4 Fluids Flashcards
Pascal’s principle
change in pressure transmitted undiminished to all points of fluid to walls
(ex. hydraulic lift)
Pascal’s equations
P = F(1) / A(1) = F(2) / A(2)
W = A(1)d(1) = A(2)d(2) W = P deltaV
*dependent on conservation of energy
Archimedes’ principle
buoyancy
submerged portion of solid displaces equal volume of liquid
mass of displaced water exerts force equal to its weight (m x a) against the floating object
Archimedes’ equations
F(B) = p(fluid) V(obj, sub) g
mass of displaced fluid = p(fluid) V(obj, sub)
sinking objects: F(g) ____ F(B)
greater
floating objects: F(g) _____ F(B)
equal
cohesion
molecules in middle of liquid experience equal attractive forces on any side
molecules on surface of liquid experience greater attractive force from within the liquid
(net force pulls them to center of liquid)
adhesion
molecules in liquid are more attracted to surface of their container than other liquid molecules
viscosity
measure of internal resistance to flow
*negligible in ideal fluids
Poiseuille’s Law
equation
laminar flow
Q = (pi r^4 deltaP) / 8(viscosity)L
turbulent flow
equation
when fluid reaches critical speed
v(c) = N(R) (viscosity) / p D
*laminar flow still occurs in boundary layer
conservation of mass continuity equation
Q = V(1)A(1) = V(2)A(2)
Bernoulli’s equation
(conservation of energy)
P(1) + (1/2) p v(1)^2 + pgh(1) = P(2) + (1/2) p v(2)^2 + pgh(2)
