pathologies present the process becomes complicated. Duplex collecting systems is the main topic and how it may become complicated by vesicoureteral reflux (VUR) and ureterocele will be covered in this paper. Duplex collecting system‚ also known as double ureters‚ happens to be one of the most common congenital anomalies (Linn-Watson‚ 2014). In a normal kidney‚ there is only one ureter to drain each of the kidneys. In a duplex collecting system‚ one or both

the following formulas: DN = (rpm) * (bearing bore) and NDm = rpm * (( bearing bore + outside diameter) / 2) The NDm value uses pitch diameter rather than bore diameter because not all bearings of a given bore have the same element diameter‚ and thus have different surface speeds. Knowing the speed factor value and likely operating temperature‚ the minimum viscosity requirement can be read directly from charts like Figure 1. Figure 1. (Courtesy of ExxonMobil) Figure 1 assumes the base oils’

Fluid mechanics is the branch of physics that studies fluids (liquids‚ gases‚ and plasmas) and the forces on them. Fluid mechanics can be divided into 1) fluid statics‚ the study of fluids at rest; 2) fluid kinematics‚ the study of fluids in motion; 3) fluid dynamics‚ the study of the effect of forces on fluid motion. Fluid Mechanics Overview Fluid is a substance that is capable of flowing. It has no definite shape of its own. It assumes the shape of its container. Liquids and gases are

Chapter 3 Fluid Statics: Definitions Statics: ∑F = 0. In statics we have only pressure as surface force and weight as body force. Thus‚ when fluids are still‚ the pressure is balanced by the fluid weight. No relative motion between adjacent fluid layers. Shear stress is zero Only _______ can be acting on fluid surfaces Gravity force acts on the fluid (____ force) Applications: Pressure variation within a reservoir Forces on submerged surfaces Buoyant forces 9/4/2013 1 Pressure Pressure is defined

It is a broken wrist that involves a break of the forearm bone or radius bone on the side of the wrist that is near your thumb. What causes the broken wrist is falling onto an outstretched hand. It is said that “The fracture is almost always within an inch of the wrist joint‚ and may extend into the joint.” The fracture types can be described as either intra-articular‚ and extra-articular
