Surface Tension

The force that causes a liquid's surface to act like a stretched membrane, resisting stretching or breaking.

Adhesion

The force that makes particles of a fluid stick to other surfaces, such as a container or tube.

Meniscus

The curved surface of a liquid in a container, caused by the force of adhesion between the liquid and the container.

Fluid Movement in Pipes

The tendency of a liquid to flow faster in the middle of a pipe or tube and slower along the edges due to adhesion.

Study Notes

Particle Theory of Matter

  • All matter is made of tiny particles.
  • Particles are constantly moving.
  • There are spaces between particles.
  • Particles experience attraction to each other.

Effect of Temperature on Particles

  • Heating increases particle speed and separation (thermal expansion).
  • Cooling decreases particle speed and brings particles closer together.

States of Matter

  • Solids: Definite shape, strong particle attraction, particles vibrate in place.
  • Liquids: No definite shape, weaker particle attraction than solids, particles can slide past each other.
  • Gases: No definite shape, very weak particle attraction, particles move freely.
  • Plasma: Highly energized gas, atoms break into charged particles (ions and electrons), similar to a gas but electrically charged.

Volume of Fluids

  • Solids, liquids, and gases have a definite volume. Volume is independent of container shape.

What are Fluids?

  • Fluids are substances that flow (liquids and gases).
  • Solids do not flow due to tightly packed particles.
  • Liquids flow because particles can slide past each other.
  • Gases flow because particles move freely.
  • Some solids also exhibit fluid-like behavior (glaciers).

Fluid Properties in Real Life

  • Fluids hold other materials (e.g., cytoplasm in cells).
  • Fluids aid in holding particles in activities (e.g., fire retardant).
  • Fluids can be made into solids (e.g., concrete, steel).

Measuring Fluid Flow

  • Flow rate is volume per unit time (e.g., L/s).

Factors Affecting Flow Rate

  • Particle Attraction (Cohesion): Stronger attraction = slower flow.
  • Particle Size/Shape: Larger/irregular particles = slower flow.
  • Temperature: Higher temp = faster flow (lower viscosity).
  • Fluid Type: Thicker fluids flow slower.
  • Container Size: Larger opening = faster flow.
  • Surface Type: Smoother surface = faster flow.

Laminar vs. Turbulent Flow

Laminar Flow

  • Smooth, regular flow in orderly lines.
  • Advantages: Faster movement, less energy needed, efficient pipe flow.
  • Disadvantages: Less mixing, limited to low speeds.

Turbulent Flow

  • Irregular, chaotic mixing of fluid.
  • Advantages: Mixing, oxygenation, excitement in activities.
  • Disadvantages: More resistance, energy loss, erosion, potential health risks.

Viscosity, Cohesion, and Adhesion

Viscosity

  • A measure of a fluid's resistance to flow.
  • Higher viscosity = thicker fluid (slower flow).
  • Lower viscosity = thinner fluid (faster flow).

Cohesion

  • Force of attraction between particles of the same substance.
  • Stronger cohesion = higher viscosity.

Adhesion

  • Force of attraction between a fluid and a different substance.
  • Example: Water sticking to the sides of a glass (meniscus).

Surface Tension

  • Force pulling surface particles together, creating a "skin".
  • Examples: Insects walking on water, shape of liquid droplets.
  • Effects on fluids: wetting agents, cleaning, shaping droplets.
