Module 1 - Fluid Machinery

This module introduces the principles of fluid flow. It defines key fluid properties and terms. The module objectives are to define fluid properties, determine fluid flow types using the Reynolds number, derive head of fluid using Bernoulli's equation, determine a pump's total dynamic head, and solve fluid flow problems. Topic areas include fluid definitions, properties, flow types, continuity and Bernoulli equations, and head. Sample problems demonstrate calculations for fluid properties and forces on bodies in fluids.

LEARNING
OBJECTIVES
After studying this module, you should be able to:

1. Define the basic properties of fluid;


2. Determine the types of flow of fluid using
the Reynolds number;
3. Derive the three forms of head of fluid and
the total dynamic head (TDH) or external
head of pumps using Bernoulli’s Equation;
4. Determine the total dynamic head of a
pump; and
5. Solve problems involving the principles of
fluid flow.

Module 1 reviews the principles of fluid flow


TOPIC including the basic fluid properties such as density,
OUTLINE specific volume, specific weight, and viscosity. It
also deals with the Reynolds number, types of flows,
1. Introduction continuity equation, Bernoulli’s equation, and the
2. Definition of terms

SAMPLE PROBLEMS

1.A reservoir of glycerin has a mass of 1200kg


and a volume of 0.952 m3. Find the glycerin’s
weight, mass density, specific weight, and
specific gravity.

2.The weight of a body is 100lb. Determine a) its


weight in newtons, b) its mass in kilogram, and
c) the rate of acceleration (ft/s 2) and (m/s2) if a
net force of 50 lbs. is applied to the body.
