Question

Order 2mg/min comes in 2gm in 500. What is the rate?

A) 4 ml/min
B) 2 ml/min
C) 1 ml/min
D) 0.5 ml/min

Answer 1

The new flow rate when the viscosity of the fluid changes can be calculated using the formula Q2 = Q1 x density1 / density2. The flow rate in this case is 1.60 ml/min.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the new flow rate, we need to use the equation:

Q2 = Q1 x ρ1 / ρ2

Where Q1 is the original flow rate, ρ1 is the viscosity of the original fluid, ρ2 is the viscosity of the new fluid, and Q2 is the new flow rate.

Given that the original flow rate Q1 is 4.00 cm³/min, and the viscosity of the new fluid is 2.50 times that of the original, we can substitute the values into the equation:

Q2 = 4.00 cm³/min x 1 / 2.50 = 1.60 cm³/min

Therefore, the new flow rate is 1.60 cm³/min, which can be converted to ml/min by multiplying by 1 ml/cm³:

1.60 cm³/min x 1 ml/cm³ = 1.60 ml/min

So the rate is 1.60 ml/min.
