How does aerodynamic design of cars and trucks affect gas mileage? Other applications of Fluid Technology…

7. U3f - L1 College engineering text definition: –a substance that deforms continuously when acted on by a shearing stress of any magnitude Standard definition: –a substance (as a liquid or a gas) that conforms to the shape of its container Gases are compressible, liquids are not Fluid Systems have 2 things in common: –They contain a fluid, either gas (pneumatics) or liquid (hydraulics) –They contain a pressure difference that creates a net force What is a FLUID?

8. U3f - L1 Area – a surface within certain boundaries –Typically 2-dimensional Volume – the amount of space an object occupies –3-dimensional Force – a push or pull Pressure – a force applied over an area FLUID PRINCIPLES What is the area of the portion of this piece of lumber that sits on the floor? (Convert all units to inches first) 4” x 12” = 48 square inches What is the total volume of this piece of lumber? (Convert all units to inches first) 48” x 2” = 96 cubic inches Your teacher stands on this piece of wood on the floor. What is the pressure applied to the floor beneath the wood?

9. U3f - L1 Pressure is a force applied over an area. What are some typical units for pressure? –Psi (pounds per square inch) Pressure = Force / Area FLUID PRINCIPLES A = 48 square inches Your teacher (weighing 165 pounds) stands on this piece of wood on the floor. What is the pressure applied to the floor beneath the wood? F = 165 lbs. P = F / A P = 165 lbs / 48 in 2 P = 3.44 psi
