A Note on the Laminar Heat Transfer in an Annulus

An exact solution for the fluid temperature due to forced convective heat transfer in an annulus is obtained as a solution of the eigen value problem

Antimicrobial Activity of Mollugo cerviana ser. (Molluginaceae)

The ethanolic extracts of aerial shoots of Mollugo cerviana and its leaf derived callus were tested for antimicrobial activity using the filter paper disk assay method. Both the extracts showed antibacterial activity against Bacillus subtilis and Escherichia Coli. The antifungal activity of the extracts against Aspergillus niger and Aspergillus flavus was nil or negligible

Anesthesia Management in an Edentulous Patient with Huge Parotid Tumour: Case Report

Huge head and neck tumors are known to cause difficult ventilation and difficult intubation. Edentulous mouth can result in difficult mask ventilation. Head and neck tumor resections can also present hemodynamic challenge, due to their proximity to large vessels. We herein report a clinical case of difficult ventilation due to large parotid tumor in an edentulous patient

Long Wavelength Peristaltic Transport of Non-Newton Fluids

Solutions are obtained for the stream function and the pressure field for the flow of non-Newtonian fluids in a tube by long peristaltic waves of arbitrary shape. The axial velocity profiles and stress distributions on the wall are discussed for particular waves of some practical interest. The effect of non- Newtonian character of the fluid is examined
