  2. Respiratory droplet - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Respiratory_droplet

    A respiratory droplet is a small aqueous droplet produced by exhalation, consisting of saliva or mucus and other matter derived from respiratory tract surfaces. Respiratory droplets are produced naturally as a result of breathing, speaking, sneezing, coughing, or vomiting, so they are always present in our breath, but speaking and coughing ...

  3. Droplet-based microfluidics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Droplet-based_Microfluidics

    Droplet-based microfluidics often operate under low Reynolds numbers to ensure laminar flow within the system. [2] Droplet size is often quantified with coefficient of variation (CV) as a description of the standard deviation from the mean droplet size. Each of the listed methods provide a way to generate microfluidic droplets in a controllable ...

  4. Droplets (disambiguation) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Droplets_(disambiguation)

    Acoustic droplet ejection, move of fluid drops without any physical contact by means of ultrasound; Droplet-shaped wave, casual localized solutions of the wave equation; Electrodynamic droplet deformation, liquid droplets suspended in a liquid exposed to an oscillating electric field; Electron-hole droplets, condensed phase of excitons in ...

  5. Fluid thread breakup - Wikipedia

    Moreover, they also deduced the importance of mean curvature in the creation of excess pressure in the fluid thread. Through their analysis, they showed that surface tension can behave in two ways: an elastic mechanism that can support a hanging droplet and a pressure mechanism due to capillary pressure that promotes thread breakup.

  6. Drop (liquid) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drop_(liquid)

    The term droplet is a diminutive form of 'drop' – and as a guide is typically used for liquid particles of less than 500 μm diameter. In spray application , droplets are usually described by their perceived size (i.e., diameter) whereas the dose (or number of infective particles in the case of biopesticides ) is a function of their volume.

  7. Digital microfluidics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_microfluidics

    The droplet is moved to an electrode with a magnet on one side of the array with magnetic particles functionalized to bind to the analyte. Then it is moved over the electrode, the magnetic field is removed and the particles are suspended in the droplet. The droplet is swirled on the electrode array to ensure mixing.

  8. Droplet nucleus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Droplet_nucleus

    Droplet nuclei are formed by the "dried residua of larger respiratory droplets". [2] These particles are "the vehicle for airborne respiratory disease transmission, which are the dried-out residual of droplets possibly containing infectious pathogens". [3] Diseases such as tuberculous and COVID-19 can be transmitted via droplet nuclei. [2] [4]

  9. Science fair - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Science_fair

    A science fair or engineering fair is an event hosted by a school that offers students the opportunity to experience the practices of science and engineering for themselves. In the United States, the Next Generation Science Standards makes experiencing the practices of science and engineering one of the three pillars of science education.
