the meningiomas become large. Larger tumors compress brain tissue and nerves that are associated with the brain and spinal cord, and reactive swelling in brain tissue around the tumor causes symptoms in the patient. The blocking of cerebral spinal fluid causes an accumulation resulting in obstructive hydrocephalus, and blocking of blood flow occurs when veins or arteries are…

which cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) builds up in the brain (Mayo Clinic 2014). The causes of this disorder are still not well understood, but it may result from inherited genetic abnormalities, developmental disorders, tumors, and other injuries to the head that may cause a blockage. This blockage prevents the excess CSF that builds up in the brain from exiting, which adds pressure on the brain tissue that can lead to brain damage (NIH, 2012). Cerebrospinal fluid is a clear fluid that surrounds the…

The purpose of experiment six was to better understand how to measure and read volumetric flow rate of water through a pump, and to better understand how flow meters work. In this experiment, the relationship of the plot between the orifice and Venturi meter pressure differential showed many correlation with each other. The volumetric flow rate had a square root relationship with the previous stated pressure differentials. The error in this lab was also extremely low appearing at around…

Fluid dynamics relating to bluff bodies, non-streamlined structures or streamlined bodies at large angles of attack, remains a critical focus of study within the fluid mechanics community. One particular area of interests involves the occurrence of fluid-induced vibrations, or more commonly known as vortex-induced vibrations (VIV’s), exerted on bluff bodies. Due to the production of vortex shedding beyond bluff cross sections, an alternating pressure distribution produces periodic fluctuations…

relationship between flow and ∆P through a Venturi in a pipe at a various distances from the Venturi. THEORY: The Venturi flow meter is an equipment that uses the Bernoulli Effect and a manometer pressure gauge to measure the rate of flow of a liquid or fluid that is flowing through a pipe. There is also a part in the venture equipment that has a reduced cross-sectional area. When the liquid goes through this part, the speed (velocity) tend to…

that has been documented since 5th century B.C., with the first documentation of treatment from Hippocrates. Hippocrates could have been the first to attempt ventricular punctures, which involves puncturing the brain cavity to release Cerebrospinal fluids. Over…

Cerebrospinal fluid Cerebrospinal fluid is important to our body because it can help brain distribute the impact when a head gets injury so that it acts like a cushion, dulling the force. Cerebrospinal fluid is one part of the extracellular of the central nervous system and it is a clear, transparent, bodily fluid that occupies the subarachnoid space and the ventricular system around the brain and spinal cord. The Cerebrospinal fluid is produced by choroid plex, which is a structure in…

heat will be introduced to the device and the output of light remains constant, ensuring that all pictures are exposed to the same degree of lighting which is a requirement for effective image analysis. Once all of the settings have been in place fluid will be passed through the device and pictures of the system will be taken at periodic intervals over the course of several days. As has been described, air will be passed through the channel to allow greater visibility when images are taken. When…

Introduction The Pennsylvania Jackfork Group is located in the Ouachita Mountains, occupying Arkansas and Oklahoma. Several authors interpreted the Pennsylvania Jackfork Group as a classic flysch sequence in a submarine fan setting, dominated by turbidites. Shanmugam and Moiola (1995) reveal contrary evidence for the origin of these beds. They interpret the origin of these beds to be from debris-flow, slump, and bottom-current because slabbed samples from sedimentary features appear “massive”…

A fluid in which the viscous stresses taken place from its flow at all the point are linearly proportional to the rate of change in its deformation over time is called Newtonian fluid. Newtonian fluid explains the relationship between the shear rate and the shear stress is linear with the proportionality constant, which is to be referred as the coefficient of viscosity. Non-Newtonian fluid is a fluid where the properties of fluid flow are not similar with Newtonian fluid. In Newtonian fluids,…
