Fluid Dynamics

Question 1

Fluid

Answer 1

Any material that flows

Question 2

Buoyancy

Answer 2

Upward force of a fluid

Question 3

Viscosity

Answer 3

Resistance to Flow

Question 4

Hydrostatic Pressure

Answer 4

Pressure = Force/Area

Question 5

Why does pressure change as you go lower?

Answer 5

As you go deeper in depth the liquid has a higher weight of everything above it.

Question 6

Submerged

Answer 6

Completely within the fluid

Question 6

Hydrostatic pressure

Answer 6

Pressure at a given depth.

Pressure = density * gravity * height

Question 7

Archimedes’ Principle

Answer 7

Buoyant force is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by an object.

Question 8

Weight of object = buoyant force

Answer 8

Neither sink or swim

Question 9

Weight of object > buoyant force

Answer 9

Sink

Question 10

Weight of object < buoyant force

Answer 10

Float

Question 11

Flow Rate

Answer 11

Rate of which a volume flows through a tube

Q = delta V/delta t

Question 12

Equation of continuity

Answer 12

V1A1 = V2A2

Question 13

Bernoulli’s Principle

Answer 13

A fluid increases speed when it goes through a narrower space

Question 14

Bernoulli’s Equation

Answer 14

Relates speed, pressure, and height at any 2 points w/in an ideal fluid

Question 15

Idea fluids

Answer 15

1. Incompressible
2. Laminar (steady flow)
3. Non-viscous (no resistance to flow)
