For example, the cost of a CT scanner can be as low as $65,000 for a refurbished one that produces only small images quickly. A larger and brand new CT scanner can run as high as $2.5 million.Prices are slightly higher for MRI machines, running up to about $3 million for a new machine.Ultrasound machines are much cheaper at $10,000-$200,000, depending on brand and type. larger and brand new CT scanner can run as high as $2.5 million.

1 Second law of thermodynamics: In a natural thermodynamic process, the sum of the entropies of the interacting thermodynamic systems increases. 2  Equivalently, perpetual motion machines of the second kind are impossible.
He would counsel the introduction and use of the concept of internal energy as quickly as possible. Zemansky points to the First Law of Thermodynamics as a clarifying relationship. The First Law identifies both heat and work as methods of energy transfer which can bring about a change in the internal energy of a system. After that, neither the words work or heat have any usefulness in describing the final state of the sytem-we can speak only of the internal energy of the system.
