FLUID MECHANICS Basic Fluid Properties and Governing Equations Density (): mass per unit volume (kg/m3 or slug/ft3) Specific Volume (v=1/): volume per unit mass Temperature (T): thermodynamic property that measures the molecular activity of an object. It is used to determine whether an object has reached thermal equilibrium. Pressure (p):pressure can be considered as an averaged normal force exerted on a unit surface area by impacting molecules. ( P lim F , N/m2 or pascal; lb/in2 or psi) A 0 A Pascal law: (under static condition) pressure acts uniformly in all directions. It also acts perpendicular to the containing surface. If a fluid system is not in motion, then the fluid pressure is equal its thermodynamic pressure. Atomspheric pressure (patm): pressure measured at the earth’s surface. 1 atm = 14.696 psi = 1.01325 x 105 N/m2 (pascal) Absolute pressure: pressure measured without reference to other pressures. Gage pressure: pgage= p absolute - patm Properties (cont’d) We begin with the simplest case – FLUID STATICS – the study of fluids at rest or in rigid-body motion (Chapter 3 – YAC). Pressure Measurement -Atmospheric pressure can be measured using a barometer: p=0 Vacuum p=0 Patm=1.01x105 Pa L p=patm Force balance patm A W mg ALg Patm gL is the density of the fluid, g is the gravitational constant Note: Patm is an absolute pressure since it is referenced to vacuum (more on this later) Pressure Measurement (cont’d) YAC: 3-1 – 3-3 (Read: infinitesimal) Similarly, this balance can be applied to a small fluid element as shown pA ( p dp) A mg Agdy, dp/dy = - g Free surface, p=p h p y dy x p+dp dp g, integrate from fluid element to dy the free surface p(h) p gh Rigid Body Motion – (YAC: 3-7) Example: If a container of fluid is accelerating with an acceleration of ax to the right as shown below, what is the shape of the free surface of the fluid? Balancing the forces and applying Newton’s 2nd Law: Balancing the forces on a fluid element p p+dp ax dy dp pA ( p dp ) A ma x Adxa x , ax dx dp a dy g ax tan(a ) , a tan 1 x dx dp g g ax a dx Buoyancy of a submerged body (YAC: 3-6) free surface h1 h2 p1=p+Lgh 1 Net force due to pressure difference dF=(p2-p1)dA=Lg(h2-h1)dA p2=p+Lgh2 Total net force (buoyancy) z z FB dF L g (h2 h1 )dA L gVdisplaced The Principle of Archimedes: The buoyancy acting on a submerged object is equal to the weight of the displaced fluid due to the presence of the object. This law is valid for all fluid and regardless of the shape of the body. It can also be applied to both fully and partially submerged bodies. Buoyancy (cont’d) Example: Titanic sank when it struck an iceberg on April 14, 1912. Five of its 16 watertight compartments were punctuated when it collides with the iceberg underwater. Can you estimate the percentage of the iceberg that is actually beneath the water surface? It is known that when water freezes at 0 C, it expands and its specific gravity changes from 1 to 0.917. When the iceberg floats, its weight balances the buoyancy force exerted on the iceberg by the displaced water. weight W = FB ice gVice berg water gVsubmerged Vsubmerged buoyancy Vice berg ice 0.917 91.7% water 1 Therefore, more than 90% of the iceberg is below the water surface. Fluid Properties - Viscosity Due to interaction between fluid molecules, the fluid flow will resist a shearing motion. The viscosity is a measure of this resistance. Moving Plate constant force F constant speed U H Stationary Plate From experimental observation, F A(U/H)=A(dV/dy) F dV , where is shear stress A dy dV lb sec N sec , where is dynamic viscosity , The unit of is or dy ft 2 m2 ft 2 m2 kinematic viscosity , has unit of or sec sec Boundary Layers Immediately adjacent to a solid surface, the fluid particles are slowed by the strong shear force between the fluid particles and the surface. This relatively slower moving layer of fluid is called a “boundary layer”. Laminar dV dy Turbulent Question: which profile has larger wall shear stress? In other words, which profile produces more frictional drag against the motion of the solid surface? Partial Differential Equations Many physical phenomena are governed by PDE since the physical functions involved usually depend on two or more independent variables (ex. Time, spatial coordinates). Their variation with respect to these variables need to be described by PDE not ODE (Ordinary Differential Equations). Example: In dynamics, we often track the change of the position of an object in time. Time is the only variable in this case. X=x(t), u=dx/dt, a=du/dt. In heat transfer, temperature inside an object can vary with both time and space. T=T(x,t). The temperature varies with time since it has not reach its thermal equilibrium. T Cp qin qout 0 t The temperature can also vary in space as according to the Fourier’s law: T T q KA , if q 0, then 0 x x Basic equations of (motion) Fluid Mechanics • Mass conservation (continuity equation): The rate of mass stored = the rate of mass in - the rate of mass out dm m in m out dt m in Area A L m V m out Within a given time t, the fluid element with a cross-sectional area of A moves a distance of L as shown. The mass flow rate can be represented as m L m A AV t t Hence, for constant density (incompressible) flows, continuity is given by: dm ( AV )in ( AV ) out dt For steady state condition: mass flow in = mass flow out ( AV )in ( AV )out Now, looking at the left hand term: dm d ( V ) dV d V m in m out dt dt dt dt Keep density constant, volume changes with time ex: blow up a soap bubble Keep volume constant, density changes with time ex: pump up a basketball Example: filling up an empty tank h(t) Water is fed into an empty tank using a hose of cross-sectional area of 0.0005 m2. The flow speed out of the hose is measured to be 10 m/s. Determine the rate of increase for the water height inside the tank dh/dt.

The areas at sections 1 & 2 are 5 m3 and 1 m3, respectively. The inlet flow speed is 20 m/s and we know the outlet speed at section 2 is 100 m/s by mass conservation. If the pressure at section 2 is the atmospheric pressure at 1.01x105 N/m2, what is the pressure at section 1.
