Definitions 📓 Flashcards
what is flow rate?
a measure of how quickly fluids move, which is measured in volume per unit time
what is viscosity?
a measure of how easily a fluid’s particles are able to slide past one another
what is cohesion?
a measure of how strongly the particles of a fluid attract each other
what is adhesion?
the attraction between the particles of one substance and the particles of another substance
what are fluid mechanics?
the study of fluids and how they behave when at rest and when moving
what are fluid dynamics?
a part of the study of fluid mechanics concerned with how fluids move
what are aerodynamics?
a part of fluid dynamics concerned with how gases move
what is streamlined?
a smooth shape designed to decrease resistance of flow
what is eddy?
an area of slower moving fluids that occurs behind and obstacle
what are hydrodynamics?
a part of fluid dynamics concerned with how liquids move
