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
