Steam Distillation

Steam Distillation

Principle of Steam Distillation: It is used to distil heat-sensitive components by passing steam through the mixture, causing volatile components to co-distil with water at temperatures lower than their boiling points. Methodology of Steam Distillation: Setup: Includes a steam generator, distillation flask, condenser, and collection vessel. Steam Introduction: Steam is introduced into the mixture, lowering … Read more

Fractional Distillation

Fractional Distillation

Principle of Fractional Distillation: Fractional distillation separates components of a mixture with close boiling points by using a fractionating column to achieve repeated condensation and vaporization cycles. Methodology of Fractional Distillation: Setup: Similar to simple distillation but includes a fractionating column between the distillation flask and the condenser. Heating: The mixture is heated, and vapours … Read more

Molecular Distillation

Molecular Distillation

Principle of Molecular Distillation: Molecular distillation is a type of vacuum distillation performed at extremely low pressures, allowing the distillation of high molecular weight, thermally unstable compounds. It involves a short path between the evaporator and the condenser. Methodology of Molecular Distillation: Setup: Includes a high vacuum system, short-path distillation apparatus, and a cold trap. … Read more

Distillation Under Reduced Pressure (Vacuum Distillation)

Distillation Under Reduced Pressure (Vacuum Distillation)

Principle of Vacuum Distillation: Distillation under reduced pressure (vacuum distillation) lowers the boiling points of the components in the mixture by reducing the ambient pressure, allowing distillation to occur at lower temperatures. Methodology of Vacuum Distillation: Setup: Similar to simple or fractional distillation but includes a vacuum pump to reduce the pressure in the apparatus. … Read more

Breast (Mammary Gland)

Breast (Mammary Gland)

The breast, or mammary gland, is a paired, modified sweat gland located on the anterior thoracic wall. Its primary biological function is to produce and secrete milk to nourish infants, a process known as lactation. The breast is composed of glandular tissue (lobes and lobules), connective tissue (including fat), ducts that transport milk to the … Read more

Female reproductive system of Anatomy

The female reproductive system

The female reproductive system consists of internal and external organs that function together for reproduction, hormone regulation, and the menstrual cycle. These organs are categorized into primary and accessory Primary Organ: Ovaries: The primary reproductive organs in female reproductive system responsible for producing ova (eggs) and secreting the hormones estrogen and progesterone. Each ovary contains … Read more

Sperm (Spermatozoa)

Sperm, or spermatozoa, are male reproductive cells that fertilize the female egg (ovum) to create an embryo, leading to the development of a fetus. Structure of Sperm (Spermatozoa) Sperm cells have a specialized structure consisting of three main parts: Head: Contains the nucleus with genetic material (DNA) passed to the offspring. Covered by the acrosome, … Read more

Male reproductive system of anatomy

Male reproductive system of anatomy

Male reproductive system is responsible for producing, storing, and transporting sperm and hormones needed for reproduction. It consists of both internal and external organs that work together to facilitate these functions. Here’s a detailed look at the Male reproductive system and its organs, classified as either primary or accessory organs: Primary Organ: Testes (Testicles): Located … Read more

Multiple Effect Evaporator (MEE)

Multiple Effect Evaporator

Principle of Multiple Effect Evaporator: Utilizes the vapor produced from one effect (stage) to heat the next effect, thus reusing energy and improving overall efficiency. Construction of Multiple Effect Evaporator: Effects (Stages): Multiple evaporators connected in series. Heat Exchangers: In each effect where the liquid is heated. Condensers: To condense the vapor from each effect. … Read more
