Study Notes
Physical Principles of Respiratory Care
- The presentation covers physical principles relevant to respiratory care.
- Objectives include describing states of matter, changes of state, and gas behavior.
- Objectives also include understanding water vapor capacity, absolute humidity, and relative humidity.
- Objectives include predicting gas behavior under changing conditions.
States of Matter
- Three primary states of matter: solids, liquids, and gases.
- Solids have a high degree of internal order, fixed volume and shape, and strong mutual attractive forces between atoms.
- Liquids have a fixed volume but adapt to the shape of their container; atoms exhibit less mutual attraction compared with solids.
- Gases have no fixed volume or shape; molecules exhibit rapid, random motion with frequent collisions.
Internal Energy of Matter
- Atoms in matter are constantly in motion at normal temperatures.
- Internal energy is the source of this motion.
- Internal energy includes potential energy (energy of position) and kinetic energy (energy of motion).
- Potential energy is stronger in solids and liquids, while kinetic energy is prominent in gases.
Laws of Thermodynamics
- Thermodynamics is the study of matter properties and reaction rates at various temperatures.
- Energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transferred.
- The first law of thermodynamics involves heat transfer between objects at different temperatures. Heat flows from hotter to cooler objects until both reach an equal temperature.
- Heat transfer can occur through four mechanisms: conduction (direct contact), convection (fluid movement), radiation (no direct contact), and evaporation/condensation (change of state).
Properties of Liquids
- Archimedes' Principle: An upward force on a submerged object is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced.
- Buoyancy is influenced by pressure difference below and above a submerged object.
- Viscosity: the resistance to fluid flow, directly proportional to cohesive forces between molecules.
- Blood has a higher viscosity than water.
- Cohesion: attraction between molecules of the same substance.
- Adhesion: attraction between molecules of different substances.
- Surface tension: force exerted by like molecules at a liquid's surface.
- Surface tension helps maintain spherical shapes of bubbles.
- Capillary action: upward movement of liquid in a narrow tube against gravity; influenced by adhesion and surface tension.
- Liquids are subject to Pascal's Principle, where pressure depends on liquid height and density, not the shape of the container.
Fluid Dynamics
- Fluid dynamics is the study of fluids in motion.
- Fluid pressure in motion depends on the nature of the flow.
- Flow resistance is the opposition to fluid flow.
- Progressive decrease in pressure occurs as fluid flows through a tube due to resistance. Factors include fluid density, viscosity, linear velocity, and tube radius.
- Bernoulli Principle: Velocity increases and lateral pressure decreases as a fluid flows through a constriction.
- Fluid entrainment: Negative pressure due to high velocity can pull another fluid into the primary flow stream.
- Venturi masks use the principle of reduced pressure to entrain gases (typically air) into a low pressure area.
Patterns of Flow
- Laminar flow: fluids move in parallel layers, no disruption between layers.
- Turbulent flow: chaotic flow, with high pressure and property changes.
- Transitional flow: mixture of laminar and turbulent flow.
Properties of Gases
- Gases exhibit considerable kinetic activity, with molecules moving randomly and colliding frequently.
- Gas velocity is proportional to temperature.
- Ideal molar volume is 22.4 L at standard temperature and pressure (STP).
- Gas density is the ratio of gas mass to volume.
- Gaseous diffusion is the movement of molecules from high-concentration areas to low-concentration areas (Graham's Law).
- Gas pressure is exerted by gas molecules.
- Gas tension is gas pressure in liquid solutions.
- Gravity affects gas pressure and density, influencing molecular collisions and tension.
- Pressure decreases with increasing altitude.
Change of State
- Melting: solid to liquid transition. Melting point is the temperature of this change.
- Freezing: liquid to solid transition.
- Sublimation: solid to gas transition, without becoming a liquid first.
- Evaporation: liquid converting to gas at temperatures below the boiling point, based on vapor pressure exceeding atmospheric pressure.
- Condensation: Opposite of evaporation; gas to liquid transition.
Water Vapor Capacity, Absolute Humidity, and Relative Humidity
- Water vapor capacity: amount of water vapor air can hold.
- Absolute humidity: actual amount of water vapor in the air.
- Relative humidity: ratio of absolute humidity to water vapor capacity at a given temperature, expressed in percent.
Temperature
- Temperature is a measurement of heat, closely related to kinetic energy—the energy of motion of particles.
- Heat is produced by molecular collisions.
- Gas temperature is directly proportional to kinetic energy of molecules.
- Solids and liquids have only some of their energy devoted to motion, and temperature represents only part of their total internal energy. Temperature scales include Fahrenheit, Celsius, and Kelvin.
- Conversion formulas exist between these scales.
Additional topics
- Air pressure, Dalton's law, Henry's law, Boyle's law, Charles' law, Gay-Lussac's law are discussed to provide a complete picture of gas behavior and properties.
- The presentation includes a mini-clinic on oxygen masks on airplanes. A detailed analysis of cabin pressure and oxygen levels, along with calculations, is included to illustrate real-world applications of these principles.
