| Flashcard | type:basic |
|---|---|
| How does an increase in temperature from 20 to 40 C affect gas density? | It will fall by 7% |
| How is laminar flow related to the internal radius of a tube? | It's proportional to the radius to the power of 4 |
| Where does heliox affect turbulent flow in the airways? | Just the large airways |
| Do all gas particles move at the same speed in turbulent flow? | No. There are different streams with different speeds |
| Where in a stream with laminar flow, do the particles move the fastest? | The ones in the centre |
| Where in a stream with laminar flow, do the particles move the slowest? | The ones at the outside |
