1
Pascals
________ principle if pressure is applied to an enclosed system it is transmitted undiminished in the system.
New cards
2
Streamlines
________ visualize the fluid flow, its tangent gives info.
New cards
3
Bernoullis principle
________ tells us that the sum of the pressures is constant.
New cards
4
Hagen Poiseuilles
________ law the change in pressure is proportional to the resistance of fluids.
New cards
5
internal friction
If there is no viscosity there will be no ________ between the fluid.
New cards
6
Turbulent flow
________: we have relatively circular streamlines and speed of the fluid is faster.
New cards
7
Medical relevance
________: RADIAL PULSE; due to periodicity of the heart cycle the changing pressure can be detected as palpitations at the arteries and also find out number of heartbeats.
New cards
8
Laminar flow
________: when the streamlines are parallel to each other.
New cards
9
Hydrostatic pressure
________: considering resting fluids, pressure due to the weight of a fluid.
New cards
10
Blood
________ and aid are considered to be fluids and the tubes are assumed to have rigid walls.
New cards
11
Stokes law
________ describes the movement of a spherical object in a viscous medium.
New cards
12
Stationary flow
________: the streamlines do not change at any point.
New cards
13
Static pressure
________: ratio of force exerted on a certain area.
New cards
14
Static pressure
ratio of force exerted on a certain area
New cards
15
Hydrostatic pressure
considering resting fluids, pressure due to the weight of a fluid
New cards
16
High pressure
low pressure, pressure at IV point is larger than atmospheric pressure so Hydrostatic pressure provides the pressure difference
New cards
17
Dynamic pressure
if a fluid is moving at certain speed it has kinetic energy, this pressure is the kinetic energy of a fluid with a given volume
New cards
18
Medical relevance
RADIAL PULSE; due to periodicity of the heart cycle the changing pressure can be detected as palpitations at the arteries and also find out number of heartbeats
New cards
19
Ideal fluids
viscosity = 0
New cards
20
a) Newtonian
constant viscosity
New cards
21
b) Non-Newtonian
not constant viscosity
New cards
22
Stationary flow
the streamlines do not change at any point
New cards
23
Laminar flow
when the streamlines are parallel to each other
New cards
24
Turbulent flow
we have relatively circular streamlines and speed of the fluid is faster
