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
