placement‚ I encountered an obese elderly man with type 2 diabetes who was bed bound. His BP was 98/73 so I decided to do a manual blood pressure (BP) to make sure it was not a mechanical error from the automatic machine and recorded 99/75. His other vital signs were in between the flags. I asked my patient how he was feeling‚ he said he felt fine. I told him his blood pressure was a bit low and if this was normal for him. He said it has been low a bit recently. I asked him if he could have a glass of water

EXPERIMENT: Pressure drop over a bubble cap plate. AIM : This experiment is conducted in an experimental test ring in which the effect of the variation in vapor and liquid flow rates on the pressure drop across bubble cap plates is simulated using air and water to represent the vapor and liquid respectively. THEORY: In a pilot tube the relation between the gas velocity and pressure drop is Where‚ is the differential pressure as expressed in the head of the fluid flowing. Where‚ ’=level
