  • A review of the meaning of turbulence, and calculation of the Reynolds number for fluid moving through a tube. Focus it given to the concept's relationship to the heart murmurs, as well as the theoretical benefits of breathing a helium/oxygen mixture called Heliox.

    I actually laughed out loud when you said "You'll never need to do that unless you're a Mechanical Engineer", because that's exactly what im doing. Im using your videos to brush up on my fluid mechanics for a ME Exam, you explain the concepts so simply and clearly its great, and seeing them in the context of the body instead of just the computational crap that our textbooks have us doing is really refreshing and helps keep it relevant. Thanks for putting the time forward to do this, Its helping at least 1 future ME haha

      Ryan, I'm glad you're finding the videos helpful. Sorry they are aimed at health care professionals, so I skip over serious computational stuff or unusual physical scenarios, and instead stick mostly to general concepts and every day examples (at least every day in the hospital). I've always been an engineer at heart, but fluids were among the more challenging topics in undergrad. (i.e. you have my sympathies!)

    please help me understand the difference between wanting to increase diameter to decrease turbulence in an asthmatic and the earlier stated relationship between increased diameter and increased turbulence?

    Dear Sir,
    First of all many, many thanks for your inspiring way of lecturing and videos. I assume that the viscosity of Heliox resembles that of Air or is bigger? Other wise you decrease the density but run into another problem if the viscosity of Heliox is less than that of Air. Why, apart from technical challenges, does Heliox not contribute in the treatment of Asthma?
    yours Sincerely,
    Martijn Groenendijk the Netherlands

      There’s something I’m curious about, so far which do you think is harder medical school or engineering

    • @MaykonSantini
      @MaykonSantini 2 роки тому +1

      @@Dinasaurous honestly both are hard. Usually people who get along with medicine wouldn't get along with engineering. In medicine, even though there's a lot of logical thinking, there are many things you just have to "learn by heart". It can get pretty annoying for people who don't have this ability well developed. On the other hand, the long and complicated calculations of engineering, aside with the terrible classes we usually have, can turn it into a hell as well...
      So it's really personal. For me, I found medicine to be more difficult. It's important to bear in mind that medicine is very physically challenging too, due to long work hours and lack of sleep.

    Just a comment, murmur is caused not by increased turbulence but the increased velocity that increases the turbulence. In the basic level of blood flow which is pulsatile and turbulent. Otherwise, an excellent video on turbulence.
