Internal Combustion Engine

Internal Combustion Engine

The internal combustion engine is a heat engine that uses the byproducts of combustion as the working fluid instead of using a heat transfer medium to transfer heat. The combustion is done in a way that produces high-pressure combustion products that can be expanded through a turbine or piston to create work. Internal combustion engines can again be categorized into three kinds: (1) spark ignition gasoline engines, most commonly used in automobiles, (2) compression ignition diesel engines that...

Torque

Torque

Torque is an important quantity for describing the dynamics of a rotating rigid body. We see the application of torque in many ways in the world, such as when pressing the accelerator in a car, which causes the engine to apply additional torque on the drivetrain. Here, we define torque and provide a framework to create an equation to calculate torque for a rigid body with fixed-axis rotation.
Torque can be considered as the rotational counterpart to force. Since forces change the translational...

Otto and Diesel Cycle

Otto and Diesel Cycle

An Otto engine is a four-stroke engine that uses a mixture of gasoline and air as the working fuel. The fuel is injected into the cylinder, and the piston is moved completely down so that the cylinder is at maximum volume. By moving the piston up, adiabatic compression takes place. The spark plug ignites the gasoline-air mixture, and the burning fuel adds heat to the system at a constant volume. The heated mixture expands adiabatically and gets further cooled by exhausting heat, and this cyclic...

Rolling Resistance

Rolling Resistance

When a solid cylinder rolls steadily on a rigid surface, the normal force applied by the surface on the cylinder is perpendicular to the tangent at the contact point. However, since no materials are entirely rigid, the surface's reaction to the cylinder involves a range of normal pressures.
For instance, imagine a hard cylinder rolling on a comparatively soft surface. The cylinder's weight compresses the surface beneath it. As the cylinder moves, the material in front of it slows down due to...

Design Example: Automobile Ignition System

Design Example: Automobile Ignition System

The automobile's ignition system plays a vital role by ensuring the timely ignition of the fuel-air mixture in each cylinder. This ignition is facilitated by a spark plug, which is composed of two electrodes separated by an air gap. A spark forms across this air gap when a substantial voltage is generated between the electrodes, leading to the ignition of the fuel.
One can generate a large voltage using a car battery of 12 volts with the help of inductors. Inductors are known for opposing rapid...

Design of Transmission Shafts

Design of Transmission Shafts

The design of a transmission shaft is governed by two primary specifications: the power it transmits and its rotational speed. These parameters guide the selection of the shaft's material and cross-sectional dimensions, ensuring that the material's maximum shearing stress remains within the elastic limit while transmitting the desired power at the given speed. The system's power is intrinsically linked to the applied torque. The torque applied to the shaft can be calculated by reconfiguring the...

Background:

Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a common neurodevelopmental disorder.
Methylphenidate is a primary medication for ADHD treatment.
Daytrana is a transdermal methylphenidate patch.

Purpose of the Study:

To analyze the utilization patterns of Daytrana in the United States during its initial year of market availability.
To identify the prescribing specialties and demographic characteristics of Daytrana users.

Main Methods:

Retrospective analysis of prescription data.
Data collected from May 2006 to April 2007.
Comparison with broader ADHD market user demographics.

Main Results:

A total of 512,085 Daytrana prescriptions were issued in the first year post-launch.
Psychiatry accounted for 34% of all Daytrana prescriptions.
Children and adolescents constituted 88% of Daytrana users, compared to 57% in the overall ADHD market.

Conclusions:

Daytrana experienced substantial uptake in its first year, particularly within psychiatric practice.
The drug's user base skewed younger, with a higher proportion of pediatric and adolescent patients compared to the general ADHD population.
These findings highlight specific prescribing trends and patient populations for this ADHD medication.
