1. A gas may be required for a certain use that must be either lighter than air, such a helium balloon, or heavier than air. Air may not have the right density.

2. Oxygen is a reactive gas, air is 22% oxygen. CO2 gas can be used as a fire extinguisher but not air.

Precipitation and storms occur in where?

Does precipitation and storms occur in high pressure sytems Precipitation and storms occur when cold air meets hot air. This can also happen when a cold front moves into a warmer area.


Which fluid produces greater buoyancy air or water?

Water produces greater buoyancy than air because water is denser than air. This means that an object will displace more water and experience a greater buoyant force when submerged in water compared to when surrounded by air.


Is air a compressible fluid?

Yes, air is a compressible fluid because its volume can be reduced under pressure. When pressure is applied to a gas like air, its molecules move closer together, causing the volume to decrease. This property of compressibility makes air an important fluid in various applications such as pneumatic systems.


What are some good types of fluid dymanics?

Aerodynamics and hydrodynamics are some good types of fluid dynamics. Hydrodynamics is the study of fluids in motion while aerodynamics is that study of air and gases in motion.


How is air extracted from the atmosphere?

As the atmosphere is air there is no need to extract air from it. To isolate some of it then simply open a bag then seal the top. Pumps may also be used to pressurise it in a suitable container.


What is air fluid?

Air fluid is a term used to describe a mixture or combination of air and liquid. This can be found in various situations, such as within pneumatic systems, hydraulic systems, or medical diagnostic imaging. A common example of this is the air-fluid level seen on a chest X-ray indicating the presence of both air and fluid in the lungs.


Is air an example of a fluid?

Yes, air is an example of a fluid. Fluids are substances that can flow and take the shape of their container, and air fits this definition.


Why are bubbles in automatic transmission fluid?

Air Bubbles in Transmission FluidThere is usually one of two causes for air bubbles in transmission fluid. First, your transmission fluid level may be too low. A low level of transmission fluid will cause the pump to suck up air with the transmission fluid and the result will be air bubbles or foam seen in the transmission fluid when checked on the dipstick. The second most common cause for air bubbles in the fluid is that there may be too much transmission fluid in the tranmission. Too much fluid in the transmission pan can be remedied by draining out some of the fluid. Some vehicles do have drain plugs like an oil pan, but with most vehicles you will have to remove the transmission pan to lower the level of fluid. If your vehicle does not have a drain plug and you plan to remove the pan to lower the fluid level, you may as well change the transmission fluid and replace the transmission filter. Or if you don't want to do it yourself, take your vehicle to a reputable repair shop and have them do the fluid and filter change for you. On most vehicles, changing the transmission fluid and filter is not a difficult task. If you do notice air bubbles in your transmission fluid, make sure you take action immediately as either of the causes above can quickly cause severe wear to your transmission parts.


Does air act like a fluid?

Gas is classified as a fluid because of the way it flows. Air is composed of gas.
