"Fluids" are substances whose particles are not rigidly attached to each other. Thus, they can flow.

Which one doesnt belong Fluid Liquid Soid Gas?

Liquid, Solid, an Gas are all states of matter, while Fluid is not.


A fluid is?

A fluid is any gas or liquid that flows, can be poured, and takes the shape of its container.


What is granular fluid?

A granular fluid is a material that behaves as a fluid in the quantities considered. Flour, sand, wheat, and indeed even gravel could be considered as fluids when free flowing. They have the properties of a fluid. They will have a constant volume, and will occupy the shape of the containing vessel.


The only state of matter that is not a fuild is?

The solid state is not a fluid. The other three states, liquid, gas, and plasma, all have fluidic properties.The four states of matter are solid, liquid, gas, and plasma. A fluid is a substance that has no fixed shape and yields easily to external pressure. This is the case with liquid, gas, and plasma phases. The solid phase, however, does not fit these parameters and that is obviously because it is not a fluid. So, the Solid phase is never a fluid.


Is there a relationship between gas and liquid?

There are a couple of ways to look at the relationship between gas and liquid. Yes, they are related, and a basic way to look at them is that a liquid is a substance that is at a temperature and pressure that allow it to exist in that state. Recall the basic physics that specifies materials as existing as a solid, liquid or gas. We also have plasma in situations where energy levels in a system are extremely high. (There are also a couple of other exotic states of matter as well.) When temperatures are low, materials are solids. Heat them and they melt or liquefy. Heat them more, and they become a gas. (Pressure plays a part here, but we can set that aside for the time being.) There is also another way that a physicist could look at a gas and liquid.Both a liquid and a gas can be considered a fluid by an investigator. The science of fluid mechanics generally treats a liquid or a gas in the same way. Air moving across the wing of an aircraft is considered or viewed as a fluid by the engineer. Water moving across the blades of a turbine in a hydroplant is looked as a fluid by the engineering minds behind the design of the turbine. The whole of hydraulics (sometimes called fluid power by the industry) is a study in the applications of fluid mechanics.Whether your investigations take that first step in physics and examine states of matter, or they advance to the stage where you are considering problems with moving liquids or gases, you will see connections between a gas and a liquid. A gas is the state of matter at a higher energy than that of the same material as a liquid, which is that fundamental relationship first mentioned. Additionally, a gas and a liquid could be looked as fluids by the individual making inquiries into fluid mechanics. The two states of matter (liquids and gases) behave in much the same way, and the primary difference is simply the density of the substance being considered.

Why is gas considered fluid?

Because it has the ability to flow.


Is a fluid a liquid or a gas?

Actually, liquid and gas are both fluids.


Is steam considered a fluid?

Yes, steam is considered a fluid because it is a gas phase of water that can flow and take the shape of its container, similar to how liquids behave.


Is a gas considered a fluid?

Gas would not be considered a fluid. A good example of fluid is water. Anything that is a liquid is a fluid. The examples of gases are; carbon dioxide, hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen, methane, helium, argon, sodium, chlorine and sulphur.


Is natural gas the same as fluid gas?

No it is not. Natural gas is not man-made, and fluid gas is man-made.


Is gas a fluid?

gas is not a liquid,but gasoline commonly called gas is a liquid .


Why does heat rise in a fluid or gas?

Heat rises in a fluid or gas because when the fluid or gas is heated, its molecules gain energy and move faster, causing them to spread out and become less dense. This decrease in density makes the heated fluid or gas less heavy than the surrounding cooler fluid or gas, causing it to rise.


What other than a liquid is a fluid?

A gas is also a fluid. 2. sometimes granular material can be considered a fluid. Free-to-flow wheat and sand would be examples. Some industrial processes use a 'fluidized bed' to promote reactions.


What flows easily solid liquid or a gas?

gas.


Is oxygen a fluid?

A fluid is anything that flows, whether liquid or gas. This means that oxygen is a fluid as long as it isn't solid. Note. Oxygen has to be cooled to 900K even to liquify. It solidifies at 500K (at normal atmospheric pressure).


Is baby powder a fluid?

Baby powder is not a fluid because it is not a substances that flows. It is not a gas or a liquid however it is a solid. a fluid is either a liquid or a gas
