Dilution of the blood by IV administration of excessive amounts of hypotonic solutions, which causes progressive swelling and eventual rupture of the erythrocyte, also results in hemolysis. Also spelled haemolysis. Also called hematolysis. See also hemolysin, hemolytic anemia, transfusion reaction.
Rolling resistance is a complex phenomenon, but simply put, it is the energy a tire consumes while rolling under a load. The resistance is influenced by the friction between the tire tread and the road surface, and the amount of energy consumed by the flexing of the tire sidewalls as the tire rolls over the road.
Laminar Flow. The resistance to flow in a liquid can be characterized in terms of the viscosity of the fluid if the flow is smooth. In the case of a moving plate in a liquid, it is found that there is a layer or lamina which moves with the plate, and a layer which is essentially stationary if it is next to a stationary plate.
