Yellow liquid in a feeding tube can be caused by liver issues, such as bile reflux or liver disease. It can also be a sign of infection or medication side effects. It's important to consult a healthcare provider to determine the exact cause and appropriate treatment.
A liquid-filled proving system uses a liquid-filled capillary tube connected to a pressure gauge to measure pressure. When pressure is applied to the system, it causes the liquid in the tube to move, which is then used to determine the pressure level. The movement of the liquid is typically calibrated to correspond to specific pressure values.
It is generally recommended to stop tube feeding while eating orally to avoid the risk of aspiration or overfeeding. This allows the individual to focus on eating safely and at their own pace. Once the oral feeding is complete, the tube feeding can be resumed as prescribed by a healthcare provider.
The glass tube in a fire sprinkler expands less than the liquid inside the tube when exposed to heat. This difference in expansion causes the glass tube to break and activate the sprinkler system in the event of a fire.
When a capillary tube of sufficient length is dipped into a liquid, the liquid rises or falls within the tube due to capillary action, which is the result of adhesive forces between the liquid and the tube's walls, and cohesive forces within the liquid itself. The height to which the liquid rises or falls is determined by the tube's diameter, the liquid's properties (such as surface tension and viscosity), and the interaction between the liquid and the tube material. This phenomenon is commonly observed with water in narrow tubes and is essential in various biological and engineering applications.
If tube feeding is not being absorbed properly, it may indicate issues such as gastrointestinal complications, tube placement problems, or a need for adjustment in feeding formulas. It is important to consult a healthcare provider to determine the cause and make necessary adjustments to ensure optimal nutrition and prevent potential complications.
Liquid is preferably used as it increased the medication's absorptivity and decreases the chances of the feeding tube becoming clogged.

Nutrients, either a special liquid formula or pureed food, are delivered to a patient through a tube directly into the gastrointestinal tract, usually into the stomach or small intestine.
Heat causes Mercury in the thermometer to expand, where as when it is cooled, it contracts.
It filters the liquid refrigerant and meters the liquid entering the evap. coil which causes a drop in pressure and causes the liquid to boil and absorb heat from the interior of the car and transfer it to the atmosphere outside.

humm... just a wild guess on a feeding tube?
Tube feeding is an example of Enteral nutrition

Nutrition is still important for coma patients. Doctors will insert a feeding tube into the patient so they can receive a liquid.
can be a mixture of regular foods that are blended with liquid to make a consistency that will pass through the tube. Nutritionally balanced liquid products are often more convenient to use and ensure a balance of proteins, fats, and carbohydrates
