Best Answer

When a fluid is put under pressure, the volume decreases and the temperature may rise a tiny bit because the particles are compressed.

Explain how fluids exert pressure?

The only difference between the way a fluid exerts pressure and the way a solid does is that a fluid flows into any available space, and so it exerts pressure very evenly. If you want a more detailed analysis, ultimately physical matter exerts pressure by means of the electrostatic repulsion between electrons.

Why the pressure increases when a diver goes deep the sea?

Because pressure increases the further down you go. A unpressurized tank would collapse under this weight. Actually, the pressure in the tank is not to prevent it from crushing, but to allow it the diver to breathe. The greater the pressure in the tank, the greater the amount of breathing air you have available. As ambient pressure increases (ie by descending), your lungs require more air to fill them, as you are then breathing compressed air into your lungs. If you tried to breathe atmospheric pressure at depth, you could not fill your lungs. The deeper you go, the harder it is to breathe... Try breathing through a 6ft snorkel to the surface, and see how difficult it is to inhale. Therefore, the tank is pressurised, 1/ to allow you to breathe effortlessly at depth, 2/ to give you more time at depth, and 3/ to keep water out of the tank.


Ten bar pressure is equal to how much depth in maters?

In water, every 10 meters you go down, the pressure increases by 1 bar, approximately. To this you must add the air pressure, which is also approximately 1 bar (depending on whether you want gauge pressure or absolute pressure).


Is a vacuum a force?

a vacuum is simply an empty or almost empty space. The forces that are apparent with vacuums are due to a pressure imbalance between the inside of the vacuum (low pressure) and the outside of the vacuum (high pressure) causing particles to want to migrate to areas of lower pressure. The effect of this pressure difference is often refered to as a vacuum force

Can you work well under deadlines or pressure?

Answer to "Working Under Deadlines or Pressure"You could answer "Yes, some of my best work has been done under deadlines or pressure." You might want to be prepared to give an example. Remember, though, if you don't work well under those conditions, it will show if you get the job.


Mustang red fluid leak drivers side?

Um, yeah, you may want to check the brake fluid level in your master cylinder. But, if it's not that, it could be transmission fluid, but I would expect that to be more centered under the car. Also, I suppose it could be power steering fluid, but my Mustang doesn't have power steering so I'm not familar with the placement of its reservoir.

How do differences in air pressure cause wind?

Consider two columns of air, containing the same volume of air in each. In the column with high pressure, the air top of the column will extend farther up into the atmosphere than the column with low pressure. Due simply to gravity, the air will want to equalize itself just like a fluid would. The air in the high pressure will flow toward the low pressure, and that is what you know as wind.
