What does a supercritical fluid look like and how does its appearance differ from that of a regular fluid?
A supercritical fluid looks like a dense gas and appears transparent, similar to a regular fluid. However, its appearance differs in that it has unique properties of both liquids and gases, such as high density and low viscosity.
What is a substance that can easily flow is a(n)?
A substance that can easily flow is a fluid. Fluids can be both liquids and gases that have the ability to move and adapt to the shape of their container. Examples include water, air, and oil.
What physical characteristic is the same for the liquid and solid states?
Both gases and liquids can assume any shape for a given volume and pressure.
Fluids include both and?
Fluids include both liquids and gases. Liquids have a fixed volume but no fixed shape, while gases have neither a fixed volume nor a fixed shape. Both liquids and gases are considered fluids because they can flow and take the shape of their container.
What is a cross between solids and liquids?
A colloidal suspension, such as gelatin or mayonnaise, exhibits properties of both solids and liquids. These substances have particles suspended throughout a fluid medium, creating a semi-solid consistency that can flow like a liquid while also maintaining a certain degree of structural integrity like a solid.
How are liquids and gasses alike?
they are both made of particles
Can the air be thought of as a fluid?
Air is fluid (as are gasses generally), so there's certainly no reason it can't be thought of as one. (Note that fluid is not the same as liquid; both gases and liquids are fluid, which comes from a root word meaning "to flow".)
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.
Are both gasses and liquids fluids?
Yes - a Newtonian fluid (or just a fluid) is one that continues to flow regardless or forces acting on it, and is only governed by temperature and pressure. Gas certainly 'flows' without the use of force: a gas will fill an unoccupied room without any external forces.
What properties do gases and liquids share?
they are fluid
Are gases and liquids fluids?
A fluid is any substance that can flow. Since liquids and both flow, they are fluids.
How are gasses and liquids similar in shape and volume?
ANSWER unlike solids, both liquids and gases can change their shape to fit the container in which they are held. however, gases can also change volume unlike liquids.
Is there a difference between fluids and liquids?
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.
What is the difference between a solid and a liquid volume?
Solids and liquids both have definite volumes. Gasses, however, do not have a definite volume.
What are the properties of hydraulics and pneumatics?
One similarity is that they both use fluids. Both gasses and liquids are fluids. the two are also compressible.
What is the compressibility of a fluid?
What kind of fluid, liquid or gas? Gases are compressible, liquids pretty much are not. (And yes, both gases and liquids are fluids; the word "fluid" comes from the same root word that gives us "flow," which both gases and liquids are capable of doing.)
What allows a state of matter to also be considered a fluid?
"Fluid" essentially means "capable of flowing". Both gases and liquids are fluids.
