Fluids Flashcards
Flow rate
How quickly a fluid flows in a given amount of time.
Force
Push or pull that causes change in movement.
Dynamic
Systems that involve movement
Aerodynamics
Air or gas moving around a solid object.
Hydrodynamics
The motion of fluid moves around a solid object.
Kinetic molecular theory
A list of rules about the three states solid, gas and liquid.
- all matter is composed of molecules or other particles
- particles are in consistent motion
- there are forces of attraction among particles
Melting
Process of changing a solid to a liquid.
Evaporation
Process of a liquid to gas
Condensation
Process of gas to liquid.
Solidification
Process of a liquid to a solid.
Sublimation
Process of solid to gas.
Laminar flow
When water flows in a strait or almost strait.
Turbulent flow
When the water doesn’t flow strait.
Drag
The resistance a object has against water or air.
Streamlined
Shapes that created laminar flow.
