fluids

Liquids are the state just next to solids,
having some potential energy as kinetic
energy between the molecules of the
substance. It will move to fit it's
container. Gas, on the other hand, will
take up the most space and the least
density. Unlike most liquids, gasses are
compressible.

main idea's

fluids are very
important.

fluids have a myriad
of different properties

life is impossible
without fluids

extra things
I couldn't fit
in the rest
of this
organigram

adhesion and
cohesion is a
force between
particles of 2
different
objects and
the strength
of that force
respectively

atmospheric
pressure is
caused by
the mass
of the
atmosphere
above you

valves regulate
and modulate
the flow of fluids
in a system, like
in tubing

surface tension
is a strong
cohesion of
particles on the
surface of a
fluid

to streamline is
to make
an object that
will have a
natural higher
resistance to
friction with
fluid particles,
such as a design
for a boat that
will cut through
water

properties

fluids have no
definite shape.

fluid flow

fluids come in many forms
i.e. water is a liquid and
air is a gas

fluids can have
laminar or
turbulent flow.

laminar=smooth flow
turbulent=rough flow

the viscosity of
a fluid is the
speed of a fluid
when flowing.

viscosity is also
a measure of
how thick or
thin a fluids is

a fluid has higher
viscosity when it
is thicker.

viscosity can
change with
temperature.

implications of the science

investigating fluids

we can investigate
the viscosity and
how it's surroundings
can affect that.

we can investigate
how fluids flow when
it's surroundings
change.

the types of science

aerodynamics and
hydrodynamics are
the study of moving
gasses and liquids
respectively.

fluids dynamics is
the study of how
fluids behave.

applications

fluid flow is essential
for daily life. A lot
of society revolves
around it.

a couple application
are blood thinners,
turbines, and
water purification.

quantities

mass is the
amount of
matter in an
object

volume is the
amount of 3
dimensional
space an
object takes

Density is the
measure of
mass per unit
volume

all of these measures
can be measured, as
all matter has these
intrinsic properties

buoyancy

buoyancy is a
force that
apposes gravity
created by fluids
and acts on objects

the buoyant force
is the force that
pushes an object
up if it is less
dense than the
fluid it is
suspended in

an example of this
is a fish's swim
bladder, which
will fill up with
water to sink and
will be empty to
rise

it can be applied
to do things that
relate to fluids

an example of
an application
of this is a
hydrometer,
which will
measure the
density of a
fluid

difference between
liquids and gasses

liquids are less
compressible
than gasses

liquids make
hydraulic systems
and gasses make
pneumatic systems

liquids tend to
be more dense
than their gas
counterparts

application

Hydraulic and
pneumatic
systems, as
well as
models
demonstrating
pascal's law
use syringes,
tubing, water,
and air

we apply these
systems and
laws daily to
make our lives
better, but it
must also be
used with
responsibility,
as it can hurt
the environment

laws

pascal's law states
that a force that
operates on a
fluid is felt equally
throughout the
mass

pressure lower
and lower
will increase
because there
is more fluids
above you,
and thus more
mass

pressure
can be
exerted by
the mass
of the fluids
around you
