Objectives
• Variables of Physics Laws
• Highlights the most essentials laws of physics
• Their clinical implications
Variables of Physics Laws
• Volume: Space occupied by a substance measured in three dimensions by
cubic cm or cubic mm
• Temperature: All gases laws use Kelvin temperatures. It measures heat,
a form of energy, kinetic energy which comes from movement of the
molecules. Its Units = O OC = 32 OF = 273.15 OK.
• Absolute Temp. O OK = 273 OC.
• All gases laws are made at standard temperatura and pressure (STP)
T = O OC P = 760mmHg
• Pressure: Force per unit area.
• P = F/A.
• Units, I Barr= I Atmosphere=101 kpa=760mmHg=14.7psi = 1000cm H2O
• Gauge Pressure = Content Pressure & Atmospheric Pressure
• Absolute Pressure = Content pressure
Boyle’s Law
• At constant temperature the volume of a mass of gas varies
inversely with its absolute pressure.
• V α 1/P or VP= K 1 Constant or
• Same number of molecules at the same temperature occupying
different volumes will exert different pressures. However, their
product will be the same. So V1 P1 = V2 P2 = V3 P3
• P1 = Gauge pressure of cylinder
• V1 = Physical volume filled by water depending upon size of cylinder.
• P2 = Atmospheric pressure
• V2 = Actual amount of gas stored in the cylinder to be delivered.
Application of Boyle’s law in Anaesthetic practice.
• Medical gases are stored in large amounts in cylinders.
• The volume of gas present in a clynder can be measured by this law.
• P1 and P2 should have same units e.g. Bars, kPa
• Example; if V1 is 10 liter, P1 is 137 Bar (gauge pressure) & P2 is
atmospheric pressure (100 kPa or 1 Bar or 14.7 psi)
• P1 x V1 = P2 x V2
• V2 = P1 x V1 / P2 = 137 Bars x 10 litres / 1 Bar = 1380 L
Charles Law; At constant pressure the volume of mass of a gas varies
directly with the absolute temperature.
V α T V/T = K 2
Third Perfect Gas Law (Gay Lussacs Law)
• At constant volume the absolute pressure of a mass of gas varies directly
with the temperature
• P α T P/T = K 3 So P1/T1= P2/T2
Application ;
• As cylinders are tested to bear only 210 bar of pressure.
If external temperature rises so that P is > 210 bar cylinder will burst.
• Molybdenum steel can withstand pressures till 210 bars. Weakening of
metal in damaged cylinders are at a greater risk of explosion due to rise
in temperature
Avogadro’s Hypothesis
• Equal volumes of gases, at the same temperature and pressure
contain equal numbers of molecules.
• However, as the molecular weight of different substances is
different; their mass will be different in the same volume.
• A Mole; Is the quantity of any substance containing the same no. of
particles (molecular weight of a substance in grams).
• Avogadro’s no. 1 mole = 6.02 x 1023
• For any gas at as STP, 1 mole =22.4 liters
• So 2 g of Hydrogen, 32 g of Oxygen and 44 g of CO2 occupies
22.4 L as STP
Avogadro’s Hypothesis; Clinical implications
• Calibration of Vaporizer: If a steady stream of oxygen is made to
completely vaporize 19.7g of Halothane into a volume of 224 liters,
The mean percentage concentration of halothane can be ;
• 197 g of halothane is 1 mole and occupies 22.4 L
• 19.7 g ……..0.1 mol…….2.24 L
• 224L of O2 contains 2.24L of Halothane
1L….2.24/224 = 0.01 i.e. 1%
Content of Nitrous Oxide cylinder:
• If N2O cylinder contains 3.4kg of N2O. How much N2O gas will be
available for inhalation at room temperature?
• Mol wt of N2O is 44 so 1 mol of N2O is 44g 44 gm…..22.4 Litres
• 1gmm..22.4/44 3400g (3.4kg)….22.4 / 44 X 3400 = 1730L
• If gauge pressure of N2O cylinder 746 psi content are liquid
• If gauge pressure of N2O cylinder < 746 contents are gas
Universal Gas Constant
• The concepts of perfect Gas law, Avogadros’s hypothesis and mole
can be combined as.
• PV = k1, V / T = k2, P / T = k3
• For one mol of any perfect gas, PV / T = R constant where
• R is (Universal) Molar gas constant.
• PV = RT
• Where n is no of mol of gas, PV = nRT
Clinical implication
• In OT temp & volume of cylinder is constant
P is directly proportional to n ( no. of moles of gas).
Pressure gauge acts as a content gauge.
Dalton’s Law of partial pressures • In a mixture of gases, the pressure exerted by each gas is the same as
that which it would have exerted if it alone occupied the container.
Application: In a cylinder of Entonoux 50 % O2 and 50 % N2O
Pressure exerted by the N2O would be the same as it would exert if
it alone occupied the cylinder but in this case the available space for
N2O will increase from half a cylinder to full cylinder.
• Acc to Boyle’s Law pressure will be 100 kPa to 50 kPa (P ∝ 1 / V)
• Manufacturers use these two laws when filling cylinders with gas
mixtures.
