Assume you have a radioactive spill of 9tc and you are measuring it using a large volume gm tube detector in the shape of a flat disc. you measure 1 counts per minute at a distance of 1 cm from the contaminated surfac a. what detection geometry will you assume for your calculation? b. what is your estimate of the counting efficiency of this geometry? c. what is the activity of the spill? d. if it was decided to leave it there without cleaning it off the surface, how long would it be before the activity was indistinguishable from background radiation of 25 counts per second (assuming it would be within 2 standard deviations of background)? how dangerous is this spill?

Which of these describe conduction transfer of heat between two objects that are touching transfer of heat by the actual movement of war matter the process in which energy is imitated by one of the object transmitted through space and absorbed by another a process in which energy is released by the molecules breaking apart

We want to calculate the total metabolic heat generated by a singing canary taking into account heat transfer by radiation, convection and exhaling air. the air temperature is 20 oc, canary’s body internal and surface temperature is 33oc, external body surface convective heat transfer coefficient is 25.2 w/m2 .k, temperature difference between the inhaled and exhaled air is 4.3 oc, the ventilation rate is 0.74 cc of air per second, specific heat of air is 1.0066 kj/kg.k and density of air is 1.16 kg/m3 . assume the canary’s body to be a cylinder with 7 cm diameter and 9 cm length, and heat exchange is from the side as well as the top and bottom of cylinder. calculate 1) the net rate of heat lost by radiation, assuming heat gained by the bird through radiation from the surroundings is 11.5 w; 2) rate of heat transferred by convection to the surrounding air; 3) rate of heat transferred in the exhaling air without considering any internal evaporation; 4) total metabolic power.
