Q

What is the speed of sound at sea level?

17
Q

What is ISA?

A

International standard atmosphere

18
Q

If a liquid is compressible, what would happen when the pressure is increased?

A

Raise temp, lower viscosity, increase velocity.

19
Q

What is pascals law?

A

When pressure is applied to a liquid in a container, it exerts pressure at right angles.

20
Q

What is static pressure?

A

It exists in addition to any dynamic factors that are already there.

21
Q

What is dynamic pressure?

A

The pressure that emerges from velocity of fluid in motion.

22
Q

What is total pressure?

A

The sum of dynamic and static pressure.

23
Q

Which type of pressure does pascals law apply too?

24
Q

What is Bernoulli’s theorem?

A

When energy is neither added or taken from a fluid in motion, the potential energy and pressure decrease when the kinetic and velocity increase.

25
What did Bernoulli realise?
The potential energy is created by the fluids pressure, whereas the kinetic energy is caused by the fluids movement.
