Filtration is commonly the mechanical or physical operation which is used for the separation of solids from fluids (liquids or gases) by interposing a medium through which only the fluid can pass. Oversize solids in the fluid are retained‚ but the separation is not complete; solids will be contaminated with some fluid and filtrate will contain fine particles (depending on the pore size and filter thickness). Filtration is also used to describe some biological processes‚ especially in water treatment and sewage

Name: Affiliated Institution: Course: Date: Water Filtration The methods used in this experiment are simple filtration methods which are used by many water companies worldwide. In this experiment simple lab equipment was used‚ after contaminating water with various contaminants the water was filtered by using cheesecloth‚ sand‚ activated charcoal and alum. The contaminants used in the experiment are the most common and the most hazardous. They include; cleaning detergents

Gel filtration GEL FILTRATION OF PROTIENS Aim: The aim of this experiment is to identify proteins from a complex mixture using the gel filtration technique also known as size exclusion chromatography. This technique is widely used by biochemists when proteins larger than the pores are excluded from the column and the smaller molecules elute last and then collected in test tubes for examination by spectroscopic techniques. The red/brown proteins‚ in particular‚ will be observed closely

Regulation of Arterial pressure --long term: excreting variable amounts of sodium and water --short term: secreting vasoactive factors or substances such as rennin 4. Regulation of Acid-Base balance --the only means of eliminating sulfuric acid and phosphoric acid 5. Regulation of Erythrocyte Production

Practical 2: Observation of mammalian kidney model and tissue slides. Analyzing kidney filtration using simple filtration system Introduction: Kidney is part of mammalian’s body endocrine system. Every mammals have a pair of kidneys that is located at the middle back of the body and symmetrically beside the spine and below the rib cage. A kidney approximately 0.5% of the organism body weight. Every kidney will receive huge amount of blood to enable them to perform important task. The base unit of

the drag is a function of the sphere diameter‚ d; the pipe diameter‚ D; the fluid velocity‚ v; and the fluid density‚ ρ. (a) What dimensionless parameters would you use for this problem? (b) Some experiments using water indicate that for d = 0.005 m‚ D = 0.0125 m‚ and v = 0.6 m/s‚ the drag is 6.5×10-3 N. If possible‚ estimate the drag on a sphere located in a 0.6 m diameter pipe through which water is flowing with a velocity of 1.85 m/s. The sphere diameter is such that geometric similarity is
