AI Article Synopsis

  • Corrigan's pulse shows a rapid increase and decrease in pressure in the carotid arteries, typically seen in aortic regurgitation.
  • Water hammer pulse refers to a strong, bounding pulse felt in peripheral arteries.
  • Both types of pulses reflect different cardiovascular conditions and help in diagnosing heart health issues.

Article Abstract

Corrigan's pulse is characterized by the abrupt distension and quick collapse of carotid arteries in aortic regurgitation, whereas water hammer pulse is the characteristic pulse observed in peripheral arteries.

Water hammer (WH) is a phenomenon characterized by the rapid opening or closing of valves or pumps in pipelines, resulting in a disruptive noise, intense vibrations, and potential damage to pipes, fittings, structures, and even human safety. While WH arresters are commonly employed to mitigate this issue in smaller plumbing systems, alternative solutions are required for larger applications like power plants. Researchers have proposed the utilization of pipe materials with a low modulus of elasticity in areas prone to WH events, as these materials possess the capability to absorb a significant portion of the resulting vibrations.

Using renewable materials as primary components for constructing superhydrophobic coatings is an effective strategy for enhancing the environmental sustainability of anti-icing technologies. Alkali lignin, a by-product of the pulp and paper industry, was graft-modified with 1H, 1H, 2H, 2H-perfluorooctyltrichlorosilane to create a robust and multifunctional superhydrophobic coating for effective anti-icing. The results demonstrated that the industrial lignin-based coating achieved a contact angle of 162.

Hydraulic transients in long-distance pressurized water pipelines significantly impact their normal operation. This study develops a one-dimensional mathematical model for pressurized water pipelines using the method of characteristics and incorporates water hammer equations for dual-pipeline systems. The model is validated with experimental data, and simulations are conducted under real engineering conditions, focusing on valve closure operations.
