  2. Fluid dynamics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fluid_dynamics

    For liquids, whether the incompressible assumption is valid depends on the fluid properties (specifically the critical pressure and temperature of the fluid) and the flow conditions (how close to the critical pressure the actual flow pressure becomes). Acoustic problems always require allowing compressibility, since sound waves are compression ...

  3. Rayleigh–Plesset equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rayleigh–Plesset_equation

    Neglecting surface tension and viscosity, the equation was first derived by W. H. Besant in his 1859 book with the problem statement stated as An infinite mass of homogeneous incompressible fluid acted upon by no forces is at rest, and a spherical portion of the fluid is suddenly annihilated; it is required to find the instantaneous alteration of pressure at any point of the mass, and the time ...

  4. Raoult's law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raoult's_law

    Raoult's law (/ ˈ r ɑː uː l z / law) is a relation of physical chemistry, with implications in thermodynamics.Proposed by French chemist François-Marie Raoult in 1887, [1] [2] it states that the partial pressure of each component of an ideal mixture of liquids is equal to the vapor pressure of the pure component (liquid or solid) multiplied by its mole fraction in the mixture.

  5. Phase diagram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phase_diagram

    The pressure on a pressure-temperature diagram (such as the water phase diagram shown) is the partial pressure of the substance in question. [1] The solidus is the temperature below which the substance is stable in the solid state. The liquidus is the temperature above which the substance is stable in a liquid state.

  6. Hagen–Poiseuille equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hagen–Poiseuille_equation

    Also assume the center is moving fastest while the liquid touching the walls of the tube is stationary (due to the no-slip condition). To figure out the motion of the liquid, all forces acting on each lamina must be known: The pressure force pushing the liquid through the tube is the change in pressure multiplied by the area: F = −A Δp. This ...

  7. Bernoulli's principle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bernoulli's_principle

    The change in pressure over distance dx is dp and flow velocity v = ⁠ dx / dt ⁠. Apply Newton's second law of motion (force = mass × acceleration) and recognizing that the effective force on the parcel of fluid is −A dp. If the pressure decreases along the length of the pipe, dp is negative but the force resulting in flow is positive ...

  8. Fugacity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fugacity

    In a liquid mixture, the fugacity of each component is equal to that of a vapor component in equilibrium with the liquid. In an ideal solution, the fugacities obey the Lewis-Randall rule: =, where x i is the mole fraction in the liquid and f ∗ i is the fugacity of the pure liquid phase. This is a good approximation when the component ...

  9. Stokes problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stokes_problem

    The pressure gradient does not enter into the problem. The initial, no-slip condition on the wall is (,) = ⁡, (,) =, and the second boundary condition is due to the fact that the motion at = is not felt at infinity. The flow is only due to the motion of the plate, there is no imposed pressure gradient.
