Fluids (Solution/Solubility) CH 5 &8 Flashcards
What is a fluid
Any material that has the ability to flow
Both liquid and gases are considered fluids
Hydrostatics
is the study of fluids that are NOT MOVING
Hydrodynamics
is the study of fluids that ARE MOVING
For hydrostatic fluids, what two properties are important to consider
density (p) and pressure (P)
If density is known, what is the formula to calculate for pressure
P = pgh
p=density
g=gravity
h=height
Density of water
1g/m^3 or 1g/cm^3
1000kg/m^3 or 1000kg/cm^3
8.33 lb/gal
1Pa =
Formula for hydrostatic pressure
p= density
g= gravity
h= height
Formula for pressure variation (pressure that accounts for top and bottom)
P2 = bottom
P1= top
Is pressure affected by container shape?
No, pressure is independent of container shape.
Pascal’s Principle states
If you apply external pressure to a confined fluid, that pressure is transmitted unchanged to every point within the fluid
Ex: if we increase P1 (top) by 5psi, the P2 (bottom) will be the original pressure plus 5psi
Buoyant Force states
all fluids exert a buoyant force on objects immersed in them
Normal Forces
Describes forces that are perpendicular to a surface
What is the Buoyant Force Formula
note: (pgV) represents weight (which is a force) of displaced fluid
Archimedes’ Principle states
An object immersed either totally or partially in a fluid feels a buoyant force equal to the weight of fluid displaced
Formula
Wapparent = Wtrue - Fb
If Density of object > Density of fluid, what will happen?
Object will sink
Fb < Wtrue
If Density of object < Density of fluid, what will happen?
Object will float
Fb > Wtrue
If Density of object = Density of fluid, what will happen?
Object will remain stationary in the fluid
Fb = Wtrue
Hydrometer is
a very simple device used to measure the specific gravity of liquids such as urine or milk
What are the 2 types of hydrodynamic flows
Laminar Flow
Turbulent Flow
Laminar flow is
unchanging flow pattern
smooth and orderly
Turbulent Flow is
continuously varying pattern flow
chaotic and abrupt
Flow rate is
the volume of fluid passing a particular point per unit of time
What is the SI unit of flow rate
m^3/s
What happens to the speed of water when diameter is made smaller?
It increases tremendously
decrease diameter = increase speed
assuming no leaks, volume and density will remain unchanged
Incomprehensible Fluids are
fluids whose volume or density do not change with pressure
What is the formula to calculate incomprehensible fluid flow rate?
aka The Continuity Equation
A1v1=A2v2
A= area
v= speed of incomprehensible fluid (flow rate)
Circular cross-sectional flow rate
Flow rate = Av=TTr^2v
A = TTr^2
v=speed of fluid (flow rate)
The Bernoulli Effect states
as the speed of a fluid increases, the pressure exerted by the fluid decreases
What is the Bernoulli Formula
pgh1 and pga 2 cancel out
Force equals
Pressure x Area
What is a Venturi tube flowmeter
Device used to measure fluid speed in pipes
What is the U-tube and what does it do?
U-tube is a manometer and we can use it to measure the differences in pressures (P1-P2)
What is the Venturi Tube Flowmeter Equation
What is the difference between ideal fluids and real fluids
Ideal fluids are those in which there is no loss of energy due to friction, no interactions between molecules, no interactions between molecules and pipe, tubing, or container.
Real fluids are what we deal with every day
What is viscosity
the measure of a fluid’s resistance to flow
What determines the speed of fluid through a pipe?
The closer a molecule to the wall, the slower it will move
Those closest to the center of the pipe will move the fastest
what must be introduced in order for real fluids to maintain flow?
A force
