PHSI191 Cheat sheet Mk.1
If an object returns to its original shape and size when force is removed, then it behaves elastically.
Latent heat is thermal

phase change 1kg of
If L > L0 then tensile strain is positive substance
(lengthen)
U is stored energy
Compressive is opposite.
Q is heat energy
Flow of viscous fluid through pipe required W is work energy
higher pressure at inlet than outlet E is 'food' energy
k is thermal

Total Energy in springs = E k + EP hcond is the
Surface tension - Cohesion is attraction
between like substances, adhesion is the conduction heat
attraction between unlike substances. transfer coefficient.
Capillarity - Phenomenon
where balance between Negative meniscus - Positive meniscus -
cohesive and adhesive forces Cohesive > Adhesive Adhesive > Cohesive
Transverse wave = Vertical Amplitude cause the fluid to climb up.
Longitudinal wave = Horizontal Amplitude
Incompressible - Fluid has constant density. Mass flowing in = Mass flowing out
Distribution of speeds of molecules is called
Viscosity - Internal friction of fluid.
the Maxwell-Boltzmann distribution.
Laminar - Steady and Smooth. A is the surface area, T is in K, σ is Stefan -
Turbulent - Occurs at higher velocities Bernoulli's equation - Laminar, incompressible, small Boltzmann constant, ε is emissivity of the

180 degree phase change when wave hits wall transfer coefficient
Nodes have amplitude = 0 Emissivity of black surfaces is between 0.9 and
Higher velocity means less pressure.
