Science Flow Rate
The rate of flow of fluids
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Viscosity | a measure of how easily a fluid particles are able to silde past one another |
| Fluids | materials that have no fixed shape and free to flow, such as liquids and gases |
| Particle Theory Of Matter | a theory that helps explain what matter is made of |
| Laminar Flow | a smooth pattern of flow |
| Turbulent Flow | an irregular, mixing flow pattern |
| Eddy | an area of slower-moving fluid that occurs behind an obstacle |
| Streamlined | a smooth shape designed to decrease resistance to fluid flow |
| Flow Rate | a measure of how quickly fluids move; measured in a volume per unit time |
| Cohesion | a measure of how strongly the particles of a fluid attract each other |
| Surface Tension | the strong attraction among the particles that form the surface of a liquid |
| Adhesion | the attraction between the particles of a substance and the particles of another substance |
| Fluid Mechanics | the study of fluid and how they behave when at rest and when moving |
| Fluid Dynamics | a part of the study of fluid mechanics concerned with how fluids move |
| Aerodynamics | a part of fluid dynamics concerned with how gases move |
| Hydrodynamics | a part of fluid dynamics concerned with how liquids move |
| Oxygen | releasing energy from food |
| Blood | acts as a transport system to take materials to cells as well as gather wastes from cells |
| Sweat | cools the body |
| Saliva | lubricates food for swallowing and begins chemical digestion |
| Urine | eliminates dissolved wastes from the body |
| Stomach Acid | Aids chemical digestion of food |
| State the particle theory | • all matter is made of tiny particles • particles have empty spaces between them • particles are moving randomly all the time • particles move faster and spread farther apart when they are heated • particles attract each other |
| Factors of flow rate 1 | the type of fluid that is flowing (thin fluids flow faster than thick fluids) |
| Factors of flow rate 2 | the force pushing on the fluid (stronger forces produce faster flow) rates) |
| Factors of flow rate 3 | the size of the pipe or opening the fluid is flowing through (larger opening means lower flow rate) |
| Factors of flow rate 4 | the type of surface over which the fluid is flowing (smooth surfaces allow for faster flow) |
