Use of saturated sodium chloride solution as a tissue fixative

The present study was carried out to examine the capability of saturated sodium chloride solution as a fixative agent instead of formalin which is regarded as a carcinogenic material. For this purpose 3 rabbits were used and their livers, kidneys and spleens were exposed and removed. Neutral buffered formalin solution, saturated sodium chloride solution and distilled water were used as fixative...

Numerical Study of Natural Convection in a Square Cavity Filled with a Porous Medium Saturated with Nanofluid

Steady state natural convection of Al2O3-water nanofluid inside a square cavity filled with a porous medium is investigated numerically. The temperatures of the two side walls of the cavity are maintained at TH and TC, where TC has been considered as the reference condition. The top and the bottom horizontal walls have been considered to be insulated i.e., non-conducting and impermeable to mass...

Non-similar Solution for Mixed Convection in a Porous Medium Saturated with Nanofluid

This article explores the analysis of mixed convection boundary layer flow over a vertical flat plate embedded in a porous medium saturated by a nanofluid in the presence of radiation effect. The vertical plate is maintained at uniform and constant heat, mass and nanoparticle fluxes. The Darcy model is considered to describe the flow in the porous medium. The effects of Brownian motion and ther...

Unsteady Free Convection from a Sphere in a Porous Medium with Variable Surface Temperature

In this paper a transient free convection flow around a sphere with variable surface temperature and embedded in a porous medium has been considered. The temperature of the sphere is suddenly raised and subsequently maintained at values that varies with position on surface. The method of asymptotic expansions is applied for small Rayleigh numbers and then a finite-difference scheme is used to s...
