Abstract

The experiment was done to investigate the relative roughness of pipe three though a plot of the friction factor verses the Reynolds number. A comparison of the obtain results was made against a Moody diagram. Also, additional comparison of the experimental results obtained from pipe 1 and 2 were made against theoretical values obtained through Prandtl and Blasius equations. This process entailed plotting the theoretical and the experimental values on the same comparative roughness against Reynolds number chart. Additional results of different types of flow, exhibited by the flowing fluid, was done and represented in a graph of head ...

Goel, Reema et al. 2015. Highly Reactive Free Radicals in Electronic Cigarette Aerosols. Chemical Research in Toxicology 28:9 (1675-1677). In this reported scientific study, a group of researchers from the Pennsylvania State University investigated whether the aerosol produced by an e-cigarette contains reactive, short-lived free radicals. Initially, the researchers proposed that the e-cigarette vapor may contain high concentrations of free radicals, presumably from the presence of high concentrations of free radicals from conventional cigarette smoke. It must be pointed out that reactive, short-lived free radicals, such as reactive oxygen species and reactive nitrogen species, are potentially toxic to organisms, ...

Smoking electronic cigarettes (or e-cigarettes), colloquially known as vaping, has become a rapid global trend. In fact, about a fifth of Americans aged 25 to 44 are using e-cigarettes (Hwang et al. 667).

It may well be that the courtier called lady Jang was a witch, but that remains hidden in the annals of Korean history as an unsearchable and hidden enigma. Making such a claim may not necessarily be well founded or otherwise, but what is known about the woman is that she enjoyed the graces of an emperor, and was therefore the object of much envy among her peers; a situation that would later turn into much scorn and derision, because the relationship between the two already had the underpinnings of adultery in high society.
