Fluids | MCQs

Explanation

Hydraulic power systems use fluids to transmit power and motion, and the most common fluids used are:

• Water (in hydraulic systems like water supply networks, fire suppression systems, and hydroelectric power plants)
• Oil (in hydraulic systems like heavy machinery, construction equipment, and industrial manufacturing)
• Non-compressible fluids (like hydraulic fluids, brake fluids, and transmission fluids) that are specifically designed for hydraulic systems.

Explanation

The equation of continuity A₁V₁ = A₂V₂ represents the conservation of mass in fluid flow.

The constant is equal to the Volume flow rate, which is the volume of fluid passing through a given area per unit time.

Explanation

A deficiency of sodium can lead to imbalances in fluid volume in the vessels and tissues, resulting in conditions such as:

• Hyponatremia (low sodium levels in the blood)
• Fluid retention and swelling
• Edema (excess fluid in tissues)
