Otto and Diesel Cycle01:27

Otto and Diesel Cycle

3.9K
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...

Pumped Concrete01:13

Pumped Concrete

404
Concrete in large quantities can be pumped across long distances for placing in inaccessible sites. This system comprises a hopper that receives concrete from a mixer, a pump to propel the concrete, and pipelines that facilitate its delivery.
For direct-acting pumps, the concrete enters the pump via the inlet valve under the action of gravity and suction created by the movement of the piston. This concrete is then forced into the pipeline and out through the outlet valve by the forward movement...

Summary

Accidental diesel ingestion via siphoning caused severe esophageal erosion and lung injury. Despite initial treatment, the patient developed complications and died after prolonged hospitalization.

Area of Science:

  • Toxicology
  • Internal Medicine
  • Gastroenterology

Background:

  • Diesel fuel, a petroleum distillate, is widely used in engines and poses toxic risks.
  • Exposure routes include ingestion, inhalation, and dermal contact.
  • Siphoning diesel with the mouth is a common practice in rural areas, increasing risks of accidental ingestion and aspiration.

Observation:

  • A case report details a patient who accidentally ingested diesel while siphoning.
  • The ingestion led to severe erosion of the oral cavity and esophagus.
  • Complications included pneumomediastinum and extensive chemical lung injury.

Findings:

  • The patient initially responded to steroids and supportive care.
  • Prolonged hospitalization was necessary due to the severity of the injury.

  • The patient developed nosocomial infections and unfortunately died 23 days post-admission.

    • Implications:

    • This case underscores the severe health hazards associated with accidental diesel ingestion.
    • Highlights the need for awareness and safer practices in communities where siphoning is prevalent.
    • Emphasizes the potential for life-threatening complications from chemical lung injury and subsequent infections.
