Is sand a compressible fluid?
Can be compressed but not a fluid
Is blood a compressible fluid?
if the density of the fluid changes with respect to pressure is called compressible fluid f the density of the fluid does not changes with respect to pressure is called incompressible fluid
What is the difference between compressible and in-compressible fluids giving examples of the fluids found in human body?
compressible fluid changes its volume when external pressure is applied and in-compressible fluid does not change its volume due to external pressure
Must the flow of a compressible fluid be treated as compressible?
No, if the pressure difference results in a density change of less than thirty percent (30%) the fluid may be treated as incompressible by assuming the density of the fluid equals the average density and that the density is constant.

Water is incompressible fluid when what we do for bring it is compressible?
It can't be made compressible, if that's what you mean - unless you turn it into steam.There really is no such thing as an incompressible fluid; but the amount a liquid's volume changes under pressure is so little, that for many practical purposes it can be considered incompressible.
Why sponge is compressible?
Sponge is compressible because it is porous.
What happens to the air when a plane travels faster than the speed of sound?
Nothing. But remember, at supersonic speeds air is compressible in action, whereas it ACTS like a non-compressible fluid at subsonic speeds.

What is the difference between a compressible fluid and an incompressible fluid?
The density of a compressible fluid changes with pressure, while the density of an incompressible fluid is not affected by pressure (assuming isothermal conditions).
Water is a non compssible fluid?
Fluids include liquids and gasses. Liquids are not compressible. Gasses are compressible. Water is a liquid and it not compressible.
What is a slightly compressible fluid?
I think it is cng
Would a hydraulic hoist still work as well if the fluid was replaced with air?
No, air is compressible, hydraulic fluid is not. It would be analogous to trying to use a giant rubber band instead of a steel crowbar to pry things apart!
What is compressible fluids?
A fluid which is reduced in volume by an increase in pressure.
Sponge is compressible still its solidwhy?
Sponge is solid yet it is compressible the presence of the inter particle spaces or voids which are filled with air and make it compressible.
Why is brake fluid used in car brakes?
To start off, a fluid is used in the brake system because fluids are not compressible, so it can transmit the force applied by your foot to the brake system. This is the reason brakes must be bled of air. Since air is compressible it will increase the distance your foot must travel before the force of the fluid can do it's job. Brake fluid is specifically designed for brake systems because it can sustain high pressure, lubricate components, and withstand high temperatures.
