Vocab Flashcards
What is flow rate?
A measure of how fast the fluid flows in a certain amount of time.
What is viscosity?
Measure of thickness of a fluid measured by flow rate
Explain temp. Vs. viscosity. In gas
When temperature is raised viscosity increases and gets thicker.
Explain temperature versus flow rate in a gas.
When temperature increases flow rate decreases a bit slower
Explain desalination (the desert tent method)
The removal of salt from a liquid to evaporation you think deserts
Explain temperature versus viscosity in a liquid
When the liquidus temperature increases it’s viscosity decreases and it gets thinner
Explain temp versus flowrate in the liquid
When liquidus temperature increases its flow rate increases too and it flows faster
Explain distillation
A method of separating different parts of the liquid mixture
Explain fractional distillation
In petroleum a process that yields different petroleum products by separating parts of the solution
What is filtering
A method of separating using the filter paper to separate different particles.
What is the filtrate?
The solution that goes through the filter paper (the liquid)
What is the residue?
What is trapped in filter paper after filtering, it does not pass through
What is chromatography?
The process of finding different colors within the color of ink.
What is density
Amount of mass in a certain unit volume of A substance
D equals M Over B
What is mass?
The amount of matter in a substance.
What is volume.
Measurement of amount of space an object occupies.
What is weight?
The force of gravity acting on an object.
What is force?
A push or pull, anything that changes the motion of an object
What is gravity?
Attractive forces between masses, Attracts objects to earth
What is buoyancy?
The tendency to rise or float in the fluid.
What is buoyant force?
The upward force exerted on objects floating in a fluid
What is the definition of floating?
Remain suspended in a fluid.
What is Archimedes principle?
A scientific principles seeing that buoyant force acting on an object equals the weight force of the fluid displaced.
What is the hydrometer?
Instrument designed to measure density.
What is neutral buoyancy?
When gravitational force equals the buoyant force and object is suspended in the fluid.
What is positive buoyancy?
When buoyant force is greater than gravitational force.
What is negative buoyancy?
When the buoyant force is less than the gravitational force.
What is average density?
The total mass of an object divided by the total volume.
What is a hydraulic system?
A system that transmits and apply force through a liquid to move something by means of pressure
What is the pneumatic system?
Assistant in which a gas transmits a force Exerted on gas in an enclosed space
