Properties of Fluids
FLUID MECHANICS & HYDRAULICS
Fluid Meclumtics is a physical science dealing with the action of fluids at rest or
in motion, and with applications and devices in engineering using fluids.
Fluid mechanics can be subdivided into two major areas, fluid statics, which
deels with fluids at rest, and fluid dynamics, concerned with fluids in motion.
‘The term hydrodynamics is applied to the flow of liquids or to tow-velocity gas
flows where the gas can be considered as being essentially incompressible,
Hydraulics deals with the application of fluid mechanics to engineering devices
involving liquids, usually water or oil. Hydraulics deals with such problems
as the flow of fluids through pipes or in open channels, the design of storage
dams, pumps, and water turbines, and with other devices for the control o
use of liquids, such 9s nozzles, valves, jets, and flowmeters.
‘TYPES OF FLUID
Fluids are genetelly divided into two categories: ideel fluids and real fluids.
Meal fluids
‘+ Assumed to have no viscosity (and hence, no resistance to shear)
‘ Incompressible
++ Have uniform velocity when flowing
+ No friction between moving layers of fluid
«No eddy currents or turbulence
Real fluids
« Exhibit infinite viscosities
+ Non-uniform velocity distribution when flowing
+= Compressible
+ Experience friction and turbulence in flowFLUID MECHANICS.

cohesion (©) Cohesion > adhesion
Capillary (Capillary action) is the name given to the behavior of the liquid in a
thin-bore tube. The rise or fall or a fluid in a capillary tube is caused by
surface tension and depends on the relative magnitudes of the cohesion of the
liquid and the adhesion of the liquid to the walls of the containing vessel.
Liquids rise in tubes they wet (adhesion > cohesion) and fall in tubes they do
not wet (cohesion > adhesion). Capillary is important when using tubes
smaller than about 3/8 inch (9.5 mm) in diameter.

For complete wetting, as with water on clean giass, the angle 0 is 0°. Hence

COMPRESSIBILITY, B
Compressiility (also known as the coefficient of compressibility) is the fractional
change in the volume of a fluid per unit change in pressure in a constant-
temperature process.
FLUID MECHANICS
& HYDRAULICS
Pressure disturbances imposed on a fluid move in waves. The velocity or
celerity of pressure wave (also known as acoustical or sonic velocity) is
expressed as:

AV = change in volume
V= original volume

BULK MODULUS OF ELASTICITY, Ey
‘The bulk modulus of elasticity of the Nuid expresses the compressibility of the
fluid. It is the ratio of the change in unit pressure to the corresponding
‘volume change per unit of volume.

VAPOR PRESSURE
Molecular activity in a liquid will allow some of the molecules to escape the
liquid surface, Molecules of the vapor also condense back into the liquid. The
Vaporization and condensation at constant temperature are equilibrium
Processes. The equilibrium pressure exerted by these free molecules is known
8 the vapor pressure or saturation pressure.
‘Some liquids, such as propane, butane, ammonia, and Freon, have significant
vapor pressure at normal temperatures. Liquids near their boiling point or
that vaporizes easily are said to volatile liquids. Other liquids such as mercuty,
have insignificant vapor pressures at the same temperature. Liquids with low
‘Vapor pressure are used in accurate barometers,
‘The tendency toward vaporization is dependent on the temperature of the
liquid. Boiling occurs when the liquid temperature is increased to the point
that the vapor pressure is equal to the local ambient (surrounding) pressure,
‘Thus, a liquid’s boiling temperature depends on the Jocal ambient pressure, as
well as the liquid’s tendency to vaporize. .

