Q

When there is no significant change in elevevation, bernoulli’s equation tells us that…

pgh value cancel out

A

the pressure decreases as velocity increases

17
Q

Resistance to flow

A

opposite of flow rate (Poiseuille’s law); exclude pressure

18
Q

**

viscosity

definition

A

how easilty a fluid flows

resistance to flow

19
Q

incompressible fluid

A

a fluid with a constant density (cannot be compressed to a smaller volume)

20
Q

compressible fluid

A

can be compressed to a smaller volume, thus altering the density
