr}

<u>Explanation:</u>

The isotopic representation of an atom is: _Z^A\textrm{X}

where,

Z = Atomic number of the atom

A = Mass number of the atom

X = Symbol of the atom

  • <u>For a:</u>

We are given:

Number of neutrons = 78

Atomic number of iodine = 53 = Number of protons

Mass number = 53 + 78 = 131

Thus, the isotopic representation of iodine is _{53}^{131}\textrm{I}

  • <u>For b:</u>

We are given:

Number of neutrons = 82

Atomic number of cesium = 55 = Number of protons

Mass number = 55 + 82 = 137

Thus, the isotopic representation of cesium is _{55}^{137}\textrm{Cs}

  • <u>For c:</u>

We are given:

Number of neutrons = 52

Atomic number of strontium = 38 = Number of protons

Mass number = 38 + 52 = 90

Thus, the isotopic representation of strontium is _{38}^{52}\textrm{Sr}

Fynjy0 [20]

Answer:

Neither arre correct

Explanation:

Neither Anya nor Braden are correct. This is because if you use 90 degrees, 180 degrees, or even 270 degrees you will not get the exact image, which means that the image will not be found by just a rotation because there will be a curve in the image. You can solve it if you can do 90 degree rotation and translation.
