Fluorescein is a small fluorescent tracer molecule that is used in a wide variety of physiologic studies. in the eye, it is used in a technique known as fluorophotometry to characterize the transport characteristics of aqueous humor, the fluid that fills the anterior chamber behind the cornea. a drop of fluorescein (50 0.005% by mass, fluorescein in saline) is placed onto the cornea and spreads evenly over the corneal surface to create a thin film. it the diffuses through the cornea = 10−6 cm2 / and enters the aqueous humor on the back side of the cornea. the thickness of the cornea is about 0.05 cm and its radius is 0.5 cm. a) estimate how much fluorescein will enter the cornea during the first minute after application b) estimate how long it will take before a detectable quantity of fluorescein (0.0001%) begins to enter the aqueous humor

Two flowing streams of argon gas are adiabatically mixed to form a single flow/stream. one stream is 1.5 kg/s at 400 kpa and 200 c while the second stream is 2kg/s at 500 kpa and 100 ? . it is stated that the exit state of the mixed single flow of argon gas is 150 c and 300 kpa. assuming there is no work output or input during the mixing process, does this process violate either the first or the second law or both? explain and state all your assumptions.

Asolid cylinder is concentric with a straight pipe. the cylinder is 0.5 m long and has an outside diameter of 8 cm. the pipe has an inside diameter of 8.5 cm. the annulus between the cylinder ad the pipe contains stationary oil. the oil has a specific gravity of 0.92 and a kinematic viscosity of 5.57 x 10-4 m2/s. most nearly, what is the force needed to move the cylinder along the pipe at a constant velocity of 1 m/s?

Along 8-cm diameter steam pipe whose external surface temperature is 900c connects two buildings. the pipe is exposed to ambient air at 70c with a wind speed of 50 km/hr blowing across the pipe. determine the heat loss from the pipe per unit length. (b) air at 500c enters a section of a rectangular duct (15 cm x 20 cm) at an average velocity of 7 m/s. if the walls of the duct are maintained at 100c. a) the length of the tube for an exit temperature of the air to be 40 0c. b)the rate of heat transfer from the air. c) the fan power needed to overcome the pressure drop in this section of the duct.
