Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
What will be my capsular pressure if my NFP is 20, BHP is 60 and COP is 20 ____
A
20
B
10
C
40
D
30
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -NET FILTRATION PRESSURE (NFP) is the total pressure that promotes filtration. To calculate NFP, we subtract the forces that oppose filtration from the GBHP. NFP=GBHP-(CHP+BCOP) A normal NFP (using the figures mentioned) would be: NFP=55-(15+30)=55-45=10mm Hg.

Detailed explanation-2: -CC is related with torque directly. Higher CC means more torque. And faster the engine revs, more BHP is rated for it. Since diesel engines have lower RPM, their BHP rating is low, yet because of high CC, their torque is usually higher.
