Insulin pumps send insulin through a small catheter continuously in small doses. This is places in a subcutaneous area and stays there for 2 or 3 days. The insulin pump is usually placed in the abdomen area or the buttocks. When it’s time for meals or snacks the patient can push a button which sends a bolus of insulin. This method is for patients who wants to have good control of the glucose levels and have a flexible lifestyle. Oral hypoglycemic medication is for patients who have type 2 diabetes

counter flow arrangements 1.0 INTRODUCTION A heat exchanger is equipment in which heat exchange takes place between 2 fluids that enter and exit at different temperatures. The main function of heat exchanger is to either remove heat from a hot fluid or to add heat to the cold fluid. The direction of fluid motion inside the heat exchanger can normally categorised as parallel flow‚ counter flow and cross flow. For parallel flow‚ also known as co-current flow‚ both the hot and cold fluids flow in the

IN THE SELECTION FLOW METER There are well over 20 different types of flow meters‚ even if we lump the various positive-displacement flow meters together as one type. Unless the process engineer knows the pros and cons of each type‚ it can be a daunting task to properly select one. Here are just some of the factors to consider before selecting a flow meter: • Its size and measuring range of the flow meter • Chemical compatibility • Process accuracy requirements• Pressure requirements •

A turbine is a rotary mechanical device that extracts energy from a fluid flow and converts it into useful work. 1.Steam Turbines 2. Wind Turbines 3. Water Turbines 4. Gas Turbines It is a device that extracts thermal energy from pressurized steam and uses it to do mechanical work on a rotating output shaft. The steam turbine is a form of heat engine that derives much of its improvement in thermodynamic efficiency through the use of multiple stages in the expansion of the steam

shape nor a fixed volume. Gases exert pressure‚ are compressible‚ have low densities and diffuse rapidly when mixed with other gases. On a microscopic level‚ the molecules (or atoms) in a gas are separated by large distances and are in constant‚ random motion. When dealing with gases‚ the Ideal Gas Law equation is the most famous equation used to relate all the factors in dealing and solving the problem. The four factors or variables for gas are: pressure (P)‚ volume (V)‚ number of mole of gas

How a person acts under pressure tells a lot about what that person is like. A valuable strategy is to observe yourself when the pressure is off and when the pressure is on‚ notice the differences and see if you can learn something that may help you become successful. If you put a grape into a press and turn up the pressure what happens? Well of course the grape gets squashed but what do you get? You only get 4 things; grape juice‚ grape pulp‚ grape seeds and grape skins. Why? Because no matter