• Cylinder of air at a pressure of 100kPa.
02 = 20.95% will exert a pressure of 100 × 20.95/100 = 20.95kpa
or 760 × 20.95/]00=159.22 mm Hg
N2=79.07% will exert a pressure of 100 × 79.07/100=79.07kpa or
760 × 79.07/100=600.932 mmHg
• Critical Temperature:
• Temperature above which a gas cannot be liquefied by pressure alone.
e.g. N2O = 36.5 C O2 = -119 C
• Critical Pressure:
Pressure required to liquefy a gas at its critical temperature.
e.g. N2O = 73 bar @ 36.5 C while N2O =52 [email protected] C
A Gas: a substance in the gaseous phase above its critical temperature.
A Vapour: a substance in the gaseous phase below its critical
temperature.
• Pseudo-Critical Temperature: For a mixture of gases at a specific
pressure, the specific temperature at which the individual gases may
separate from the gaseous phase.
• N2O 50% / O2 50% = - 5.5°C for cylinders (most likely at 117 bar)
N2O 50% / O2 50% = - 30° C for piped gas.
• Poynting Effect (Overpressure Effect): Critical temperature and
critical pressure of one gas may be affected by its admixture with
the other gas.
• Filling Ratio: The mass of the gas in the cylinder divided by the
mass of the water that would fill the cylinder. N2O = 0.65 (UK)
• At room temperature a full N2O cylinder contains about 9/10 of
liquid and 1/10 of gas.
Alveolar Air Equation
• Shows the amount of 02 available in the alveoli.
• It is derived from the Dalton's Law of Partial Pressures.
• Equation states; PAO2 = Fi02 X (PB-PH2O)- PaCO2 / R
• Where R is the respiratory Quotient.
• CO2 production in a normal adult is 200 ml/min,
• while 02 consumption is 250 m]/min. So R is equal to:
• R=200/250=0.8
Derivation of Alveolar Air Equation from
Dalton’s Law of Partial Pressure
According to Dalton's Law
• Pt = P1+P2+P3…………. Pn
• So PB = PAO2 + PAN2 + PAC02 + PH20
• PA02 = PB - PH20 - PAN2 - PACO2
• PAO2 = FiO2 (PB-PH2O)-PAC02/R
• PA02 = P1O2 - PACO2 /R
Effect of Hypoventilation on PAO2
According to Alveolar ventilation equation VA and Pa CO2 have
direct inverse relationship VA = VCO2 / PaCO2 x K
• 1f ventilation is halved; PaC02 is doubled i.e. 80 mmHg.
Let's put this value of PaC02 in alveolar air equation
• PAO2 = PiO2 – PaCO2 / R PAO2 = 150 – 80 / 0.8 So
= 150 – 100 = 50 mmHg
• If PaCO2 is increased to 80, PAO2 will decrease to 50 mm Hg
Calculating O2 Supplementation Requirement
Q. A patient has the PACO2 of 80 mmHg. His PAO2 is decreased
to 50 mm Hg. How much FiO2 we should provide to this patient
to bring his PAO2 to 100 mmHg?
• We have to calculate required FiO2
• For this we first calculate P1O2 Acc to Alveolar air equation
• PAO2= P1O2 - Pa CO2 / R 100 = P1O2 – 80 / 0.8
P102 = 100 + 80 / 0.8 = 100 +100 = 200 mm Hg
• Now required PiO2 is 200 mm Hg
• PiO2 = FiO2 x (PB-PH2O) FiO2 = PiO2 / (PB-PH20)
• FiO2 = 200 / 760 – 47 = 200 / 713 = 0.28
The Ohm’s Law
• The current flow between any two points is directly proportional
to the potential difference between those two points and inversely
proportional to the resistance. I = Δ V / R
• Application in Respiratory Physiology: Flow = ΔP / R
Application of Ohm’s Law in Human Physiology:
• Human physiology; CO, vascular resistance & BP
• Resistance in vessels is not exactly similar to electrical resistance
– Electrical resistance is not affected by the change in upstream
or downstream pressures
– Vascular resistance is changed if the pressure at the arterial or
venous ends changes due to dilatation and recruitment of
vessels at the capillary level
Flow
• Flow is defined as the quantity of a fluid passing a point in a unit
time. F = Q / t Where F=Flow, Q=quantity, and t=Time
Laminar Flow:
Fluid moves in a smooth and steady manner.
• Greatest in the centre (twice the mean flow) and minimum at the
sides of the tube, Parabolic profile.
Hagen Poiseuille's Formula:
• F ∝ ΔPr4 / η or F = π ΔPr4 / 8ηI
• If the radius of a tube is halved the flow will decrease by 16 times
Clinical implications
• Flow of gas : ETT size, tubing diameter & length.
• Blood flow in cannulas, CV lines, peripheral lines
.
Flow
Turbulent Flow
• Chaotic and random flow. It is characterized by the
presence of Eddie’s currents
• Reynold's Number = ρvd / η
• >2000= turbulent flow
• Here, ρ (rho) = density , v= velocity, d diameter, η= viscosity.
