Study Notes
Fluid Mechanics Principles
- Fluid mechanics is the science of forces acting on fluids (liquids and gases), in motion or at rest
- Fluid statics is the study of fluids at rest, where pressure forces aren't considered
- Fluid kinematics is the study of fluids in motion, neglecting pressure forces
- Fluid dynamics is the study of fluids in motion, considering pressure forces
Matter Classification
- Matter exists in two states: solid and fluid
- This classification is based on the spacing between molecules and the behavior under stress
- Solids have closely packed molecules, resulting in rigidity and fixed form
- Fluids (liquids and gases) have molecules that move freely, lacking rigidity and fixed form
Fluid Properties
- Mass: The amount of matter
- Density: Mass per unit volume (kg/m³)
- Specific Weight/Weight Density: Weight per unit volume (N/m³). Water at 20°C has a specific weight of 9.79 kN/m³.
- Specific Volume: Volume occupied by a unit mass (m³/kg)
- Specific Gravity (S): Ratio of specific weight of a fluid to the specific weight of water at 4°C. The specific weight of water at atmospheric pressure is 9810 N/m³.
-
Viscosity: Resistance to flow between adjacent layers of a fluid.
- High viscosity: slow flow (honey)
- Low viscosity: fast flow (water)
- Surface Tension: Tendency of liquid surfaces to shrink into the minimum surface area.
- Vapor Pressure: Pressure exerted by the vapor of a liquid in equilibrium with its liquid phase
- Capillarity: Ability of a liquid to flow in narrow spaces without the assistance of, or in opposition to, external forces like gravity.
- Cavitation: Formation of vapor cavities (bubbles) within a liquid when under pressure.
Viscosity
- Viscosity varies based on temperature and fluid type (liquid vs. gas).
- Liquids: Viscosity typically decreases with increasing temperature.
- Gases: Viscosity typically increases with increasing temperature due to increased collisions between molecules
- Laminar flow refers to smooth, layer-by-layer fluid flow
- Turbulent flow refers to irregular and chaotic fluid flow when moving at higher velocities
Bernoulli's Principle
- In a horizontal fluid flow, higher fluid speed corresponds to lower pressure.
- Bernoulli's equation: describes the relationship between fluid pressure, velocity, and elevation in a steady flow. The equation is P + ρv²/2 + ρgh = constant (along a streamline)
Venturi Effect
- Increase in fluid speed results in a decrease in internal pressure. The Venturi effect is used in various applications, from household plumbing to wind-induced building design.
Practical Applications
- Plumbing systems use the principles of fluid mechanics to prevent sewer gases from entering houses. The U-shaped trap in sinks and drains is an example of this.
- Fluid flow design affects the performance of pumps and other equipment and the flow behavior of pipes
- Correct design factors in for fluid flow can increase efficiency in various systems. For example, the design of pipes and channels can affect the flow behavior influencing the performance of pumps and other systems.
Sound Characteristics
- Room acoustics deals with controlling sound within enclosed spaces. The best conditions for sound (e.g., speech and music) need to be considered.
- Acoustic requirements depend on space type and purpose.
