little read: ... The cell membrane structure-Fluid mosaic model The cell membrane separates a watery cytoplasm from a watery external environment also known as ECF. The phospholipids are arranged in a double layer (lipid layer) with the hydrophilic heads facing outward (cytoplasm or ECF) and the hydrophilic tails turned in towards each other. The unsaturated fatty acids are not bonded to each other and form a fluid. Fluid Mosaic model. The term "fluid" is used because the phospholipid molecules and

Fluid Catalytic Cracking Fluid catalytic cracking* (FCC) is the most important conversion process used in petroleum refineries. It is widely used to convert the high-boiling hydrocarbonfractions of petroleum crude oils into more valuable [1][2][3] gasoline‚ olefinic gases and other products. . Cracking of petroleum hydrocarbons for conversion of heavy fractions into lighter fractions was originally done by thermal cracking which has been almost completely replaced by catalytic cracking because

point in a fluid has the same magnitude in all directions. (Pressure is a scalar) Variation of Pressure with Depth It will come as no surprise to you that pressure in a fluid at rest does not change in the horizontal direction. This can be shown easily by considering a thin horizontal layer of fluid and doing a force balance in any horizontal direction. However‚ this is not the case in the vertical direction in a gravity field. Pressure in a fluid increases with depth because more fluid rests on

greek words: cyto- cell‚ and metry - measurement. So cyto-metry is about making cell measurements. To elaborate‚ flow cytometry is a technique for analysing particles (cells in this case) which are suspended in a fluid stream by flowing the cells past an interrogation point. A light source is directed on to a hydrodynamically focused stream to create a zone for interrogation. As cells flow through this interrogation zone they scatter the light‚ at this point any fluorescent compounds that are inside
