Study Notes
Bernoulli's Principle and Equation
- Bernoulli's Principle: the pressure in a fluid decreases with increased velocity of the fluid
- Bernoulli's Equation: P1 + ½rv12 + rgy1 = P2 + ½rv22 + rgy2
- Continuity Equation: m1 = m2, r1A1v1 = r2A2v2 for an incompressible fluid, where Q = A1v1 = volumetric flow rate
Fluid Mechanics
- Definition: substances that yield readily to any force that alters its shape and therefore flows
- Types: liquids or gases
- Kinds of Fluid Mechanics:
- Hydrostatics: for fluids at rest
- Fluid Kinematics: for fluids in motion
Archimedes' Principle
- Any fluid applies buoyant force to an object that is partially or completely immersed in it
- Buoyant Force (BF): force equal to the weight of the fluid that the object displaces
- BF = rVg, where r = density of fluid and V = volume of object
- Conditions for sinking, floating, or remaining at a level:
- weight of submerged object > BF, object will sink
- weight of submerged object = BF, object will remain at a level
- weight of submerged object < BF, object will float to the surface
Principle of Flotation
- A floating object displaces a weight of fluid equal to its own weight
Pascal's Principle
- The pressure applied to a fluid confined in a container is transmitted undiminished throughout the fluid and acts in all directions
- Hydraulic Jack: an application of Pascal's Principle
