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 long rod of 60-mm diameter and thermophysical properties rho= 8000 kg/m3, c= 500 J/kg·K, and k= 50 W/m·K is initially at a uni
Dvinal [7]

Answer:

Tc =    = 424.85 K

Explanation:

Data given:

D = 60 mm = 0.06 m

\rho = 8000 kg/m^3

k = 50 w/m . k

c = 500 j/kg.k

h_{\infty} = 1000 w/m^2

t_{\infity} = 750 k

t_w = 500 K

surface area = As = \pi dL

\frac{As}{L} = \pi D = \pi \timeS 0.06

HEAT FLOW Q  is

Q = h_{\infty} As (T_[\infty} - Tw)

 = 1000 \pi\times 0.06 (750-500)

  = 47123.88 w per unit length of rod

volumetric heat rate

q = \frac{Q}{LAs}

  = \frac{47123.88}{\frac{\pi}{4} D^2 \times 1}

q = 1.66\times 10^{7} w/m^3

Tc = \frac{- qR^2}{4K} + Tw

= \frac{ - 1.67\times 10^7 \times (\frac{0.06}{2})^2}{4\times 56} +  500

   = 424.85 K

A freezer is maintained at 20°F by removing heat from it at a rate of 75 Btu/min. The power input to the freezer is 0.70 hp, and
Igoryamba

Answer:

Explanation:

Cop of reversible refrigerator = TL / ( TH - TL)

TL = low temperature of freezer = 20 °F

TH = temperature of air around = 75 °F

Heat removal rate QL = 75 Btu/min

W actual, power input = 0.7 hp

conversion on F to kelvin = (T (°F) + 460 ) × 5 / 9

COP ( coefficient of performance) reversible = (20 + 460) × 5/9 / (5/9 ( ( 75 +460) - (20 + 460) ))

COP reversible = 480 / 55 = 8.73

irreversibility expression, I = W actual - W rev

COP r = QL / Wrev

W rev = QL /  COP r  where 75 Btu/min = 1.76856651 hp  where W actual = 0.70 hp

a) W rev =  1.76856651 hp  /  8.73  = 0.20258 hp is reversible power

I = W actual - W rev

b) I = 0.7 hp - 0.20258 hp = 0.4974 hp

c) the second-law efficiency of this freezer = W rev / W actual =  0.20258 hp / 0.7 hp = 0.2894 × 100 = 28.94 %

Facts about cellphones
alina1380 [7]

Answer:

Your mobile phone has more computing power than the computers used for the Apollo 11 moon landing.

Mobile phones have to “work harder” to get a signal if you are in a moving vehicle.

The first mobile phone was made in 1973.

The first mobile phones that went on sale in 1983 cost nearly $4,000 each.

In 2012 Apple sold 340,000 phones per day.

4 out of 10 Brits admit to snooping on their partners phone.

Out of the 53% of snoopers that found incriminating evidence on their partner’s phone, 5% went on to terminate their relationship.

Waterproof mobile phones came to market because Japanese youngsters like to use them in the shower.

Apparently mobile phones have 18 times more bacteria on them than toilet handles!

Phubbing describes the act of snubbing someone by using your mobile phone in their company.

In 2015 more people died from taking selfies than shark attacks.

Teenagers that use a phone more than 2 hours a day increase their risk of depression and anxiety.

Nomobophobia is severe anxiety caused by the thought or act of losing your phone or running out of battery.
