What is the difference between hyponatremia and dehydration?

Dehydration is inadequate water in the body. It occurs when fluid losses from vomitting, diarrhea, urinating or "insensible losses" (through the breath and skin) exceed fluid intake. Hyponatremia means low sodium concentration in the blood. It can imply too little sodium in the body but more often is from an imbalance in the amount of sodium to water. This can be associated with dehydration if the sodium loss is greater than the water loss or from an increase in the total body water (often with increased total body sodium).


What is the temperature at which a liquid changes to a solid called is there a gain or a loss of energy?

Difference between major and minor losses in pipes?

The major losses within a pipe are those that occur through out the lenght of the pipe, they are caused by the interaction of the water particles and the inner surface of the pipe as water flows through it. Now minor losses are those that occur due to fitting and connections in a pipe sytem, such as 90 degree bends or turns, or valves, etc. These cause minor losses. Major losses are more significant than minor losses.

How many types of losses in transformer?

Basically two types: 1. Copper losses:- when the transformer is loaded, current flows in primary and secondary winding, there is loss of electrical energy due to the resistance of the primary winding, and secondary winding and they are called variable losses. These losses depend upon the loading conditions of the transformers. Therefore, these losses are also called as variable losses. 2. Iron losses or core losses:-The losses that occur in the core are known as core losses or iron losses. Two types of iron losses are: > eddy current loss > Hysteresis loss.
