  2. Urinary retention - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Urinary_retention

    Self catheterization requires doing the procedure periodically during the day, the frequency depending on fluid intake and bladder capacity. If fluid intake/outflow is around 1.5 litres per day, this would typically be performed roughly three times per day, i.e. roughly every six to eight hours during the day, more frequently when fluid intake ...

    Standard fuel bladder tanks sizes range from 100-US-gallon (380 L) to 200,000-US-gallon (760,000 L) capacities and larger. Custom fuel storage bladders and cells are available, although at sizes exceeding 50,000 US gallons (190,000 L) there is an increased spill risk.

    In addition to military aircraft, some military vehicles feature self-sealing fuel tanks, such as the United States Marine Corps' LAV-AT armored vehicles. [11] A notable example of a non-military vehicle that uses self-sealing fuel tanks is the U.S. presidential state car, having used them since John F. Kennedy's SS-100-X. [12] [13]

  8. Dimensionless numbers in fluid mechanics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dimensionless_numbers_in...

    Dimensionless numbers (or characteristic numbers) have an important role in analyzing the behavior of fluids and their flow as well as in other transport phenomena. [1] They include the Reynolds and the Mach numbers, which describe as ratios the relative magnitude of fluid and physical system characteristics, such as density, viscosity, speed of sound, and flow speed.

    It begins with the active secretion of a hydrogen ion (H +) into the tubule fluid via a Na/H exchanger: In the lumen The H + combines with HCO 3 − to form carbonic acid (H 2 CO 3) Luminal carbonic anhydrase enzymatically converts H 2 CO 3 into H 2 O and CO 2; CO 2 freely diffuses into the cell; In the epithelial cell
