fluids Flashcards
test (22 cards)
What is Archimedes principle
the more surface area of an object the more buoyant force is applied
What is Henrys law
as pressure is added that is outside of a solvent the gas will enter in between the particles
What is viscosity
the resistance of flow (slower the fluid the more viscous it is)
What is cohesion
the attraction between particles
what is matter
anything is that mass or volume
mass
the amount of particles in a object
particle theory of matter
a simple way of describing the behaviour
boom
floating devices that crate a fence
sorbents
things that pick up the oil
dispersant
chemicals that are detergents that breaks down oil
skimmers
vacuums that sucks oil
burns
burns the oil
bioremdetion
uses fungi to eat oil
psi
pressure per square inch
pneumatic systems
uses gas under pressure to transmit a ton to do work
hydraulic systems
a fluid system uses fluids under pressure to transmit force and do work
hoist
machine made to do heavy load
pascals law
when fluids are in a closed container, that crates equal pressure in all directions
cohesion
the attraction between particles
force
a push or pull on a object
pilmsoll line
tropical fresh, fresh, tropical salt, summer salt, salt winter, north Atlantic
bouyancy
the ability or tendency to float in water or air or some other fluid
