2 Solution Behavior Flashcards
Fluid
- a material that has the ability to flow
- not necessarily liquid
Density
Mass/Volume
Hydrostatics
- study of fluids that are not moving
- density and pressure are key
Hydrodynamics
study of fluids in motion
Pressure
P = force/area
doubling area will decrease pressure by factor of 4
Pascal’s Principle
- pressure applied to a confined fluid increases the pressure throughout the fluid by the same amount
ex. ) needle, uncapped - area is different, pressure is the same
Buoyancy
-all fluids exert force on objects immersed in them
Archimedes Principle
-an object immersed either totally or partially in a fluid feels a buoyant force equal to the weight of the fluid displaced
Floating & Density
density of object > density of fluid –> object sinks
density of object < density of fluid –> object floats
object sinks –> buoyant force if less than true object weight
object floats –> buoyant force is greater than true weight of object
Hydrometer
-simple device used to measure density or specific gravity of liquids
Laminar Flow
what we want!
flow is unchanging flow pattern, smooth and orderly
-r/t viscosity
Turbulent Flow
continuously carrying pattern of flow
increased resistance
-r/t density
Narrowing of tube causes speed to…
-increase tremendously
Bernouli’s Principle
- as speed of fluid increases the pressure exerted by the fluid decreases
- basis of venturi flowmeter
Viscosity
- a measure of fluids resistance to flow
- measured in poise
Poiseuille’s Law
- laminar flow rate of a liquid along a pipe is proportional to the 4th power of the pipe’s radius
- applies only to laminar flow!!
Change in radius and effect on flow
dramatic!
3 ways to increase the fluid flow rate through a catheter
- ) raise the bag
- ) larger gauge
- ) shorter length
Reynold’s Number
-predicts the flow at which laminar flow will become turbulent
>2000 turbulence will usually occur
*considerably high at ejection points of heart
Reynold’s Number is directly proportional to…
velocity
density
diameter
Reynold’s Number is inversely proportional to…
viscosity
Solution
a homogenous mixture that consists of one or more solutes uniformly dispersed at a molecular or ionic level throughout a solvent
