Compressible Fluid

Compressible Fluid

What is it?

Compressible fluids are
fluids which decrease in volume when pressure is increased.

Give me an example!

Water is a common compressible fluid. Highly pressurized water is used to clean things—from the faces on Mount Rushmore to dirt on cars and trucks. Soda pop is pressurized with
Carbon Dioxide (CO2) to make it easier to pour in restaurants.