UNIT PRESSURE OR PRESSURE, p
Pressure is the force per unit area exerted by a liquid or gas on a body or
surface, with the force acting at right angles to the surface uniformly in all
directions.
Force, F
PY Area,A
Eg.2-1
In the English system, pressure is usually measured in pounds pet square inch
{psi); in international usage, in kilograms per square centimeters (kg/cm), or
in atmospheres; and in the international metric system (Sl), in Newtons per
square meter (Pascal). The unit atmosphere (atm) is defined as a pressure of
1.03323 kg/em? (14.696 tb/in), which, in terms of the conventional mercury
barometer, corresponds to 760 mm (29.921 in) of mercury. The unit kilopascal
(kPa) is defined as a pressute of 0.0102 kg/cm? (0.145 Ib/sq in).
PASCAL'S LAW
Pascal's law, developed by French mathematician Blaise Pascal, states that the
pressure on a fluid is equal in all directions and in all parts of the container. In.
Figure 2 - 1, as liquid flows into the latge container at the bottom, pressure
pushes the liquid equally up into the tubes above the container. The liquid
riges to the same level in all of the tubes, regardless of the shape or angle of the
tube, :Figure 2 - 2: Ilustration of Pascal's Law
‘The laws of fluid mechanics are observable in many everyday situations, For
example, the pressure exerted by water at the bottom of a pond will be the
same as the pressure exerted by water at the bottom of a much narrower pipe,
provided depth remains constant. If a longer pipe filled with water is tilted so
that it reaches a maximum height of 15 m, its water will exert the same
pressure as the other examples (left of Figure 2 -2). Fluids can flow up as well
as down in devices such as siphons (right of Figure 2 - 2). Hydrostatic force
‘causes water in the siphon to flow up and over the edge until the bucket is
‘empty or the suction is broken. A siphon is particularly useful for emptying
containers that should not be tipped.

tube manometer is used. It consists of a U-shaped tube with one end connected to
the container and the other open to the atmosphere. Filled with a liquid, such as
water, oil, or mercury, the difference in the liquid surface levels in the two
manometer legs indicates the pressure difference from local atmospheric
conditions. For higher pressure differences, a Bourdon gauge, named after the
French inventor Eugene Bourdon, is used. This consists of a hollow metal tube
with an oval cross section, bent in the shape of a hook. One end of the tube is
‘closed, the other open and connected to the measurement region.
Atmospheric Pressure & Vacuum
“Atmospheric Pressure is the pressure at any one point on the earth's surface from the
weight of the air above i, A uncuum is a space that has ll matter removed from it
It is impossible to create a perfect vacuum in the laboratory; no matter how
advanced a vacuum system is, some molecules are always present in the vacuum
area, Even remote regions of outer space have a small amount of gas. A vacuum
can also be described as a region of space where the pressure is less than the
‘orina) atmospheric pressure of 760 mm (29.9 in) of mercury. .
Under Normal conditions at sea level:
Pam = 2166 Ib/

Steps In Solving Manometer Problems:
1. Decide on the fluid in feet or meter, of which the heads are to be
expressed, (water is mast advisable).
2. Stazting from an end point, number in order, the interface of different
fluids.
3. Identify points of equal pressure (taking into account that for a
homogeneous fluid at rest, the pressure along the same horizontal plane
are equal). Label these points with the same number.
4. Proceed from level to level, adding (if going down) or subtracting (if
going up) pressure heads as the elovation decreases or increases,
respectively with due regard for the specific gravity of the fluids.

BUOYANCY
ARCHIMEDES’ PRINCIPLE
A principle discovered by the Greek scientist Archimedes that states that “any
body immersed ina fluid is acted upon ty an uproard force (buoyant force} equal to the
weight of the displaced fluid’.
This principle, also known as the lavo of lupdrostatics, applies to both floating
and submerged bodies, and to ail fluids.
Consider the body shown in Figure 3-9 immersed in a fluid of unit weighty.
The horizontal components of the force acting on the body are all in
equilibrium, since the vertical projection of the body in opposite sides is the
same. The upper face of the body is subject to a vertical downward force
which is equal to the weight of the fluid above it, and the lower face is subject
to an upward force equal to the weight of real or imaginary liquid above it.
‘The net upward force acting on the body is the buoyems force.

‘STATICAL STABILITY OF FLOATING BODIES
A floating body is acted upon by two equal opposing forces. These are, the
body's weight W (acting at ils center of gravity) and its buoyant force BF
(acting at the center of buoyancy that is located at the center of gravity of the
displaced liquid).
When these forces are collinear as shown in Figure 3 - 10 (@), it floats in an
upright position. However, when the body tilts due to wind or wave action,
the center of buoyancy shifts to its new position as shown in Figure 3 - 10 (b)
and the two forces, which are no longer collinear, produces a couple equal to
W(q). The body will not overturn if this couple makes the body rotate towards
its original position as shown in Figure 3 - 10 (b), and will overturn if the
situation is as shown in Figure 3-10 (¢)
‘The point of intersection between the axis of the body and the line of action of
the buoyant force is called the mefacenfer. The distance from the metacenter
(M) to the center of gravity (G) of the body is called the metacentric height
(MG). It can be seen that a body is stable if M is above G as shown in Figure 3
= 10 (b), and unstable if M is below G as shown in Figure 3-10 (). IF M
coincides with G, the body is said to be just stable,
