Digestion Essay The path of digestion begins in the mouth when food is broken down mechanically, into smaller pieces, by the teeth and tongue. The complex carbohydrates found in the food are also broken down chemically with the help of the enzyme (ptyalin), found in saliva.
apparent viscosity. (fluid mechanics). The value obtained by applying the instrumental equations used in obtaining the viscosity of a Newtonian fluid to viscometer measurements of a non-Newtonian fluid. 1  Facebook. 2  Twitter.
Apparent power is the magnitude of the vector sum (S) of real (P) and reactive (jQ) AC power vectors. A volt-ampere (VA) is the unit used for the apparent power in an electrical circuit, equal to the product of root-mean-square (RMS) voltage and RMS current. In direct current (DC) circuits, this product is equal to the real power (active power) in watts.
