The density of a fluid will increase according to applied pressure.

Even water can be compressed so much that it eventually turns into a metallic substance.

Compressed fluids will however not remain in this state when pressure is released.

Does a fluid's density change when it is compressed and attenuated?

Yes it does change because its mass does not change but its volume does. When it is compressed the density will increase because its volume does. When it is attenuated will decrease because the volume does. Density is mass over volume. Remember: it only works because its mass stays the same and the volume changes.


What happens when a fluid is compressed?

When a fluid is compressed, the volume of the fluid decreases while the pressure and temperature increase. This leads to an increase in the density of the fluid.


What happens to the pressure of fluid that is compressed in a confined space?

When a fluid is compressed in a confined space, the pressure of the fluid increases. This occurs because the molecules of the fluid are being pushed closer together, leading to a higher density and thus an increase in pressure.


What are the properties and characteristics of an incompressible fluid?

An incompressible fluid is a substance that does not change its volume when subjected to pressure. It has constant density and is not easily compressed. Incompressible fluids flow smoothly and exhibit properties such as high viscosity and low compressibility.


What happens to the density of a fluid if you change its mass but keep the volume constant?

If you change the mass of a fluid while keeping the volume constant, the density of the fluid will change. Density is calculated as mass divided by volume, so if the mass changes but the volume stays the same, the density will increase if the mass increases and decrease if the mass decreases.

When gaseous molecules are compressed they tend to?

They tend to change density, temperature or energy.


If chlorine gas is compressed does its density increase?

Yes It does increase. http://webbook.nist.gov/chemistry/fluid/ While this website doesn't include chlorine, any gas that is compressed will increase in density. Different gasses all have different compression-density relationships, but all gasses that are compressed will increase in density.


What would you expect to change a liquid density?

temperature of the fluid.


What determines the amount of pressure in a fluid?

change in elevation and change in density

How does the density of the air change in the Cartesian Diver experiment?

As the "diver" descends, air density inside the diver's capsule increases as it is compressed.


Would you expect to change a liquid's density?

The temperature of the fluid


What is meant by incompressible viscous fluid?

Which word do you not understand? incompressible - cannot be compressed viscous - resistant to flow, "thick" fluid - substance that flows (both gases and liquids are fluids, but gases are usually compressible; liquids generally aren't)
