2011 Pre-course Learning Objectives: Fluids and Electrolytes: 1. Identify and describe the composition of the fluid compartments within the body Either Intracellular fluid (ICF- 2/3 of the body’s water) or extracellular fluid (ECF -one third of the body’s water). The two main extracellular fluid compartments are the interstitial fluid and the intravascular fluid‚ which is the blood plasma. Other ECF compartments include the lymph and the transcellular fluids such as the synovial ‚ intestinal‚

Fluid Mechanics 3-Aerofoil Lab Report Introduction This report aims to investigate the effect the angle of attack of an aerofoil has on the air flow around it. This was done by recording the lift and drag forces the aerofoil experienced when positioned at different angles of attack. The experimental lift force the aerofoil experienced when positioned at different angles of attack was then compared with theoretical values. An attempt was made to explain any discrepancies

Solutions (Week-01) Chapter-01 1-12 A plastic tank is filled with water. The weight of the combined system is to be determined. Assumptions The density of water is constant throughout. Properties The density of water is given to be = 1000 kg/m3. Analysis The mass of the water in the tank and the total mass are mw =V =(1000 kg/m3)(0.2 m3) = 200 kg mtotal = mw + mtank = 200 + 3 = 203 kg Thus‚ 1-14 The variation of gravitational acceleration above the sea level is given as

Alterations in Fluids‚ Electrolytes‚ and Acid-Base Balance Composition & Compartment Distribution of Body Fluids ← Body fluids are distributed between the intracellular fluid (ICF) and extracellular fluid (ECF) compartments. The ICF compartment consists of fluid contained within all of the billions of cells in the body. It is the larger of the two compartments‚ containing approximately two thirds of the body water in healthy adults. ← The remaining one third of body water is in

ABSTRACT This report aims to measure the pressure variation and different contributing components of the drag force on a circular cylinder. The devices used in this experiment were a fan‚ closed-channel venturi-shape pipe‚ a Pitot tube‚ circular cylinder with holes of different angles‚ U-tube manometers and a barometer. INTRODUCTION When a fluid is passing through an object‚ it produces a total force on the object. This force is a combined force of lift and drag forces (Anderson 2007). External

Although different in many respects‚ liquids and gases have a common characteristic in which they differ from solids; they are fluids‚ lacking the ability of solids to offer permanent resistance to a deforming force.

and then knowing better some aspects of different cultures. That is why cross-cultural communication is an essential exercise to do; a person who come from a certain country does not necessarily get the same ideas about time‚ death‚ identity‚ as another one from a different country because each person has its own identity. The study of cross-cultural communication is central to both theoretical and applied linguistics. Cross Cultural communication holds various differences which can be categories

Bending of a Channel Section Experiment Two: Stiffness Report from laboratory work performed on 12 May 2011 as a part of the unit of study CIVL2201 Structural Mechanics Abstract This report has been written to describe an experiment performed on a channel section examining the stiffness of the beam through two differing types of deformation – curvature and deflection. The aim of the experiment was to determine the value of the flexural rigidity (EI) in two different ways; using the curvature

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 8 Flow in Pipes 8-76E Solution The flow rate through a piping system between a river and a storage tank is given. The power input to the pump is to be determined. Assumptions 1 The flow is steady and incompressible. 2 The entrance effects are negligible‚ and thus the flow is fully developed. 3 The flow is turbulent so that the tabulated value of the loss coefficients can be used (to be verified). 4 The elevation difference between the free surfaces of the tank and the river remains constant
