midterm important stuff Flashcards
acceleration =
m/s2 (newtons second law)
pressure =
force/area
pressure increases by ____ force or ____area
increase force, decrease area
doubling the diameter on a syringe ____ pressure
decreases (by a factor of 4)
popping a balloon demonstrates
you either need a large force over a large area or a pin.. small force over small area
1 ATM =
760
calculating tank pressures -
percent x 760
aneroid - has liquid or no?
no
bourdon gauge - total pressure =
tank + ATM
on a mountain there is less ATM pressure, so ___ tank pressure
less
order of losing heat to processes
rad, convec, conduc, evap
work =
force x displacement. measured in joules
work = Pressure x
change in V
if you double the pressure in a gas cylinder,
you’ll decrease the gas to half its volume
zeroth law
tem a=b, b=c, a=c
1st law of thermodynamics
change in internal energy of a system is = to the sum of the heat processes that cause energy to flow into and out of the system and work done
2nd law of thermo
entropy. heat flows from hot to cold when two bodies are brought into thermal contact
3rd law of thermo
can’t lower the temp of an object to absolute 0
w<0
work done BY the system. expansion
w>0
work done ON the system, compression
heat capacity
ratio between the amt of heat added or removed from an object to change temp
insulators have ___ specific heat
high
conductors have ___ specific heat
low
to change heat.. heat capacity is ___ proportional
inversely
to change heat.. temp gradient, surface area, forced convection…
directly
specific gravity
relationship btw an object’s density and density of H20
pressure =
f/a
pressure is ___ proportional to cross section of radius
INVERSELY
pascals principle
hydraulic system- confined fluids at a given pressure…. if you increase pressure, you increase the force applied unchanged to every point in the fluid.
flow rate
VOLUME passing particular point/unit time
