Q

BLANK is the measure of a system’s thermal energy per unit temperature that’s unavailable for doing work. It’s also the measure of the disorder, or randomness, of a system.

Q

BLANK - it explains how the fluid flows in a medium. I.E: How food coloring flows, how air flow as the car approaches. It is the study how fluids respond to the forces exerted to them.

Q

BLANK - is the deformation that stress causes on the system.

A

Strain

17
Q

BLANK - a measure of a fluid’s resistance to flow. Often refers to the thickness of a fluid.

A

Viscosity

18
Q

BLANK - whatever stress you may input to an object, its viscosity will remains the same.

A

Law of viscosity

19
Q

BLANK studied fluid flow and learned that there are two main types of flow: Laminar and Turbulent.

A

Osborn Reynolds

20
Q

BLANK - In fluid dynamics, laminar flow is characterized by fluid particles following smooth paths in layers, with each layer moving smoothly past the adjacent layers with little or no mixing.

A

Laminar flow

21
Q

BLANK - In fluid dynamics, turbulence or turbulent flow is fluid motion characterized by chaotic changes in pressure and flow velocity. It is in contrast to a laminar flow, which occurs when a fluid flows in parallel layers.

A

Turbulent flow

22
Q

BLANK - combination of laminar and turbulent flow. It commonly has turbulent flow on the center of the pipe and laminar at the edges.

A

Transitional flow

23
Q

BLANK - represent the driving kinetic movement of the fluid, which result in chaotic flow movement, like the swirling motion of eddies and vortices.

A

Inertial forces

24
Q

BLANK - represent resistance to flow and are more likely to provide slow, steady motion.

A

Viscous forces

25
Q

Low Reynold’s number = BLANK (Lower than 2,100) High Reynold’s number = BLANK (Higher than 4000) Understanding fluid mechanics allows us to use and apply equipment for fluid flow, like pumps and pipes.

A

Laminar, Turbulent

26
Q

BLANK - He noticed that when he punctured the wall of the pipe with an open-ended straw, the height to which the fluid rose in the straw was related to the pressure of the fluid in the pipe.

A

Daniel Bernoulli
