Fluids and Solutions for Schools

Fluids are all around us. The air we breath, the water we drink, and the steam coming from our hot coffee are all fluids. Many plant systems and processes rely upon fluids for lubrication or to transport materials or heat from one location to another. Fluids are also sometimes mixed with other fluids or with solids to create new compounds, mixtures, or solutions. Solutions, including salt water, soft drinks, and antifreeze, are also plentiful. To work safely and productively, operators of fluid-based systems and processes must be familiar with the principles and characteristics of fluids and solutions. They must also understand the effects of temperature and pressure on fluids and solutions.
