Study Notes
Fluid Types
- Non-Newtonian fluids do not obey Newton's Law of viscosity.
- Newtonian fluids obey Newton's Law of viscosity.
Fluid Properties and Uses
- Fluids are useful for transporting, processing, and using different kinds of materials due to their ability to flow and change shape.
Slurries and Tar Sands
- A slurry is a mixture of a fluid and solid particles.
- Tar sands, also known as oil sands, are a type of slurry that contains bitumen, a heavy crude oil.
- Tar sands are processed to separate the bitumen from other minerals through extraction and refining.
Fluid Applications
- Fluids are used in various industries to make solids, such as in the manufacturing of paper, textiles, and ceramics.
- Materials like cement, concrete, and mortar can be spread or moved more easily when held in a fluid.
Synthetic Materials and WHMIS
- Synthetic materials produced in a lab have specific purposes and uses.
- WHMIS (Workplace Hazardous Materials Information System) provides information on hazardous materials, including their safe handling, use, and storage.
- WHMIS provides information on physical and health hazards, safe handling procedures, and personal protective equipment.
Hazardous Materials
- Hazardous materials can cause serious harm to humans and the environment.
- Examples of hazardous materials mentioned in the text include chemicals and tar sands.
- Hazardous materials have warning symbols, such as the Hazardous Household Product Symbols (HHPS), to alert users of potential dangers.
- All hazardous materials have the potential to cause physical and health hazards.
- WHMIS does not mention firewood as a hazardous material.
