Fluids refer to both liquids and gases; liquids are just liquids. That is, Fluids = Liquid OR Gas Liquid = Liquid We can see that liquids are actually a fluid.

Difference between fluids and liquids?

Fluids are substances that can flow and have the ability to take on the shape of their container, encompassing liquids, gases, and plasma. Liquids specifically refer to substances that have a fixed volume but take the shape of their container. In essence, all liquids are fluids, but not all fluids are liquids.


What is the difference between a fluid and a liquid?

Fluids versus liquidsAll liquids are fluids but not all fluids are liquids. The scientist (or engineer) will make that distinction but the non-scientist frequently doesn't. Fluids flow. They include liquids and gases. Liquids are a type of fluid that flows and takes the shape of its container but does not expand to fill its container. (Gases do that.) Liquid is the second state of matter, between solid and gas.Liquids do not expand, gases do. The main point is that gases and liquids are both fluids.both liquids and gases are called fluids


What is the difference between hydraulics and pnuematics?

Hydraulics are powered by liquids under pressure and pnuematics are powered by gasses, usually air, under pressure. Both liquids and gasses are fluids.


What is the difference between water and fluid?

water is a liquid. Generally Liquids and Fluids are classified. Liquids are that state of matter which have loosely arranged molecules and they are highly flowy. Fluids are that state of matter which are a little more thick than liquids that is more viscous. for example, water is a liquid and Honey a fluid.


What force causes the bulk flow of fluids (gases and liquids) in a system?

The force that causes the bulk flow of fluids in a system is typically pressure difference. This pressure difference drives the movement of fluids, such as gases and liquids, from areas of high pressure to areas of low pressure.


What is difference between aqua and fluids?

BYE


Are gases and liquids fluids?

A fluid is any substance that can flow. Since liquids and both flow, they are fluids.


Why are both liquids and solids called fluids?

Fluids are neither solids nor liquids. Fluids are a form between solids and liquids. Fluids donot exhibit a fixed shape like solids do and also are not free flowing as liquids are. Fluids, while maintaining their total volume can flow freely upto a certain extent. Though not very accurate, a fluid behaves some what like ketchup :)


What are said to be pourable?

Liquid ********************* Fluids. Fluids include liquids and gases.


Why gas and liquid behave similarly?

They are both FLUIDS, and basically follow the same Laws of Physics. The biggest difference is that Liquids are NOT Compressible.


Are gasses and liquids fluids?

yes


Why liquids are not fluids?

liquids are not fluids because a fluid is a class based on motion not a class based on a state of matter like a liquid.
