Insects do not have lungs as we do, nor do they breathe through their mouths. Instead, they have a system of tiny tubes, called tracheae, through which oxygen diffuses into their bodies. The tracheae begin at the surface of the insect's body and penetrate into the interior. Suppose that a tracheae is 1.64 mm long with a cross-sectiona area of 2.14 x 10^-9 m^2. The concentration of oxygen in the air outside the insect is 0.626 kg/m^3, and the diffusion...
A liquid_p = 1.45 g/cm^2) flows through a horizontal pipe of varying cross section as in the figure below. In the first section, the cross-sectional area is 10.0 cm^2, the flow speed is 248 cm/s, and the pressure is 1.20 times 10^5 Pa. In the second section, the cross-sectional area is 4.50 cm^2. Calculate the smaller section's flow speed. (Enter your answer to at least two decimal places.) m/s Calculate the smaller section's pressure. Pa Whole blood has a surface...
10. Write a one-page summary of the attached paper? INTRODUCTION Many problems can develop in activated sludge operation that adversely affect effluent quality with origins in the engineering, hydraulic and microbiological components of the process. The real "heart" of the activated sludge system is the development and maintenance of a mixed microbial culture (activated sludge) that treats wastewater and which can be managed. One definition of a wastewater treatment plant operator is a "bug farmer", one who controls the aeration...
