Does the value of the coefficient of discharge depends on the flow rate?
coefficient of discharge depends on the state of the machine/system you are using.
if you are using very textured tubes then this number will be higher. if how ever you are using very flexable tubes and fluid at different pressures this can also effect your results as the inflow and outflow may be different, or the cross sectional area of the tubes again chganging the pressure/flow and thus you Cd value
What is experimental fluid dynamics?
Experimental fluid dynamics is a branch of fluid dynamics that involves conducting experiments in a controlled environment to study the behavior of fluids. Researchers use physical models, scaled-down prototypes, and advanced measurement techniques such as lasers and sensors to understand flow behaviors, turbulence, and other fluid phenomena. The data collected from these experiments help validate theoretical models and improve our understanding of how fluids interact with objects and surfaces.
What is fluid friction and what is an example of fluid friction?
Fluid friction occurs between layers within a fluidthat are moving relative to each other.
How is an airplane wing designed to lift the airplane.?
If straightened out, the top surface of the wing is longer than the bottom one. When air flows over the wing, it must travel faster over the top of the wing so there is less air pressure. higher air pressure on the bottom and lower air pressure on the top= LIFT. The higher the Airspeed the lower the air pressure is called Bernoulli's principle.
How is fluid dynamics hydrodynamic and aerodynamic related?
Hydrodynamics is the study of motion in liquids while aerodynamics is the study of motion in gases. But both of them are part of the study of fluid dynamics.
Is blood a compressible fluid?
if the density of the fluid changes with respect to pressure is called compressible fluid
f the density of the fluid does not changes with respect to pressure is called
incompressible fluid
Would a mercury manometer be able to measure a smaller pressure increment then a water manometer?
cause of the about of nice bits floating around
Mercury is better because 1) it doesn't evaporate 2) water has a density 13.6 times lower than mercury, so for some applications the size of the manometer would have to be very large.
What are properties of critical temperature?
the highest temperature at which a substance can exist as a liquid , is called its critical temperature .
e.g
critical temperature of carbon dioxide is 31.142 degree centigrade .
Where can you find pictures of 25 common laboratory apparatus and its functions?
You can find pictures and explanations of 25 common laboratory apparatus on educational websites, scientific equipment suppliers' websites, or in laboratory equipment manuals. Additionally, you can check scientific textbooks or online databases such as ScienceDirect for detailed information on the functions of each apparatus.
Can a needle float in soapy water?
Yes it is not possible. Because as soap is added then surface tension would get reduced and so possibility of float becomes less. When we carefully place the same needle on ordinary water floating is quite possible as water has more surface tension
Why is water moving through a hose a wave?
Which way will a helium balloon move if you slam on the brakes of your car?
If you slam on the brakes of your car, a helium-filled balloon will move towards the BACK of the car.
Since helium is lighter than air, a helium-filled balloon will float in air. This is an example of Archimedes Principle. This principle was first described by Archimedes, in the third century BC - the balloon experiences a buoyant force equal to the density of air times the volume of the balloon times the acceleration due to gravity, or
FB = p V g,
This buoyant force is directed OPPOSITE the direction of gravity (UP, whenever gravity is pointed DOWN).
Fast-forward 23 centuries, to 1907, when a young patent clerk named Albert Einstein first described something called the Equivalence Principle. This principle, the foundation of the Theory of General Relativity, states that it is impossible to distinguish between an accelerated reference frame and a gravitation-like force. In English, that means that a car decelerating (like when you slam on the breaks) feels and looks to everyone and everything inside the car as if there is a force of gravity towards the FRONT of the car. Heavy objects (like the driver, the passengers, and any loose objects sitting on the dashboard) act as if they are 'falling' forwards ('falling' in the direction of this 'gravity'). The helium-filled balloon will move towards the BACK of the car, because it will 'float' in the direction OPPOSITE this gravity.
For more detail, visit the Wikipedia or WikiAnswers pages on the Equivalence Principle, Archimedes Principle, and General Relativity.
Why do different size particles move at different speeds?
That happens when - as is the case in a gas for example - the distribution of probabilities, when graphed, is not symmetric. The "most probable particle speed" probably refers to the maximum of the curve, and this is not necessarily equal to the average.
Why specific gravity has no unit or dimensionless?
Because it's the ratio of two densities ... the density of the substance of interest
to the density of water.
In any ratio, the units of both quantities are the same, so the ratio winds up being
a dimensionless number.
What is flow rate for copper pipe?
1/2 OD or ID as copper is measured by OD BUT in plumbing rather then saying 5/8 L tubing we say 1/2 BUT 1/2 in ACR work is actually plumbers 3/8
The flow rate is about 7.5 to 10gpm Plenty for up to 3 low flow shower heads.
Why can a sewing needle can float on the surface water in a glass?
Yes if the surface tension of the water is not broken. If you are careful you can place a needle on the surface of the water in a glass. Also if you reduce the surface tension with detergent (just a very little is enough) the needle will sink because it's density is greater than that of the water.
NO (if the surface tension of the water is broken, a needle cannot float on the surface of water. This is because the needle has higher density than water (density is mass divided by volume).
Charles's Law, or the law of volumes, was found in 1678. It says that, for an ideal gas at constant pressure, the volume is directly proportional to the absolute temperature (in Kelvin).
This can be found using the kinetic theory of gases or a heated container with a variable volume (such as a conical flask with a balloon).V = k2.T
Where T is the absolute temperature of the gas (in Kelvin) and k2 (in m3·K−1) is the constant produced.
What are the practical applications of Fluid Mechanics?
Applications of fluids could mean many different things. In medicine, this could refer to an intravenous infusion of saline. In the automotive world, this phrase could be used in reference to oil, gasoline, and other fluids used to maintain an engine.
What is surging in compressor?
Centrifugal and axial compressors will surge when forward flow through the compressor can no longer be maintained, due to an increase in pressure across the compressor, and a momentary flow reversal occurs. Once surge occurs, the reversal of flow reduces the discharge pressure or increases the suction pressure, thus allowing forward flow to resume again until the pressure rise again reaches the surge point. This surge cycle will continue until some change is made in the process or compressor conditions.
What is critical velocity in fluid dynamics?
Critical velocity is that The Liquid Air flow in narrow pipe constatly.
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.
