Flow meters are classed as volumetric or inferential, the latter term referring to meters that determine velocity from other variables such as pressure differences across a device such as an orifice plate. There is a large variety of flow measurement device, using numerous physical principles. Full discussion of the whole range of flow…[Leia mais]

Many hospitals have implemented policies to restrict or ban the use of devices made of natural rubber latex (NRL) in healthcare as precautionary measures against the perceived risk of NRL allergy. Changes in glove technology, progress in measuring the specific allergenic potential of gloves and a dramatic decrease in the prevalence of NRL…[Leia mais]

A new humid air humidifier was designed and built. It is composed with two identical stages. The condensation is achieved on vertical tubes. Many configurations are tested. A thermodynamic model has been established. This model predicted the performances of each stage. The results showed that the flow rate of pure water produced by…[Leia mais]
