The Role of Fluids in Humans and Cars
Fluids play a crucial role in the proper function and performance of many machines. Two such machines are the human body and a vehicle. Both of these machines consist of several systems that work together to produce life and movement. These systems need several fluids for different reasons.
Cooling
Re-energizing
Cleaning
Cooling Fluids
Cooling Fan
Cooling fan helps the car parts to cool down, by passing air through fans.
Sweat
Blood pushes sweat against your pores and forces them the sweat out. By doing so, you're removing heat from the body.
Air Conditioning
Fluids from the air conditioning that is then Freon gas absorbs heat pushed through the vents to cool the passenger cabin. In the human body, you can use your breath to move air to cool down food or a hot drink.
Re-energizing Fluids
Engine
The brain sends messages throughout the body , messages like walking, running, hand wave, turn left and right backwards and forwards and many more signals just like the Engine in a car. The engine tells the car what to do; it’s the brain of the vehicle. It usually deals with the transmission, and other passive driving things.
Human Heart
The human heart is the pump in our circulatory system. The heart is a muscle which makes the blood, oxygen and arteries travel around the body, pump blood throughout the body. A car pump pumps fuel throughout the car just like a human heart pumps blood throughout the body.
Air Intake System
The lungs, intake of oxygen and removal of carbon dioxide is called gas exchange. Gas exchange is part of breathing. Breathing is a very important function of life; it helps your body work properly. The function of the air intake system is to allow air to reach your car engine. Oxygen in the air is one of the necessary ingredients for the engine combustion process. A good air intake system allows for clean and continuous air into the engine, thus achieving more power and better distance for your car.
Cleaning Fluids
Xenon gas
This fluid helps us see better in bad weather conditions such as fog, when the head lamps aren't very successful. This fluid functions like tears in the human body because the fluid coats the eye to help increase vision.
Tears
Tears clean away dirt & fragments from the surface of the eye.
Windshield Wiper
The wind shield fluid helps clean dirt off the window, so that the driver can see better and also help prevent accidents.
In conclusion, if we compare the human body with a car, we will find that they have many connections and similarities between them when it comes to fluids. It also shows that fluids play a very important role in both cars and humans.
