What would be the best flow rate of o2 for a patient with copd?

1 answer:

4 0

When we say COPD, this means Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disorder. COPD includes a group of lung diseases which have progressed into a worse condition. One example of this is emphysema. In cases of COPD, they should be provided oxygen therapy and the best flow rate for patients with this disorder is <span>8-10 L/min, high-flow, via nasal prong. Hope this helps.</span>

If a uranium atom undergoes both alpha and gamma decay, what happens to it?

WARRIOR [948]

If a uranium atom undergoes both alpha and gamma decay, then it means that there will be formation of one helium particle which is also known as alpha particle and gamma decay is the radiation or release of energy. Whereas in a radioactive reaction, Uranium-235 absorbs a neutron and splits into two new atoms.

Two isotopes of hydrogen fuse to form a neutron plus the larger element,A) beryllium.B) carbon.C) deuterium.D) helium.

Nezavi [6.7K]

Answer: D) helium.

Explanation:

Nuclear fission is a process which involves the conversion of a heavier nuclei into two or more small and stable nuclei along with the release of energy.

$_{92}^{235}\textrm{U}+_0^1\textrm{n}\rightarrow _{56}^{143}Ba+_{36}^{90}Kr+3_0^1\textrm{n}$

Nuclear fusion is a process which involves the conversion of two small nuclei to form a heavy nuclei along with release of energy.

Example: $_1^2\textrm{H}+_1^3\textrm{H}\rightarrow _2^4\textrm{He}+_0^1\textrm{n}+\text{energy}$

Thus when deuterium and tritium , the two isotopes of hydrogen are fused, a heavier nuclei helium is being formed from two smaller nuclei releasing a neutron.

A methanol-water mixture is to be flash distilled at 1 atm. If the feed is 25 mole %methanol, what are the liquid and vapor comp

frozen [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given that:

The distillation is carried out at a pressure of 1 atm

The feed harbors 25% mole of methanol (z)

The total moles of feed is usually 100 moles

In the system, we have both methanol and water

Using the total mole balance for the distillation column.

Fz = Lx + Vy

where;

F = amount of feed

z = mole fraction of ethanol (in feed)

L = amount of liquid product out of the column

V = amount of vapor product out of the column

x = mole fraction of methanol out of the liquid

y = mole fraction of methanol out of the vapor.

SO;

(a)

If all the feed is vaporized, then the vapor will likely have the same composition as the feed.

(b)

If no vaporization of the feed takes place, then the bottoms moving out of the column contains the same composition as the feed.

(c)

If 1/3 of the feed is vaporized; then 2/3 of the feed is at the bottom.

The balance equation would be:

$Fz = (\dfrac{2}{3}F) x + (\dfrac{1}{3}F)y \\ \\ z = \dfrac{2}{3}x+\dfrac{1}{3}y$

Replacing z = 0.25; we have:

$0.25 = \dfrac{2}{3}x+\dfrac{1}{3}y$

0.75 = 2x + y

(d)

If 2/3 of the feed is vaporized;

Then:

$Fz = (\dfrac{1}{3}F) x + (\dfrac{2}{3}F)y \\ \\ z = \dfrac{1}{3}x+\dfrac{2}{3}y$

replacing z = 0.25

$0.25 = \dfrac{1}{3}x+\dfrac{2}{3}y$

0.75 = x + 2y
