You may wish to not read the following if you plan on taking TBR CBT 2 and haven't yet done so.
6. Deuterium enrichment of a species would be enhanced by making which of the following changes in the effusion tube?
A. Increasing the radius
B. Decreasing the radius
C. Increasing the number of segments
C is the best answer. Deuterium enrichment of a species would be enhanced by increasing the length of the effusion tube. This can be accomplished by increasing the number of segments in the tube, making choice C the correct answer and choice D an incorrect answer. Since changing the effusion tube's radius does not affect the length of the tube, we can eliminate choices A and B. The best answer is C.
D. Decreasing the number of segments
Based on the passage, I understood as much as to eliminate A & B. However, I'm having trouble understanding conceptually why more segments would accomplish this. Any takers?
