The gauge on an H cylinder of O2 reads 2000 psig. Approximately how long would the contents of this cylinder last, until completely empty, at a flow of 6 L/min?
 
  a. 1 hr 30 min
  b. 17 hr 30 min
  c. 18 hr 10 min
  d. 21 hr 50 min

Question 2

Under what conditions will the gauge pressure of a cylinder of N2O accurately represent its con-tents?
 
  1. When the liquid in the cylinder has completely vaporized
  2. When the ambient temperature exceeds the critical temperature
  3. When the filling density is less than 1.0 (water-filled)
  a. 1 and 2 only
  b. 1 and 3 only
  c. 2 only
  d. 1, 2, and 3

Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Once the factor for a given gas and cylinder is known, calculating the duration of flow is a sim-ple matter of applying the following equation:
Duration of flow (min) = Pressure (psig)  Cylinder factor/Flow (L/min)

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Should a cylinder of nitrous oxide warm to 97.5 F (its critical temperature), all the contents would convert to gas. Only at this temperature and above does the cylinder gauge pressure accu-rately reflect cylinder contents.

People who have myopia, or nearsightedness, are not able to see objects at a distance but only up close. It occurs when the cornea is either curved too steeply, the eye is too long, or both. This condition is progressive and worsens with time. More than 100 million people in the United States are nearsighted, but only 20% of those are born with the condition. Diet, eye exercise, drug therapy, and corrective lenses can all help manage nearsightedness.
