Pathophysiology of Disease: (Swelling of tissues produced by an obstruction to the lymph flow in an extremity. Results in excessive accumulation of fluid in the interstitial space.) Lymphedema can be classified as primary (congenital malformations) or secondary (acquired obstruction. Swelling in the extremities occurs due to an excessive increased amount of lymph fluid due to an obstruction of lymphatic system. The obstruction may be in both the lymph nodes and the lymphatic vessels. Eventually this will

issues. Turbine enclosed in a diffuser is based on the principle that the generated power output by a tidal turbine is directly proportional to the cube of velocity of incoming fluid flow. Thus‚ even a minor increase in velocity considerably increases the generated power output. The diffuser helps accelerate the incoming fluid flow. Hence‚ the efficiency of the turbine is significantly increased by using a diffuser. It is challenging to accelerate the incoming flow by using a diffuser due to its shape

occurs in the pipe flow due to viscous effects generated by the surface of the 3mm ID pipe. It is understandable that friction loss is a major loss rather than minor loss including energy lost due to obstructions. Loss of head occurred by the mixing of fluid which occurs at fittings such as bends or valves‚ and also frictional resistance at the pipe wall. Besides‚ the major part of the head loss will be due to the local mixing near the fittings. Figure 1.0 Illustration of Fully Developed Flow along a

INTRODUCTION Open- and closed-loop transfer functions have certain basic characteristics that permit transient and steady-state analyses of the feedback-controlled system. Five factors of prime importance in feedback-control systems are stability‚ the existence and magnitude of the steady-state error‚ controllability‚ observability‚ and parameter sensitivity. The stability characteristic of a linear time-invariant system is determined from the system’s characteristic equation. Routh’s stability

Introduction The water system in any pharmaceutical organization is of vital importance. It is widely used in pharmaceuticals and related industries. Water used in process and in cleaning must be pure and free from microbial and chemical impurities. Laboratories need pure water free of foreign substances‚ which could potentially affect the outcome of analyses‚ and the pharmaceutical industry needs pure water for a variety of purposes – everything from cleaning to the use of pure water as an ingredient

computer programs are discussed. Keywords Panel method (fluid dynamics)‚ incompressible potential flow‚ application programs (computer)‚ computational fluid dynamics. INTRODUCTION Incompressible inviscid flow is governed by Laplace¡¦s equation. An extremely general method to solve this equation is the panel method. The flow may be about a body of any shape or past any boundary. Almost any boundary conditions‚ not just due to the fluid flow‚ can be solved. For 2-dimensional problems‚ the profile

Mineral oil is most commonly put to use in our daily lives as baby oil‚ which has a fragrance added to it. It is clear‚ odorless and colorless. It is formed as a by-product during the distillation of petroleum from crude oil‚ to produce gasoline and other petroleum-based products. It is produced in very large quantities and is inexpensively available in drug stores. Due to its easy availability and low value‚ it is put into use in a wide range of avenues. As a Laxative Doctors often recommend
