Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
The amount of air entrained depends on both the diameter of the jet orifice and the size of the air-entrainment ports (Figure 6-27). For a fixed jet size, the larger the entrainment ports, the greater is the volume of air entrained and the higher is the total flow (Figure 6-27, B). The en-trained volume can still be altered, with fixed entrainment ports, by changing the jet diameter (Figure 6-27, C). A large jet results in a lower gas velocity and less entrainment, whereas a small jet boosts velocity, entrained volume, and total flow.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
In respiratory care, the most common application of fluid entrainment is the air injector.
