Study Notes
Fluid Dynamics
- Fluid Dynamics deals with the study of fluids in motion, explaining phenomena like smoke rising, water flow from a hose, and blood circulation.
- Flow Rate (Q) is the volume of fluid passing a location per unit time:
- Formula: Q = V/t (where V is volume and t is time)
- SI Unit: m³/s
- Flow Rate & Velocity:
- Flow rate is proportional to the velocity of the fluid.
- Flow rate also depends on the cross-sectional area of the flow channel.
- Equation of Continuity states that for an incompressible fluid, the product of the cross-sectional area (A) and velocity (v) is constant along a flow path:
- Formula: A₁v₁ = A₂v₂
- This means velocity increases when area decreases, and vice versa.
- Power in Fluid Flow:
- Power is the rate of energy usage or supply.
- In fluid flow, power can be determined by multiplying the Bernoulli's equation by flow rate (Q).
- Formula: (P + ½ρv² + ρgh)Q = Power
- Viscosity is a measure of fluid friction, both within the fluid and with surroundings.
- High viscosity fluids (e.g., syrup) flow slowly, while low viscosity fluids (e.g., juice) flow quickly.
- Viscosity is related to laminar and turbulent flow.
- Laminar Flow:
- Smooth, layered flow with no mixing between layers.
- Streamlines are smooth and continuous.
- Turbulent Flow:
- Characterized by eddies and swirls, mixing fluid layers.
- Streamlines are disrupted and mix.
- Causes include obstructions/sharp corners and high fluid speeds.
- Bernoulli's Equation describes the relationship between pressure, velocity, and height in an incompressible, frictionless fluid:
- Formula: P₁ + ½ρv₁² + ρgh₁ = P₂ + ½ρv₂² + ρgh₂
- Each term has units of energy per unit volume.
- Can be applied to understand pressure changes in fluids due to velocity and height changes.
Assumptions for Bernoulli's Equation
- The fluid must be incompressible.
- The fluid must have no viscosity (i.e., no internal friction).
Applications of Bernoulli's Equation
- Venturi Effect: Reduced pressure in a constricted flow area.
- Lift on an Airplane Wing: Higher velocity airflow over the curved upper surface creates lower pressure, generating lift.
Introduction
- Fluid dynamics studies the motion of fluids, including liquids and gases.
- Examples of fluid dynamics in action include rising smoke curling and twisting, water speeding up through a nozzle, and the body regulating blood flow.
Flow Rate
- Flow rate (Q) is the volume of fluid passing a point in a given time.
- The formula for flow rate is Q = V/t, where V is volume and t is time.
- The SI unit for flow rate is m3/s, but other units are commonly used.
- Flow rate is also calculated as Q = Av, where A is the cross-sectional area and v is the average velocity.
- The equation of continuity states that for an incompressible fluid flowing through a pipe of changing radius, the flow rate remains constant.
- This means that as the cross-sectional area decreases, the velocity of the fluid increases to maintain a constant flow rate.
Bernoulli's Principle
- Bernoulli's Equation states that the total energy of a fluid is constant along a streamline.
- For fluids at constant depth, Bernoulli's equation simplifies to: P1 + (1/2) ρv1^2 = P2 + (1/2) ρv2^2, where P is pressure, ρ is density, and v is velocity.
- Bernoulli's Principle explains how a high-velocity fluid creates low pressure, which can be used to entrain other fluids.
- Examples of entrainment devices include: Bunsen burners, atomizers, aspirators, and chimney designs.
Torricelli's Theorem
- Torricelli's Theorem relates the velocity of a fluid exiting an opening in a container to the height of the fluid above the opening.
- The formula for Torricelli's Theorem is v^2 = v^2 + 2gh, where h is the height difference and g is the acceleration due to gravity.
Power in Fluid Flow
- Power in fluid flow can be calculated by multiplying Bernoulli's Equation by the flow rate Q.
- The formula is: (P + (1/2) ρv^2 + ρgh)Q = Power.
Viscosity and Laminar Flow
- Viscosity is the measure of a fluid's resistance to flow.
- Laminar flow is a smooth flow of fluid in layers that do not mix.
- Turbulent flow characterized by eddies and swirls that mix fluid layers.
- Viscosity can be calculated as: η = (FL)/(vA), where F is the force, L is the distance, v is velocity, and A is the area.
- Poiseuille's Law describes the resistance (R) to laminar flow in a horizontal tube: R = 8ηl/(πr^4), where η is viscosity, l is length, and r is radius.
Reynolds Number
- The Reynolds number helps predict whether a moving object will create turbulence.
- For an object moving in a fluid: N' = (ρvL)/η , where ρ is density, v is velocity, L is a characteristic length, and η is viscosity.
Viscous Drag
- Viscous drag (Fv) is the force that opposes an object's movement in a fluid.
- For a small sphere moving slowly in a fluid: Fv = 6πRηv, where R is the radius and v is the velocity.
- Terminal speed is the constant speed reached when the viscous drag force balances the gravitational force acting on a falling object.
Molecular Transport Phenomena
- Diffusion is the movement of substances due to random thermal motion of molecules.
- Diffusion is slow over macroscopic distances because molecules collide frequently, scattering them in random directions.
- The average distance a molecule travels during diffusion is proportional to the square root of time: x = (2Dt)^0.5, where D is the diffusion coefficient.
- Osmosis is the transport of water through a semipermeable membrane from a region of high concentration to a region of low concentration, driven by the water concentration difference.
- Dialysis is the transport of any molecule across a semipermeable membrane due to its concentration difference.
- Both osmosis and dialysis are used by the kidneys to cleanse the blood.
