Glomerular Filtration
What is the major force/pressure that causes filtration?
What is the major force/pressure that causes reabsorption?
What would happen to the filtration rate if glomerular
capillaries were damaged to an extent to be leaky to plasma
proteins?
Identifying how renal arterioles affect GFR
Complete the following table that describes how changes in the
diameters of these resistance vessels affect glomerular hydrostatic
pressure and GFR (assuming no change in renal arterial pressure)
with no change, increase, or decrease.

a) Discuss the theoretical principles of constant pressure
filtration relating it to plate and frame filtration
b) Give the industry application of this type of filter
c) Calculate the specific resistance of the cake (α) and the
resistance of the filter medium (Rm) on the basis of the following
experimental data for a constant pressure filtration of a
suspension of incompressible solids of concentration 30 kg/m3 on a
filter medium of area 1 m2 . The pressure drop was 2...
Boiling of water in an open container is a constant pressure
process. On earth water boils at 100 deg C (atmospheric pressure is
101.3 kPa). If we were to boil 2 kg of water on the surface of
Mars, how much energy (Q) do we need to supply? The ΔU for this
process is 4750 kJ. Specific volumes of water vapor and liquid are
206.00 and 0.00100 m3/kg, respectively.
A process is carried out at constant pressure. Given that ∆E is positive and ∆H is negative,
D) the system loses heat and contracts during the process
Which equation represents the reaction that corresponds to the standard enthalpy of formation b of CHCl3 at 25° (∆Hf of CHCl3)?C) 2 C(s) +H2(g) +3Cl2(g) ---> 2CHCl3(l)
The reaction 4 Ag(s) +O2(g) ---->2AgO(s) favors Ag2O at low temperature, but it favors Ag and O2 at high temperatures. How can this be explained in...
Derive expressions for constant rate filtration and
constant pressure difference filtration and explain clearly the
difference between these filtration techniques.
A certain process requires 2.8 cfs of water to be delivered at a
pressure of 30 psi. This water comes from a large-diameter supply
main in which the pressure remains at 60 psi. If the galvanized
iron pipe connecting the two locations is 200 ft long and contains
six threaded 90o elbows, determine the pipe diameter. Elevation
differences are negligible.
