Flashcards

Fluid

A substance that can flow and take the shape of its container. Examples include liquids and gases.

Viscosity

The resistance of a fluid to flow. Thick fluids have high viscosity, while thin fluids have low viscosity.

Flow rate

The rate at which a fluid moves through a given space. It's calculated by dividing the volume of fluid by the time it takes to flow.

Laminar flow

A smooth, steady flow of fluid where particles move in parallel lines. Think of water flowing slowly in a pipe.

Turbulent flow

A flow of fluid where particles move in irregular, chaotic patterns. Think of rapids in a river.

Particle Theory of Matter

  • List the five main points of the Particle Theory of Matter.
  • Give four examples of fluids in homes (e.g., juice, milk, water).
  • Give three examples of fluids essential to life and explain how each is crucial.
    • Example: Blood, transports oxygen & nutrients, essential for life.
  • Explain why liquids take the shape of their container but don't fill it completely like gases.
  • Explain how temperature affects the flow rate of liquids and gases.

Factors Affecting Flow Rate

  • List three factors that affect the flow rate of liquids in a pipe.
  • Explain how flow rate relates to viscosity.
    • Viscosity is resistance to flow.

Particle Diagrams

  • Draw a particle diagram for a solid, a liquid, and a gas, including lines/arrows to show particle arrangement, relative movement, and attractive forces.

Flow Rate Calculations

  • Calculate flow rate given volume and time, using proper units.
  • Bonus: Convert mL/sec to L/min.

Laminar Flow Example

  • Provide an example of laminar flow.
