What do air and water have in common?
Water and air are both fluids. The particles that make them up can 'flow' and move around from place to place
Why does transfer of heat not take place in fluids?
Wrong, transfer of heat does take place in fluids. In fact it can take place more efficiently in fluids than in solids because convection is possible in fluids.
Why transfer of heat in fluids takes place by convection currents?
Because basically fluids are not good conductors. Moreover particles are free to move and so they can carry heat energy from one place to the other in the fluid medium and hence convection becomes easier
What are hot fluids that can move through small cracks in rock?
They are referred to as hydrothermal fluids.
Why does transfer of heat not place by conduction in fluids?
Wrong, transfer of heat by conduction does take place in fluids.
What is the study of how fluids move?
Fluid Dynamics.
Do fluids like air tend to move toward areas of high or low pressure?
Fluids tend to move toward low pressure areas.
Why solids are not called fluids?
Because the solid can be made to flow, or move so it is called as fluids
What is the difference between fluids and solids?
fluids move and are liquids, soldids are hard and and is like a dresser or something
How fluids move across capillary membranes?
Osmosis.
Fluids like air tend to move toward areas of high pressure?
No. Fluids move away from areas of high pressure and toward areas of low pressure.
How do fluids move through a pressure difference?
Fluids flow from areas of high pressure to areas of low pressure.
