Introduction Bernoulli’s principle can be underst ood it with a simple explanation that when fluid goes from a high-diameter pipe to a low-diameter duct, the speed of the fluid increases many times. Yes, it is true, but is it that simple? Not at all. This principle is quite complex, with many formulas and factors controlling it. There are many applications worldwide utilizing this beautiful principle. One of the common examples explaining Bernoulli's principle is that the pull you feel towards the train in a railway station when a train passes through the platform, and if you are waiting near the ...

Introduction Density can be described as a substance's mass per unit volume at a particular temperature and pressure. A gas's density is also determined by its mass divided by its volume. Additionally, once you are aware of a gas's density, you may determine its molar mass. All gases density varies with temperature and pressure. In this article we will learn how to calculate gas’s density. What is the Density of Gas? Gases are very responsive to changes in temperature and pressure, regardless of how slight the change may be since they are compressible, have constantly molecules are moving. Weak intermolecular ...

Dextrose saline and 5% dextrose saline are both types of intravenous solutions that are commonly used in clinical settings for various purposes, including fluid and electrolyte replacement, maintenance, and resuscitation. While these two solutions may seem similar, they have significant differences in their composition, indications, and contraindications, which may affect their use in specific patient populations. What is 5 Dextrose Saline? 5 dextrose is 5 percent dextrose which is a mixture of dextrose and water. 5 dextrose is an intravenous sugar solution that is composed of 5 gms of dextrorotatory form of glucose dissolved in 100 ml of H2O. Since ... Read More

It's a sweltering day out, and after a run, a long walk, a sweaty session at the gym, or even if you're just chilling in your pajamas at home – a cool, refreshing drink is just the thing you need. And there are a great variety of fluid options out there, sports drinks, sodas, coconut water, and just plain old H2O as well. But have you ever wondered if coconut water actually counts as a fluid? Have you been drinking this yummy, fresh fluid in vain? Coconut water 100% counts as a fluid. What's more, it's one of the most ... Read More

Introduction Archimedes’ Principle is an important principle of fluid mechanics. It is discovered by a Greek mathematician and scientist Archimedes. This principle is utilized to estimate the volume of an object that has an irregular shape, density, and distinct gravity of an object. What is Archimedes' Principle? A body placed on a fluid (liquid or gas) will experience an upward buoyant force. This force is equal to the amount of fluid displaced by the body. In the case of a completely immersed body or partially immersed body, the volume of the fluid displaced by the body will be equal to ... Read More

Introduction Gas is a peculiar condition of matter wherein the molecules seem to be widely separated and continually moving at tremendous speeds. Gases possess no fixed size, shape, or volume. Ideal gases include those in wherein the intermolecular attractive forces become zero. In ideal gases, molecules travel at high rates of speed, which causes all particles to be far distant from the closest particle, reducing the bonds between the molecules. Natural gases at extreme temps as well as low pressures are suitable. As the temp rises, so does the kinetic energy, causing the intermolecular force to diminish. What is Gaseous ... Read More

Despite its central role, water is the most underappreciated part of a healthy diet. Most of your body is composed of water. You may lose as much as three quarts of water a day, so it's important to replace that amount every day. Water is essential for almost every metabolic activity in the body. The average person needs between 8 and 10 glasses of water every day. Keeping track of what constitutes your daily water intake might be difficult. How Does Water Stack Up Against Soda? When comparing the two, water is the healthier option. According to USDA statistics, ... Read More

Introduction The particle is considered to be in motion when it changes its position to time. That means the particle is displaced from one position to another. The particle makes linear displacement If it is moving in linear motion. Similarly, the particle makes angular displacement if it is moving in a circular motion. That means circularly moving particles make angular displacement. There are laws describing the motion of particles. According to the first law, the particle does not change its state of motion or rest without any external force. The second law indicates that the force acting on the particle ... Read More

Introduction Every matter in the universe is composed of tiny particles called molecules. They attract each other with some attractive force. There exists an intermolecular force of attraction between molecules. The matter is classified into five categories based on the force of attraction between the molecules. They are solid, liquid, gas, plasma, and Bose-Einstein. Solids are the matter in which the distance between the molecules is very small and they are tightly bound to each other. Liquids are matter having molecules at a small distance and they bound less tightly than solids. What is Surface Tension? Surface tension is the ... Read More

Introduction If you have ever tried to take out honey by keeping the bottle upside down, it feels thick. It's due to the high viscosity of honey. And while pouring ketchup from the bottle, it takes more time to flow and needs an extra instantaneous force (by squeezing or squirting). This is because ketchup is also very thick. But viscosity in play is not the same in both cases. In the first case, there is Kinematic Viscosity When only gravitational force is in action, and in the second case, when you apply an external force by squeezing, dynamic viscosity is ... Read More
