Throughout history, we as humans are driven to survive and reach our full potentials every day. Pursuing this drive to excellence would not be obtainable without our ability to not only create ideas, but to create movements. As simple as this sounds, without the intra-articular joints within our bodies, we couldn’t pursue the drive towards excellence. One of the most important joints within the human body is the hip. This joint provides the human body with the necessary stability and strength to…

What is arthroscopy? Arthroscopy is a surgical procedure in which a small camera (arthroscope) is inserted into the knee joint. Usually the surgery is viewed on a monitor so that the whole operating team is aware of the type of surgical procedure that is being performed. What can be seen and done with the arthroscope? The arthroscope allows the surgeon to see many structures inside the joint. The development of…

Blood Flow as a Casson Fluid 1 THE PROBELM This problem was chosen from Problems for Biomedical Fluid Mechanics and Transport Phenomena section 8, because of my interest in biomedical engineering. How the body works on the most fundamental chemical and physical levels is something that has always fascinated me. This problem, and others in the section on blood flow, offered me a chance to delve deeper into how the body works as well as transport phenomena. The problem gave us a solved velocity…

Objectives With the use of similar apparatus equipment through constant temperature at atmospheric pressure, the viscosity will be determined by tests in two different fluids in sets of two ball trials; along with data collected from a third set. By reducing errors and obstructions it will justify data for better discuss and calculated results, supporting the theory beyond the lab report to resonate in helping others comprehend the experiment. Procedure The experiment was…

media. The fluidized bed is when the air make the solid to behave like a fluid. For this experiment, two columns are use which one column are filled with sand and the other one filled with aluminum oxide. The bed height of aluminum oxide is 100 mm and have a particle size about 250 micron (mesh 60). The minimum fluidization velocity is used to determine the pressure drop. As mentioned above, when the solid behave like a fluid the bed is at fluidize state. So, minimum fluidization occur when the…

Computational Fluid Dynamics Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) is the simulation of fluids in engineering systems using modeling such as mathematical physical problem formulation and numerical methods like discretization methods, solver, numerical parameters and grid generation. Computational fluid dynamics is based on the concept of Reynolds averaging of the unsteady Navier-Stokes equation commonly known as (RANS) which are considered by Leishman to be the most adaptable method for…

Fluid dynamics and Bernoulli's equation Moving fluids Fluid dynamics is the study of how fluids behave when they're in motion. This can get very complicated, so we'll focus on one simple case, but we should briefly mention the different categories of fluid flow. Fluids can flow steadily, or be turbulent. In steady flow, the fluid passing a given point maintains a steady velocity. For turbulent flow, the speed and or the direction of the flow varies. In steady flow, the motion can be represented…

Friction loss is defined as the pressure loss or head loss that usually occurs in pipeline fluid flow because of the viscosity effect near the surface of the pipe. When the fluid flows along the pipeline, it produces frictional resistance thus results in loss of energy or total head loss of the fluid. Therefore, experiment was conducted to verify the Darcy Weisbach equation by determining the pressure loss along a horizontal pipe. Figure A below shows the diagram of friction loss along a…

reducing pressure or for the restricting flow. An orifice plate is a thin plate with a hole in it, which is usually placed in a pipe. When a fluid (either liquid or gaseous) passes through the orifice, its pressure builds up slightly upstream of the orifice. But as the fluid is forced to converge to pass through the hole, the velocity increases & the fluid pressure decreases. Orifice Plate is the heart of the Orifice Meter. It restricts the flow & develops the differential pressure which is…

consider removing a circle of plastic from the bottom of the cup with the diameter of a regular pencil. How long will it take to drain all of the water? How much liquid is falling from the cup each second? Because of the work that has been done in fluid dynamics, we have a simple formula to help us answer these questions. Q=aC2gh In which Q represents the flow rate, a represents the cross sectional area of the hole, C is a coefficient in regards to the efficiency of liquid flow through the hole…
