The Role of Fluids in People and Cars.
Energy
Have you ever wondered what provides energy to a car? Well, fluids play a vital role in providing cars with energy. There are two main fluids that produce energy within a car. Firstly, engine oil helps power up the engine in a car and then the energy produced by the engine travels through the whole car. Also, battery acid helps power other components of the car using electro-chemical energy. As you can see, both of these fluids are very important because they provide energy to the car.
Cooling
Fluids also help cool down a car when it is over heated after a long use. Engine Coolant is one of the most effective fluid as it cools down the engine by absorbing all the heat from engine and the car and venting it out ! Also, air conditioning helps keep the car cold from inside. Freon gas absorbs heat from the air and pushes it out through the vents to cool the passenger area/cabin. Air conditioning is very important in a car during hot summer days.
Vision
Finally, fluids also help increase the vision in a car. We use lightbulbs of a car to see better while driving. The lightbulbs use Xenon gas to help you see the road better during bad weather conditions. It increases the visibility through the air or darkness, which helps you see farther and clearer when you are driving in foggy weather, snow or rain. Once again, windshield also helps increase the visibility by cleaning the windshield and helping you see better and more clear.
Energy
Just like fluids provide cars with energy, fluids also provide energy to humans. Blood plays a huge role in providing energy to humans. Blood carries oxygen and essential nutrients to all parts of the body providing us with energy and strength. Gatorade is an another fluid that also gives us energy. It provides essential nutrients to your body such as electrolytes and carbohydrates. Carbohydrates and electrolytes are two important nutrients that give us energy. So, fluids play a vital role in providing humans with energy.
Cooling
Fluids also help cool down the human body and maintain the right temperature. When we exercise or play our body gets tired and it heats up just like a car. Then a fluid called sweat is released out of our body and it helps cool down our body and maintain a good temperature. All the heat is released through sweat from our body. Also, cold surrounding air (which is also a fluid) in the environment helps cool down our body. When cold air makes contact with hot tissues particles on our skin, the hot skin tissues start to cool down.
Vision
This is where fluids play a huge role in our body. Fluids are also involved in helping use to see better and improve our vision. Vitreous humor and Retina are two very important fluids. Vitreous humor holds the retina in it's place and allows the incoming light to travel to the retina. So, this fluid is very important in helping us see properly. Another fluid called aqueous humor also helps us a lot. It is located in front of the iris and it holds iris in it's place. As you can see, fluids are very important as improve our vision.
