Study Notes
Fluid Mechanics: Pascal's Law
- Pascal's Law: A force (F) on a stationary liquid creates equal pressure (P) in all directions. Pressure is perpendicular to the liquid's boundary surface. P = F/S (N/m² = Pa).
- Pascal's Law dimensions: [P] = [M¹L⁻¹T⁻²]
- All liquid force and pressure processes are based on this law.
Hydrostatics: Fundamental Theorem
- Fundamental Theorem of Hydrostatics: In a fluid at equilibrium, the pressure (P) plus the gravity pressure (ρgZ) is constant at any point (ρ = density, g = gravitational acceleration, Z = level). P + ρgZ = Constant
- This implies that pressure is uniform across a horizontal plane in a static fluid at equilibrium.
Hemodynamics: Bernoulli's Theorem
- Bernoulli's Theorem for Ideal Fluids: In an ideal fluid, the sum of static pressure (P), dynamic pressure (1/2ρV²), and gravity pressure (ρgZ) is constant at every point. P + ½ρV² + ρgZ = C (C is a constant)
- Bernoulli's Theorem and Hydrostatics: If velocity (v) = 0 (static fluid), Bernoulli's equation simplifies to P + ρgZ = Constant, demonstrating that it's applicable to hydrostatic fluids.
- Understanding pressure changes: A decrease in altitude results in a decrease in potential energy, an increase in passage section leads to reduced kinetic energy increase, causing the pressure to increase to maintain a constant total energy.
Equation of Continuity
- Equation of Continuity: In a fluid flow, the volume flow rate (D or Q) is constant. D = Sv (S = cross-sectional area, v = velocity)
- Variable cross-sections: If the cross-sectional area (S) increases, velocity (v) decreases; if S decreases, v increases.
Exercises: Applications of Principles
- Exercise 1 (Pascal's Law): A hydraulic system with pistons of different areas demonstrates the application of Pascal's principle (force amplification).
- Exercise 2 (Continuity Equation): Calculates the output velocity (VB) given the input velocity (VA) and areas (SA and SB) using the continuity equation.
- Exercise 3 (Continuity Equation): Calculates VB for different scenarios with varying cross-sectional areas.
- Exercise 4 (Continuity Equation): Determines a tube output radius (RB) to achieve a target velocity (VB) given an input velocity (VA) and radius (RA).
- Exercise 5 (Bernoulli's Equation): Calculates relevant parameters in a system involving blood flow through vessels of different cross-sectional areas using Bernoulli's equation.
