fluid mechanicZZZ

  1. static vs. dynamic fluid

  • statics: fluids at rest

  • dynamics: fluids in motion

  1. what is burst pressure? 

  • certain amount of water pressure a pipe can withstand

  1. what is head loss? 

  • loss in pressure

  1. what is head loss a result of? 

  • friction, often in pipes

  • minor losses due to eddy formations when a pipe changes shape

  1. what are eddy formations? 

  • patterns that form in a fluid as the pipe changes shape
