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