    Experiment 3: Fluid Flow Friction and Fitting Loss Objective To determine the pressure or head loss in different diameters pipes‚ joints and valves Theory Pipe flows belong to a broader class of flows‚ called internal flows‚ where the fluid is completely bounded by solid surfaces. In contrast‚ in external flows‚ such as flow over a flat plate or an airplane wing‚ only part of the flow is bounded by a solid surface. The term pipe flow is generally used to describe flow through round pipes

    Plasma Complexity! Plasma is said to a substance similar to gas in which a certain portion of the particles are ionized. The basic premise is that heating a gas dissociates its molecular bonds‚ rendering it into its constituent atoms. Further heating leads ionization‚ turning it into plasma: containing charged particles‚ positive ions and negative electrons. The presence of a non-negligible number of charge carriers makes the plasma electrically conductive so that it responds strongly to electromagnetic

    called peptidoglycans. Just inside the cell wall is a less rigid envelope called the plasma membrane also known as the cytoplasmic membrane. In bacterial cells the plasma membrane has two primary functions: it serves as a selective barrier to molecules that are penetrating the cell wall allowing water and oxygen to flow easily into the cell but restricting other proteins from entering; secondly‚ the plasma membrane contains enzymes proteins that cause chemical reactions to occur that are vital to the

    from the two prevailing groups co-existing inside Canada (Anglophones and Francophones)‚ the presence of the minorities contributes in its culture‚ language and values (Burnet 66 and Bibby 158‚ 162-169). This gives out to a mosaic idea of Canada (Bibby 158‚ Burnet 71). The mosaic means putting together distinctive characteristics among the people leaving in Canada. This means every ethnicity‚ including English and French‚ must preserve their own culture and language in particular. For me‚ this impression

    Fluid and Electrolytes Imbalances Fluid Compartments: * Extracellular Fluid (ECF) – This is fluid found outside of the cells and the amount of ECF decreases with age. In the newborn for example‚ approximately ½ of the body fluid is contained in the ECF. By the time the infant has reached one year old; the ECF has decreased to approximately 1/3 of the total volume. In an average 70 kg adult the ECF is approximately 15 liters of total volume. ECF can further be divided into the following:

    Fewer people know that there are actually more states of matter‚ including the fourth and fifth states: plasma and the Bose-Einstein Condensate‚ or BEC. The plasma and Bose-Einstein Condensate states of matter‚ while having some similarities‚ are two completely different forms of matter and connect with the Kinetic Molecular Theory in differing ways. Plasma is the fourth state of matter. It’s a fluid‚ gas-like substance that consists of a mixture of free electrons‚ neutral atoms‚ and charged ions. It
