What does Bernoulli's equation relate to in fluid flow?

• Bernoulli's equation relates pressure, velocity, and height in fluid flow.

• Bernoulli's equation only relates temperature and pressure.

• Bernoulli's equation describes the behavior of solid objects.

• Bernoulli's equation is used to calculate the density of fluids.

What is the unit of viscosity in the SI system?

• joule-second (J·s)

• pascal-second (Pa·s)

• watt-second (W·s)

• newton-second (N·s)

What type of flow is characterized by a Reynolds number less than 2000?

• Turbulent flow

• Steady flow

• Transitional flow

• Laminar flow

What is the primary function of a pump in fluid systems?

• To filter impurities from fluids.

• To increase the temperature of fluids.

• To store fluids temporarily.

• The primary function of a pump in fluid systems is to move fluids.

Which device is used to measure fluid flow rate?

• Thermometer

• Pressure gauge

• Manometer

• Flow meter

What is the effect of temperature on the viscosity of a liquid?

• Temperature inversely affects the viscosity of a liquid; higher temperatures decrease viscosity, while lower temperatures increase it.

• Temperature has no effect on the viscosity of a liquid.

• Viscosity is unaffected by temperature changes.

• Higher temperatures increase viscosity while lower temperatures decrease it.

What is the significance of the Reynolds number in fluid mechanics?

• The Reynolds number indicates fluid density only.

• The Reynolds number measures fluid temperature.

• The Reynolds number is used to calculate pressure loss.

• The Reynolds number helps predict flow behavior in fluid mechanics.
