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

What is the mechanical advantage of a simple block and tackle with one rope?
NISA [10]

Answer:

A block and tackle is characterized by the use of a single continuous rope to transmit a tension force around one or more pulleys to lift or move a load. Its mechanical advantage is the number of parts of the rope that act on the load. The mechanical advantage of a tackle dictates how much easier it is to haul or lift the load.

Car B is traveling a distance dd ahead of car A. Both cars are traveling at 60 ft/s when the driver of B suddenly applies the br
vagabundo [1.1K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Using the kinematics equation v = v_o + a_ct to determine the velocity of car B.

where;

v_o = initial velocity

a_c = constant deceleration

Assuming the constant deceleration is = -12 ft/s^2

Also, the kinematic equation that relates to the distance with the time is:

S = d + v_ot + \dfrac{1}{2}at^2

Then:

v_B = 60-12t

The distance traveled by car B in the given time (t) is expressed as:

S_B = d + 60 t - \dfrac{1}{2}(12t^2)

For car A, the needed time (t) to come to rest is:

v_A = 60 - 18(t-0.75)

Also, the distance traveled by car A in the given time (t) is expressed as:

S_A = 60  * 0.75 +60(t-0.75) -\dfrac{1}{2}*18*(t-0.750)^2

Relating both velocities:

v_B = v_A

60-12t = 60 - 18(t-0.75)

60-12t =73.5 - 18t

60- 73.5 = - 18t+ 12t

-13.5 =-6t

t = 2.25 s

At t = 2.25s, the required minimum distance can be estimated by equating both distances traveled by both cars

i.e.

S_B = S_A

d + 60 t - \dfrac{1}{2}(12t^2) = 60  * 0.75 +60(t-0.75) -\dfrac{1}{2}*18*(t-0.750)^2

d + 60 (2.25) - \dfrac{1}{2}(12*(2.25)^2) = 60  * 0.75 +60((2.25)-0.75) -\dfrac{1}{2}*18*((2.25)-0.750)^2

d + 104.625 = 114.75

d = 114.75 - 104.625

d = 10.125 ft

Why the velocity potential Φ(x,y,z,t) exists only for irrotational flow
Black_prince [1.1K]

Answer:

\omega_y,\omega_x,\omega_Z  all are zero.

Explanation:

We know that if flow is possible then it will satisfy the below equation

\dfrac{\partial u}{\partial x}+\dfrac{\partial v}{\partial y}+\dfrac{\partial w}{\partial z}=0

Where u is the velocity of flow in the x-direction ,v is the velocity of flow in the y-direction and w is the velocity of flow in z-direction.

And velocity potential function \phi given as follows

 u=-\frac{\partial \phi }{\partial x},v=-\frac{\partial \phi }{\partial y},w=-\frac{\partial \phi }{\partial z}

Rotationality of fluid is given by \omega

\frac{\partial v}{\partial x}-\frac{\partial u}{\partial y}=\omega_Z

\frac{\partial v}{\partial z}-\frac{\partial w}{\partial y}=\omega_x

\frac{\partial w}{\partial x}-\frac{\partial u}{\partial z}=\omega_y

So now putting value in the above equations ,we will find

\omega =\frac{\partial \phi }{\partial x},u=\frac{\partial \phi }{\partial x},

\omega_y=\dfrac{\partial^2 \phi }{\partial z\partial x}-\dfrac{\partial^2 \phi }{\partial z\partial x}

So \omega_y=0

Like this all \omega_y,\omega_x,\omega_Z all are zero.

That is why  velocity potential flow is irroational flow.
