Viscosity And Fluids Flashcards
Aerodynamic drag
When a solids moves through a fluid and creates air resistance
Convection currents
Warm fluids rise bc their particles are moving faster
Cold fluids sink bc their particles are moving slower
Eg: in the ocean with tides
How does tempature affect viscosity
The warmer the fluid, the less viscous it becomes
Eg: corn syrup flows easier when it’s warm
Eg: when u start ur engine on a cold day, the oil is cold and thick. When u start ur car engine, the oil warms up with it and becomes less viscous
Liquids
Takes shape of container
Free surface
D. Mass D. Volume I. Shape A bit of compressibility Expands a bit on heating
Gases
Take shape and volume of container
Move in straight lines until it hits another particle of the edge of container
D. Mass I. Volume I. Shape A lot of compressibility Expands a lot on heating
Solids
Holds its shape
D. Mass D. Volume D. Shape A tiny bit of compressibility Expands a tiny bit on heating
The particle theory
A way of describing matter and its Behavior
1) all matter is made of particles
2) all particles are in constant motion (absolute zero=no movement)
3) all particles of the same substance are identical (mixing more than 2 different substances is called alloy)
4) tempature effects the speed at which particles move at
5) there are spaces between particles
6) particles have forces of attraction between them
Speed and velocity
Speed=
Distance and time
Velocity=
Distance and time and direction
All matter is composed of ____________+____________ that are too small to see.
All of the particles of matter are in constant __________ because they have energy.
Particles in solids are held tightly in place but still _______. Particles in liquids move more _______. Particles in gases move ________ freely yet. The particles of matter are held together with forces of _______________.
The size of the space between particles _________ depending on the type of matter.
The addition of _________ energy caused particles to move faster, __________ their bonds.
Some particles are more attracted to particles of __________ substances that particles of their ________.
1) molecules, atoms
2) motion
3) move, freely, attraction
4) varies
5) heat,stretching
6) other, own
Flow rate
Measure of speed of fluid flow
Matter
Anything that has mass and volume
Pneumatics
A system that uses gas under pressure
Slurry
A mixture of water and solids
Mass
How much matter in a substance
Volume
How much space a substance takes up
