Using fick's equation with O2 consumption rate of 50 mlO2/kg/min in a vertebrate.

VO2 = Q βO2(PaO2-PvO2)

VO2= 50 mlO2/kg/min

how to measure the oxygen consumption in a fish using fick's equation.

Expert Solution

Fick's law states that when the blood flows gradually, more oxygen is withdrawn from circulation, and due to that saturations are lowered. The measure of cardiac output is done by taking into consideration the intake of oxygen and dividing it by the difference in arteriovenous oxygen concentration. Carp is a category of freshwater fish, so here we discuss the oxygen consumption and cardiac output of carp. The study of the oxygen consumption of fishes gives an idea about its metabolic activity. As per research, a cardiac output of 18.3 ml/mg per kg. The cardiac output is synonymous to oxygen consumption, thus providing us an idea about the consumption of oxygen. The bloody supply via the gill directly correlates to the oxygen consumption of the fishes. During a condition of anemia of the fish, the cardiac output increases and during the time of a decline in the O2 tension of the water in which the fish resides, there is an increase in the cardiac output.

). A 15 wt% Na2SO4 solution is fed at the rate of 12 kg/min into a miser that initially holds 100 kg of a 50-50 mixture (by weight) of Na2SO4 and water. The exit solution leaves at the rate of 10 kg/min. Assume uniform mixing, which means that the concentration of the exit solution is the same as the concentration in the mixer.

A 15% Na2SO4 solution is fed at a rate of 5.5 kg/min into a mixer which initially holds 45.5 kg of a 50-50 mixture of Na2SO4 and water. The exit solution leaves the mixer at a rate of 4.5 kg /min. Assuming uniform mixing, write the required mass balances and calculate the weight fraction of Na2SO4 in the mixer at the end of 10 min using 4th order Runge-Kutta Method by taking Δt= 0.5 min.

Water flows through a shower head steadily at a rate of 8 kg/min. The water is heated in an electric water heater from 158C to 458C. In an attempt to conserve energy, it is proposed to pass the drained warm water at a temperature of 388C through a heat exchanger to preheat the incoming cold water. Design a heat exchanger that is suitable for this task, and discuss the potential savings in energy and money for your area.