• When > 2000 flow changes from laminar to turbulent
FLOW
• Applications:
• Using an undersized ETT decrease the flow of gases
• Every piece of anaesthetic equipment effect FGF.
• Wide bore & curved rather than sharp angles preferred.
• In respiratory tract obstruction, oxygen – helium mixtures are
given to reduce density and improve the flow.
• Laminar flow during quiet breathing is changed to turbulent during
speaking & coughing ;
In the flow meter
• At low flows, Hagen – Poiseuille’s Law applies as flow is laminar
• At higher flows, the law applicable to turbulent flow is applicable.
Critical Flow
• Flow rates laminar flow changes to turbulent
• Numerical value for critical flow in liters per minute
for the anaesthetic gas mixture of O2 + N2O is the
same as the internal diameter in millimeters.
• For an ETT of 8mm, it is 8L/min.
• Breathing circuit it is 22L/min). At these flow rates
the flow changes to turbulent from laminar
Bernoulli’s Principle
• Flowing fluid possesses two forms of energy, kinetic
energy and potential energy.
• If there is a constriction in the tube, kinetic energy
increases and potential energy (pressure) falls, since
the total energy must remain the same.
• Application; Suction apparatus, nebulizers and fixed
performance venturi masks are such devices.
Coanda Effect
• If such a constriction occurs at bifurcation because of increase
in velocity and reduction in the pressure, fluid (air, blood)
tends to stick to one side of the branch causing maldistribution.
Applications
• Mucus plug at the branching of tracheo-bronchial tree may
cause maldistribution of respiratory gases.
• Unequal flow may result because of atherosclerotic plaques in
the vascular tree.
• Fluid logic used in ventilators employs this principle to replace
valves or mobile parts.
•
Fick's Law of Diffusion
• It states, "movement of a gas across a tissue is directly
proportional to the area, difference between partial pressure
across the tissue and diffusion constant, and is inversely
proportional to thickness of the tissue"
• Fick's Equation:
• Vgas ∝ A . D . (P1-P2)/T where
• Vgas = Volume of gas moving across
• A=Area T=Thickness of the Tissue
• D=Diffusion Constant (Diffusibility of the gas)
• P=Partial pressure of the gas
Application.
Diffusion of gases across Alveli, capillaries & placenta.
Graham's Law of Diffusion
• It states “diffusion of molecules is directly proportional to their
solubility, and inversely proportional to the square root of their
molecular weight".
The Diffusibility of a Gas: According to Graham's Law
Diffusion Constant (D) ∝ Solubility / √MW
• The dependence on inverse of mol wt has come from kinetic theory
of gasses. Which says that all gas at a particular temperature have
the same kinetic energy.
• 1/2 mv2 = K m=mass, and v=velocity. K = constant
• v = √2K/m so
• v ∝ 1 / √m
Henry’s Law
• It states "At a constant temperature, the amount of a given gas that
dissolves in a given type and volume of liquid is directly
proportional to the partial pressure of that gas in equilibrium
with that liquid.”
• Example: If we equilibrate water with air at 37° c in a closed
chamber at 150 mm Hg (PAO2),
• The amount of O2 in air would be 21 ml/dl (21%)
• While the amount of 02 in water or blood at same partial
pressure would be 0.45 ml/dl .
• Solubility = 0.45/150 = 0.003 ml/dl/mm Hg.
• By ↑ing partial pressure solubility can be ↑ ed
• Hyperbaric O2; By ↑ing external pressure dissolved O2 ↑es sig
• Divers; Use compressed air mixtures. 10meter dive= ↑ 1 atmp
• Beers Law; Absorption of radiation by a given
thickness and concentration of a solution is the same
as twice the thickness with half the concentration.
• Lamberts Law; Equal thicknesses absorb equal
amounts of radiation.
• Both laws say that the absorption of radiation
depends on the amount of a particular substance. This
fact has been utilized in pulse oximetry
The Laplace's Law
• The tension on the wall of a sphere is the product of the pressure
times the radius of the chamber and the tension is inversely related
to the thickness of the wall.
• T = P × R or P = T / R
• For Vessels : P = T / R & For spheres e.g. Bubbles P = 2T/R
For Alveoli P = 4T / R
• P= inward directed collapsing pressure
• T=surface tension & R-radius
Clinical implications:
• Aortic aneurysm is more likely to rupture than a normal segment of
the aorta because the radius is greater - increasing wall tension to
breaking point.
• Capillary will withstand a pressure of 100 mmHg better than a vein
because capillary has a tiny radius compared to vein.
Adiabatic Change
• The change of physical state of a gas, without the transfer of
heat energy to or from the surrounding environment.
• In rapid expansion, energy is required to overcome Van der
Waal’s forces of attraction.
• Energy cannot be gained from the surroundings, it is taken
from the kinetic energy of the molecules. Temp decreases.
• It is basis of the cryoprobe.
• In rapid compression, reverse occurs & the heat is produced
in large amount e.g. compression ignition in a diesel engine
(Joule - Thompson Effect or
Joule-Kelvin Principle).
