Answer: b)Its ability to penetrate skin quickly due to its very small diameter

Explanation: Carbon nano tubes(CNT) are the material widely used in the medical field due to the atomic structure of it ans also have small size. Toxicity in the carbon nano tubes is because their small sized atomic particles which can enter the skin by penetration or inhalation. But are still preferred in the medicine because having unique properties like mechanical property, chemical property,surface property etc.

If the rotational speed of a pump motor is reduced by 35%, what is the effect on the pump performance in terms of capacity, head
FinnZ [79.3K]

Answer:

- the capacity of the pump reduces by 35%.

- the head gets reduced by 57%.

the power consumption by the pump is reduced by 72%

Explanation:

the pump capacity is related to the speed as speed is reduces by 35%

so new speed is (100 - 35) = 65% of orginal speed

speed Q ∝ N ⇒ Q1/Q2 = N1/N2

Q2 = (N2/N1)Q1    

Q2 = (65/100)Q1

which means that the capacity of the pump is also reduces by 35%.

the head in a pump is related by

H ∝ N² ⇒ H1/H2 = N1²/N2²

H2 = (N2N1)²H1

H2 = (65/100)²H1 = 0.4225H1

so the head gets reduced by 1 - 0.4225 = 0.5775 which is 57%.

Now The power requirement of a pump is related as

P ∝ N³ ⇒ P1/P2 = N1³/N2³

P2 = (N2/N1)³P1

H2 = (65/100)²P1 = 0.274P1

So the reduction in power is 1 - 0.274 = 0.725 which is 72%

Therefore for a reduction of 35% of speed there is a reduction of 72% of the power consumption by the pump.

with a digital system, if you have measured incorrectly and use too low of a kvp for adequate penetration, what do you need to d
Lubov Fominskaja [6]

The x-ray beam's penetrating power is regulated by kVp (beam quality). Every time an exposure is conducted, the x-rays need to be powerful (enough) to sufficiently penetrate through the target area.

<h3>How does kVp impact the exposure to digital receptors?</h3>

The radiation's penetration power and exposure to the image receptor both increase as the kVp value is raised.

<h3>Exposure to the image receptor is enhanced with an increase in kVp, right?</h3>

Due to an increase in photon quantity and penetrability, exposure at the image receptor rises by a factor of five of the change in kVp, doubling the intensity at the detector with a 15% change in kVp.

An Ideal gas is being heated in a circular duct as while flowing over an electric heater of 130 kW. The diameter of duct is 500
Assoli18 [71]

Answer: The exit temperature of the gas in deg C is 32^{o}C.

Explanation:

The given data is as follows.

C_{p} = 1000 J/kg K,   R = 500 J/kg K = 0.5 kJ/kg K (as 1 kJ = 1000 J)

P_{1} = 100 kPa,     V_{1} = 15 m^{3}/s

T_{1} = 27^{o}C = (27 + 273) K = 300 K

We know that for an ideal gas the mass flow rate will be calculated as follows.

     P_{1}V_{1} = mRT_{1}

or,         m = \frac{P_{1}V_{1}}{RT_{1}}

                = \frac{100 \times 15}{0.5 \times 300}  

                = 10 kg/s

Now, according to the steady flow energy equation:

mh_{1} + Q = mh_{2} + W

h_{1} + \frac{Q}{m} = h_{2} + \frac{W}{m}

C_{p}T_{1} - \frac{80}{10} = C_{p}T_{2} - \frac{130}{10}

(T_{2} - T_{1})C_{p} = \frac{130 - 80}{10}

(T_{2} - T_{1}) = 5 K

T_{2} = 5 K + 300 K

T_{2} = 305 K

           = (305 K - 273 K)

           = 32^{o}C

Therefore, we can conclude that the exit temperature of the gas in deg C is 32^{o}C.

State the four advantages of levers
dezoksy [38]

Answer:

Here are 2 sense i cant find 4

Explanation:

Levers are used to multiply force, In other words, using a lever gives you greater force or power than the effort you put in.

In a lever, if the distance from the effort to the fulcrum is longer than the distance from the load to the fulcrum, this gives a greater mechanical advantage.
