PRESSURE
1. Pressure is defined as force per unit
area.
2. Standard unit is Pascal, which is N/m2
3. For liquid pressure, the medium is
considered as a continuous
distribution of matter.
4. For gas pressure, it is calculated as
the average pressure of molecular
collisions on the container.
5. Pressure acts perpendicular on the
surface.
6. Pressure is a scalar quantity –
pressure has no particular direction (i.e.
acts in every direction).
Pascal’s Law
Pf = P0 + ρgh
1. “When there is an increase in
pressure at any point in a confined
fluid, there is an equal increase at
every point in the container.”
2. In a fluid, all points at the same
depth must be at the same pressure.
3. Consider a fluid in equilibrium.
Hydraulics
1. A1v1 = A2v2
P+1/2ρv*v+ρgh=constant
Constant density
1. A2 < A1 ; V2 > V1
2. According to Bernoulli’s Law,
pressure at A2 is lower.
3. Choked flow: Because pressure
cannot be negative, total flow
rate will be limited. This is
useful in controlling fluid
velocity.
P2 + 1 / 2 ρ v 1 2 = P1 + 1
/ 2ρ v 12 ;
Δ P = ρ/ 2 * ( v 2 2 – v 1 2 )
Atomizer
1
/2 ρv22 = pg(h1-h2)
V22 = 2g(h1-h2)
∴ V2 = √(2g(h1-h2))
Q = Av2 = A √(2g(h1-h2))
Streamlines
1 A streamline is a path traced out by
a mass less particle as it moves with
the flow.
2. Velocity is zero at the surface.
1. As you move away from the surface,
the velocity uniformly approaches the
free stream value (fluid molecules
nearby the surface are dragged due to
viscosity).
2. The layer at which the velocity reaches
the free stream value is called
boundary layer. It does not necessarily
match the shape of the object –
boundary layer can be detached,
creating turbulence (wing stall in
aerodynamic terms).
