Brownian Motion


First observed in 1785
by Jan Ingenhauz
If a small visible particle is observed in a fluid it
will slowly move without any visible force being
applied.
Examples: Smoke particles in air
Pollen in water
Molecules in the air collide with the smoke
particles randomly and it is moving due to the
continually altering resultant force.

Diffusion


When particles are released in an enclosed area (i.e. smoke) they
slowly disperse throughout the fluid (i.e. air).
This is due to collisions between molecules moving the particles
of the smoke in a random direction.

Definition:
 molecules in a gas have a random motion
 They hit a surface
 When they hit they exert a force.
 This force causes the pressure on a surface
 Can increase the pressure by
 more particles (more impacts, therefore more force)
 Faster particles (harder impacts, therefore more force)
 Smaller area

first floor window effectively doubling her weight. Her thigh
bones can each stand a pressure of 200 N/cm2. Will her bones

Pressure increases with depth
Pressure is the same in all directions at a certain depth
pressure difference = height × density × g
p=h×ρ×g
So the pressure difference in water (ρ=1000 kg/m3 is a lot greater
than the pressure difference in the atmosphere ρ=1.2kg/m3)

• Definition:
• For a fixed mass of gas at a constant volume, the pressure is
directly proportional to its absolute temperature
• Equation:
• p/T = constant
• Where:
•p is pressure in Pa
•T is temperature in K
• Notes:
• Only works if temperature is in kelvin
• Pa ≡ Nm-2

Worked Examples

• We normally use the pressure law to compare pressures before and
after.
• As p/T = Constant then
p/T before = p/T after
• Hence it is often written as:
• p1/T1 = p2/T2
