Fluid statics is the physics of stationary fluids. Conceptual Questions 1. What physical characteristic distinguishes a fluid from a solid? 2. Which of the following substances are fluids at room temperature: air, mercury, water, glass? 3. Why are gases easier to compress than liquids and ...
1. Definition of Fluid: A fluid is defined as any substance that continuously deforms under the action of shear stress. This means that when a force is applied parallel to the surface of the fluid, it will change shape and flow. 2. Characteristics of Fluids: Fluids can be characterized by...
A digital multi-use thermometer can be used to take a rectal, oral (mouth) or axillary (armpit) temperature in adults and children. In general, oral and armpit temperatures have not shown to be as accurate as rectal. Oral use is not recommended for children under age 4, according to the...
1. Definition of Ideal Fluid: An ideal fluid is a theoretical concept used in fluid mechanics to simplify the analysis of fluid flow. It is defined by three key characteristics. 2. First Condition - Incompressibility: The first condition for a fluid to be considered ideal is that it must be...
First, the fluid flow domain (the continuous region to be calculated), is identified (typically represented by a CAD model). Then, a mesh is applied to dissect the domain into well-defined cells. Finally, the discretized version of the governing fluid equations is solved by the computer withi...
A fluid coupling is a device that converts or transmits rotating mechanical energy to be used in other applications, such as...
A a walnut-sized gland located in front of the rectum and between the bladder and the penis is called the prostate. The urethra travels in the center of the prostate to let the urine flow out of the body. The prostate also is responsible for the secretion of fluid that nourishes and pro...
Is CSF a serous fluid? Other routinely tested body fluids include cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), serous fluids (pleural, peritoneal andpericardial) and synovial fluid. Each fluid type has a unique composition and generally is considered an irreplaceable specimen since collection is often invasive. ...
What is fluid pressure? Give the conditions in which it can be considered.Pressure:In the reference of fluid mechanics, the pressure is defined as the force excreted on the body in a particular area. The mathematical expression for calculating the pressure is given as {eq}P = ...
The speed and fluidity:the faster and more fluid a drift runs, the more points you get. The drift angle:the larger the angle, the more points there are. A good instinct is required here because there are hardly any points if the angle is too low. If the angle is too high, the car...
