Study Notes
What are Fluids?
- Fluids flow and assume the shape of their containers.
- Examples of fluids include liquids like water and oil, and gases like air.
Why Solids Cannot Flow (Particle Theory)
- Solids' particles are tightly packed, vibrating in place, restricting flow.
- Fluids (liquids and gases) have more space between particles, enabling movement and flow.
Fluids in the Human Body & Their Functions
- Blood transports oxygen and nutrients.
- Saliva aids in food breakdown.
- Sweat cools the body.
- Stomach acid breaks down consumed substances.
Laminar vs. Turbulent Flow
- Laminar flow is smooth and parallel, offering low resistance, like water in a straight pipe.
- Turbulent flow is irregular and chaotic, with high resistance, such as whitewater rafting.
Flow Rate
- Flow rate is the amount of fluid moving past a point per time unit.
- It's measured in units like mL/s or L/m.
Volume and Particle Theory
- Liquids have a fixed volume, taking the shape of their container, meaning 10 mL of liquid cannot fill a 20 mL container because it lacks the necessary volume and particles.
Main Statements of the Particle Theory
- All matter consists of tiny particles.
- Particles have spaces between them.
- Particles are in constant motion.
- Particles attract one another.
- Temperature influences particle movement.
Aerodynamics vs. Hydrodynamics
- Aerodynamics studies gas movement around objects and is used in car design to reduce air resistance and in sports equipment to streamline helmets and bicycles.
- Hydrodynamics studies liquids, including water.
Viscosity & Flow Rate
- Higher viscosity correlates with a lower flow rate; for example, honey flows slower than water.
Fluids in the Food Industry
- In beverage production, fluids ensure proper flow during bottling.
- Cooking and processing involve managing viscosity in sauces and dairy.
- Packaging requires controlling liquid flow into containers.
Streamlining
- Streamlining reduces air resistance and increases speed and can be observed when cyclists wear streamlined helmets.
- Streamlining is making something smooth and fast to quickly move through air or water.
Concrete-Lined Waterways
- Pros: Prevents erosion and controls water flow.
- Cons: Can harm ecosystems and should be replaced with eco-friendly materials.
Fluids are Essential to Life
- Water provides hydration for survival.
- Blood facilitates oxygen transport.
- Air supports breathing and temperature regulation.
Temperature & Flow Rate (Particle Theory)
- Warmer fluid flows faster because higher temperatures increase particle movement, reducing viscosity.
- Warm honey flows faster than cold honey.
Factors That Affect Fluid Flow
- Viscosity: Higher viscosity results in slower flow.
- Temperature: Higher temperature results in faster flow.
- Pressure: Higher pressure results in faster flow.
Adhesion & Cohesion
- High adhesion and high cohesion result in slow flow, as seen with syrup sticking to surfaces.
- Adhesion is when a liquid sticks to a surface, like a raindrop on a leaf.
- Cohesion is when a liquid sticks to itself, such as water staying together when poured.
Fluid Mechanics
- Fluid mechanics studies fluids at rest and in motion.
- Fluid dynamics is a branch of fluid mechanics focused on how fluids move.
