Derived termsFrom Wiktionary under the GNU Free Documentation License. A fluid is a substance that continually deforms (flows) under an applied shear stress. Fluids are a subset of the phases of matter and include liquids, gases, plasmas and, to some extent, plastic solids. In common usage, "fluid" is often used as a synonym for "liquid", with no implication that gas could also be present. For example, "brake fluid" is hydraulic oil and will not perform its required function if there is gas in it. This colloquial usage of the term is also common in medicine and in nutrition ("take plenty of fluids"). Liquids form a free surface (that is, a surface not created by the container) while gases do not. The distinction between solids and fluid is not entirely obvious. The distinction is made by evaluating the viscosity of the substance. Silly Putty can be considered to behave like a solid or a fluid, depending on the time period over which it is observed. It is best described as a viscoelastic fluid. There are many examples of substances proving difficult to classify. A particularly interesting one is pitch, as demonstrated in the pitch drop experiment currently running at the University of Queensland. From Wikipedia under the

I read online that it is good to drink 2-3 liters a day of water. I have a bottle that measures ounces and milliliters, but not liters. I don't know how to find the answer to my question. So, how many fluid ounces would I have to drink to have drank 2 liters? Can you also see how many fluid ounces equal 3 liters too? Thanks. Asked by BK - Sat Apr 11 10:45:03 2009 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments A. Converting millileters to liters is fairly straight forward. There are 1,000 milliliters for every liter. So if your drink in 240 ml (8oz) it is .240 liters. YOu would have to drink roughly 8 - 10 240 ml bottles of water to get 2 - 3 liters.

Q. I have two blocked eustachian tubes. I know how to do soft tissue manipulation like the chiropractor does. I'm just curious as to why the fluid builds up in the first place. If there were no build up then it would not matter if the tube was blocked or not. Maybe? Asked by WordsToExpress - Thu Sep 11 20:27:00 2008 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments A. Eustachian tubes contain fluid much like your sinuses contain fluid. the fluid is to lubricate and clean, and normally do not create problems when they are healthy. Most eustachian tubes of children are perpendicular to the ear, which is why they have more of a tendency to be plugged...i.e. ear infections. The fluid has a harder time draining, so creates pressure on the eardrum, manifested in a painful ear. As we grow, eustachian tubes run diagonally down from the ear, so they drain easier. Some peoples' tubes run more like a child's' so they have more tendency to become infected. Allergies can cause build of fluid, as your body tries to remove the allergens with the fluid. Sometimes there is buildup after a cold or virus.
