Term
density
Definition
mass per unit volume
[image]
Term
pressure
Definition
force per unit area excerted by the molecules on a surface
[image]
Term
Pascal's Principle
Definition
any change in the pressure applied to a completely enclosed, incompressible fluid is transmitted undiminished to all parts of the fluid and enclosing walls
Term
Archimedes' Principle
Definition
any fluid applies a buoyant force to an object that is partially or completely immersed in it; magnitude of the buoyant force is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the object
Term
incompressible fluids
Definition
-density does not change with pressure
-most liquids are nearly incompressible for common pressure changes
Term
compressible fluids
Definition
-density changes with pressure
-in most cases, gases must be treated as highly compressible fluids
Term
streamlines
Definition
show the fluid flow
Term
steady flow
Definition
velocity of fluid particles at any point is constant over time
Term
unsteady flow
Definition
velocity of fluid particles at any point changes as time passes
Term
turbulent flow
Definition
unsteady flow at high speed around obstacles
Term
non-viscous flow
Definition
-fluid moves readily
-neighboring layers of fluid slide freely past each other
-ex: water
Term
viscous flow
Definition
-fluid does not move readily
-neighboring layers of fluid do not slide freely past each other
-ex. oil, honey
Term
irrotational flow
Definition
-same speed at all points
-paddle wheel won't turn
-ex. pipe with low friction walls
Term
ideal fluid
Definition
incompressible and non-viscous
Term
mass flow rate
Definition

Term
volume flow rate

Term
Bernoulli's equation
Definition
[image]
Term
kinetic theory
Definition
matter is made of of atoms that are in continual random motion
-atoms exert electromagnetic forces on each other
-forces are attractive at large distances, but repulsive at small distances
Term
thermal expansion
Definition
most substances expand when heated and contract when cooled
[image]
Term

Term
convection
Definition
transfers heat by the bulk movement of fluids
Term
conduction
Definition
[image]
unit: Watt
Term
radiation
Definition
[image]
Term
ideal gas
Definition
atom/molecules are so far apart that they don't interact except for when they collide elastically
Term
temperature
Definition
measure of average KE of molecules
Term
moles
Definition
number of molecules present
Term
volume
Definition
amount of space occupied by the gas
Term
ideal gas laws
Definition

Term
root mean squared speed
Definition
[image]
Term
system
Definition
quantity of matter surrounded by boundaries
Term
closed system
Definition
matter cannot cross boundary
Term
open system
Definition
matter can cross boundary
Term
isolated system
Definition
no heat, work, or matter crosses the boundary
Term
process
Definition
changes the state of a system
Term
irreversible process
Definition
-system changes rapidly
-system cannot return along same path
Term
reversible process
Definition
-system changes slowly
-system can return along same oath
Term
cycle
Definition
series of processes that returns a system to its initial state
Term
first law of thermodynamics
Definition
