MCAT Chemical and Physical Foundations of Biological Systems Flashcards: 4b Fluid Flow Continuity Bernoulli

Study 4b Fluid Flow Continuity Bernoulli in MCAT Chemical and Physical Foundations of Biological Systems with focused flashcards that help you recognize the idea, recall the key rule, and apply it in practice-style prompts.

QUESTION

State the relationship between gauge pressure PgP_g and absolute pressure PabsP_{abs}.

Tap card or press Space to flip

ANSWER

Pabs=Pg+PatmP_{abs}=P_g+P_{atm}. Absolute pressure PabsP_{abs} includes atmospheric pressure PatmP_{atm} added to gauge pressure PgP_g, accounting for total pressure.

A researcher measures steady, incompressible flow through a horizontal tube and reports A1v1=A2v2A_1 v_1 = A_2 v_2 for two points along the tube. Which experimental observation would most directly violate the use of the continuity equation in this form for the segment between points 1 and 2?
