Miscellaneous
The force the atmosphere exerts on a unit of surface
What is "Atmospheric Pressure"?
Smooth and regular. Example: An example of laminar flow is the flow of water in a pipe
What is "Laminar flow"?
The use of oil booms is a straightforward and popular method of controlling this.
Fluids do not have a definite shape (gasses and liquids)
Liquids and solids have a definite volume
Take up their shape
Gasses can smell
What are the characteristics of fluids?
Water can turn to gas-> Liquid and Liquid-> solid and the other way around. All the other liquids cannot do this.
When water turns hot (past boiling point) it forms into gas when water is cold it turns into a solid (Ice)
What is the "Irregular Behaviour of Water"?
choppy and irregular Example: lava flow, Ocean currents
What is "Turbulent flow"?
For Both of these oil spills many animals along the oil spill had the toxic oil on them.
What are the "Exxon Valdez and Deep Water Horizon Oil spills"?
To take the place of Ex: When you take a bath the water rises as you enter the tub because you and the water cannot occupy the same space
1. All matter is made up of tiny particles known as atoms.
2. Particles of matter are constantly in motion.
3. Particles of matter attract each other.
4. Particles of matter have spaces between them.
5. As temperature increases, particles of matter move faster.
6. Atoms of the same element are essentially identical and atoms of different elements are different.
What is "Particle Theory"?
A measure of how strongly the particles of a fluid attract each other Example: When honey particles attract each other.
What is "Cohesion"?
An object immersed in a fluid experiences a buoyant force that is equal in magnitude to the force of gravity on the displaced fluid
What is "Archimedes principle"?
M
-----
D x V
What is The formula for calculating density?
Part of fluid dynamics concerned with how gasses move
What is "Aerodynamics"?
The impact of the collision tore open the ship's hull, causing some 11 million gallons of crude oil to spill into the water. The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) eventually blamed Exxon for the oil spill, citing its incompetent and overworked crew
What was the "Exxon Valdez Oil Spill"?
The upward supportive force on an object in a fluid
What is "buoyancy"?
The study of fluids and how they behave when at rest and moving
What is "Fluid Mechanics"?
As temperature increases, particles of matter move faster. As temperatures decrease the particles move slower
What is "Particle Theory"?
This occurred after a surge of natural gas blasted through a concrete core recently installed to seal an oil well for later use.
What was the "Deep Water Horizon Oil spill"?
Pressure applied to an enclosed fluid will be transmitted without a change in magnitude to every point of the fluid and to the walls of the container
What is "Pascal's Law"?
