Cards in this deck (11)

  1. 1densityρ = m / v
    unit : kg / m^3
    g / mL or g / cm^3
  2. 2weight of volume of fluidF g = ρ * v * g = mg
  3. 3specific gravityρ of water = 1 g/ cm^3
    -compare density of object with density of water
    -unitless
    specific gravity
  4. 4pressureP = F / A
    unit: pascal (Pa)
    1.013 x 10^5 Pa = 760 mmHg = 760 torr =
    1 atm
  5. 5absolute / hydrostatic pressuretotal pressure exerted on submerged object
    P o = pressure at surface
    ρgz = pressure due to fluid itself
    absolute / hydrostatic pressure
  6. 6gauge pressureabsolute pressure - atm pressuregauge pressure
  7. 7buoyant force-object in fluid will generate a buoyant force that is equal to weight of fluid that it displaces
    -if object is floating, buoyant force = weight of object
    buoyant force
  8. 8laminar flowpoiseuille's law
    ΔP = pressure gradient
    n = viscosity
    smooth and orderly
    laminar flow
  9. 9critical speed-turbulence arises when speed of fluid exceeds critical speed
    -rough, disorderly, form eddies (whirls of fluid at different sizes)
    critical speed
  10. 10continuity equation-flow rate stays constant at any area
    -linear speed (v) increases when area is smaller (narrow tube) or linear speed decreases when area is larger
    continuity equation
  11. 11bernoulli's equation-sum of static pressure and dynamic pressure stays constant
    -more energy dedicated to dynamic pressure means less energy for static fluid movement and vice versa
    -for horizontal flow: inverse relationship between pressure and speed (ex: plane)
    -for vertical flow (venturi effect): direct relationship between pressure exerted on walls of tube and area -> smaller area means faster linear speed due to continuity equation so that means lower static pressure so pipe has lower water level
    bernoulli's equation
