Consider a drug-eluting balloon catheter deployed into a blood vessel. The balloon is inflated to perfectly adhere to the vessel

walls. Drug is released from the outer surface of the balloon and diffuses radially through the endothelial tissue only in the r-direction. Let the outside radius of the balloon be r = R_0, where the drug has a constant concentration c_0. The drug diffuses into the tissue as far as r = R, where the concentration of the drug becomes zero.
Assume cylindrical geometry, steady state conditions and no chemical reaction involving the drug. The drug diffusion coefficient in tissue is D.
(a) Find an expression for the profile c(r) inside the tissue (i.e. from R_0 to R).
(b) Determine the diffusive flux at the outer surface of the balloon.

Answer:

a)  Cr = Co - Fx / D

b)   ΔC / Δx = ( CR - Cr )  / ( xR - xRo )

Explanation:

A) Derive an expression for the profile c(r) inside the tissue

F = DΔC / X  = D ( Co - Cr ) / X   ------ 1

where : F = flux , D = drug diffusion coefficient

            X = radial distance between Ro and R

Hence : Cr = Co - Fx / D

B) Express the diffusive flux at outer surface of the balloon

Diffusive flux at outer surface =  ΔC / Δx = CR - Cr / xR - xRo

A water-filled manometer is used to measure the pressure in an air-filled tank. One leg of the manometer is open to atmosphere.
ddd [48]

Answer:

P = 150.335\,kPa (Option B)

Explanation:

The absolute pressure of the air-filled tank is:

P = 101.3\,kPa + \left(1000\,\frac{kg}{m^{3}} \right)\cdot \left(9.807\,\frac{kg}{m^{3}} \right)\cdot (5\,m)\cdot \left(\frac{1\,kPa}{1000\,Pa} \right)

P = 150.335\,kPa

A three-point bending test was performed on an aluminum oxide specimen having a circular cross section of radius 5.6 mm; the spe
ankoles [38]

Answer:

F =  8849 N

Explanation:

Given:

Load at a given point = F =  4250 N

Support span = L = 44 mm

Radius = R = 5.6 mm

length thickness of tested material = 12 mm

First compute the flexural strength for circular cross section using the formula below:

σ_{fs} = F_{f} L / \pi  R^{3}

σ = FL / π R³

Putting the given values in the above formula:

σ = 4250 ( 44 x 10⁻³ ) / π  ( 5.6 x 10⁻³ ) ³

  = 4250 ( 44 x 10⁻³ )  / 3.141593 ( 5.6 x 10⁻³ ) ³

  = 4250 (44 x 1 /1000 )) / 3.141593 ( 5.6 x 10⁻³ ) ³

  = 4250 ( 11 / 250  ) / 3.141593 ( 5.6 x 10⁻³ ) ³

  = 187 / 3.141593 ( 5.6 x 1 / 1000 ) ³

  = 187 / 3.141593 (0.0056)³

  = 338943767.745358

  = 338.943768 x 10⁶

σ = 338 x 10⁶ N/m²

Now we compute the load i.e. F from the following formula:

F_{f} = 2 σ_{fs} d³/3 L

F = 2σd³/3L

  = 2(338 x 10⁶)(12 x 10⁻³)³ / 3(44 x 10⁻³)

  = 2 ( 338 x 1000000 ) ( 12 x 10⁻³)³ / 3 ( 44 x 10⁻³)

  = 2 ( 338000000 ) ( 12 x 10⁻³)³ / 3 ( 44 x 10⁻³)

  = 676000000 ( 12 x 10⁻³)³ / 3 ( 44 x 10⁻³)

  = 676000000 ( 12  x  1/1000  )³ / 3 ( 44 x 10⁻³)

  = 676000000 (  3  / 250  )³ / 3 ( 44 x 10⁻³)

  = 676000000 (  27  / 15625000 )  / 3 ( 44 x 10⁻³)

  = 146016  / 125 / 3 ( 44 x 1 / 1000  )

  = ( 146016  / 125 ) /  (3 ( 11 /  250 ))

  =  97344  / 11

F =  8849 N

The 1000-lb elevator is hoisted by the pulley system and motor M. The motor exerts a constant force of 500 lb on the cable. The
klemol [59]

The power that must be supplied to the motor is 136 hp

<u>Explanation:</u>

Given-

weight of the elevator, m = 1000 lb

Force on the table, F = 500 lb

Distance, s = 27 ft

Efficiency, ε = 0.65

Power  = ?

According to the equation of motion:

F = ma

3(500) - 1000 = \frac{1000}{32.2} * a

a = 16.1 ft/s²

We know,

v^2 - u^2 = 2a (S - So)\\\\v^2 - (0)^2 = 2 * 16.1 (27-0)\\\\v = 29.48m/s

To calculate the output power:

Pout = F. v

Pout = 3 (500) * 29.48

Pout = 44220 lb.ft/s

As efficiency is given and output power is known, we can calculate the input power.

ε = Pout / Pin

0.65 = 44220 / Pin

Pin = 68030.8 lb.ft/s

Pin = 68030.8 / 500 hp

     = 136 hp

Therefore, the power that must be supplied to the motor is 136 hp
