The students were then expected to select anappropriate source that would represent the left ventricular output pressure and use that source asthe input to each of the two windkessel models. A BFigure 1: Schematic of a three-element (panel A) and a four-element (panel B) windkesselmodel of the human vascular system.The deliverables for the exercise required that the students develop a hypothesis about the systemresponse to their chosen input and test that hypothesis using Multisim to simulate the windkesselmodel response to a 1.0 Hz input signal.

Fig. 4b depicts the change in settling pattern inthe intermediate regime. In this region the tiny and dense glass beads will settle thefastest and towards the bottom end of the elutriator, even below the largest beigeparticles. Note that the black and turquoise beads represent an azeotrope condition whereno separation between these two particles occurs. Page 23.1389.7 (a) (b)Figure 4
