Study Notes
- Fluids cannot withstand static shear stress.
- Fluids respond to shear stress with an irrecoverable flow.
- Gases and liquids are examples of fluids.
- Fluid properties include viscosity, compressibility, surface tension, pressure, specific gravity, and density.
Viscosity
- Viscosity is a fluid’s resistance to deformation or flow.
- Fluids with high viscosity resist flow and deform slowly.
- Water has low viscosity
- Olive Oil has medium viscosity
- Honey has high viscosity
Compressibility
- Compressibility is when a fluid's volume decreases when pressure is applied
- The compressibility of a liquid is inversely related to its volume modulus of elasticity, also known as bulk modulus.
Surface Tension
- Surface tension is the tendency of a fluid at rest to shrink into the minimum surface area possible.
- Surface tension allows objects to float on the surface without submerging in the liquid.
- Intermolecular forces, such as Van der Waals force, draw the liquid particles together.
- Surface tension enables insects to walk on water.
- Surface tension enables needles to float.
- Surface tension is used in clinical tests for jaundice.
- Surface tension is a factor in respiration.
- Hydrogen surface tension is 2.4 N/m
- Helium surface tension 0.16 N/m
- Water tension is 0.072 N/m
- Ethanol surface tension is 22.0 N/m
- Sodium Chloride tension is 114 N/m
Phases of Matter
Solid
- Has a definite shape.
- Has a definite volume.
- Particles are very close.
- Has any number of surfaces
Liquid
- Does not have a definite shape unless it takes the shape of a container.
- Has a definite volume.
- Particles are neither too close nor too far from each other.
- Has one surface.
Gas
- Does not have a definite shape unless it takes the shape of a container.
- Has no definite volume; it can expand or compress.
- Particles are far apart.
- Has no surfaces.
Density and Buoyancy Sample Question
- If a substance has a density of 2.0g/cm^3, substances with higher densities will sink in it
- Example: Gold with a density of 20g/cm^3 will sink
- Example: Silver with a density of 10g/cm^3 will sink
- Example: A substance with a density of 0.2g/cm^3 will float
Specific Gravity
- Specific gravity is also known as relative density.
- Specific gravity measures the density of a substance in comparison to the density of water.
- The formula for Relative Density is mass of any volume of substance/mass of an equal volume of water
- Relative Density of Steel is 7.8
- Relative Density of Wood is 0.5
Pressure
- Pressure is the magnitude of force acting perpendicular to a surface divided by the area of the surface.
- Pressure is a scalar quantity.
- The formula for pressure is Force/Area.
- 1 atmosphere (atm) is equal to 1.00 atm (exact)
- 1 atmosphere (atm) is equal to 760 mmHg (millimeters of mercury).
- 1 atmosphere (atm) is equal to 760 torr.
- 1 atmosphere (atm) is equal to 29.9 in. Hg (inches of mercury).
- 1 atmosphere (atm) is equal to 14.7 lb/in.2 (pounds per square inch (psi)).
- 1 atmosphere (atm) is equal to 101,325 Pa (Pascals).
- High heeled shoes exert higher pressure on the ground because the weight is spread over a smaller area.
- Flat shoes exert lower pressure on the ground because the weight is spread over a larger area.
Hydrostatic Pressure
- Hydrostatic pressure is the force per unit area that a confined fluid exerts on all parts of the container in contact with it or on any object immersed in the fluid.
- Forces exerted by the fluid are perpendicular to the walls of the container.
- Pressure at any point is the same in all directions and is the same at all points on the same level in a container.
- Hydrostatic pressure increases with depth.
- Earth's atmosphere exerts pressure over the entire surface.
- Atmospheric pressure at sea level is equal to 1.013 or 1 atmosphere (atm).
- Air is not impressible and therefore its density is not constant.
- Air density decreases with altitude.
- Formula for Air density decrease with altitude P=Poe-0.125h
Pascal's Principle
- Pressure applied to an enclosed fluid is transmitted undiminished to every point in the fluid and to the walls of the container.
Archimedes Principle and Buoyancy
- An object immersed in water or in any fluid experiences a higher pressure on the lower surface than on the upper surface.
- Buoyant force is this difference in pressure, leading to an upward force acting on the object due to fluid pressure.
- Upward buoyant force = Weight of the water displaced
Principle Floatation
- If Buoyant force = weight the object floats and is stationary
- If Buoyant force > weight the object moves up
- If Buoyant force < weight the object sinks
- The formula for determining whether an object will float is Submerged volume/Total volume = Density of object/Density of liquid
Hydrodynamics
- Hydrodynamics is the study of fluids in motion.
- Ideal fluids are incompressible, so neither density nor volume changes with pressure.
- Real fluids are very much compressible
- Newtonian fluid is a fluid with an independent viscosity to the shear rate, e.g. blood, synovial fluid, mucus
- Laminar flow is streamline flow
- Turbulent flow is not streamline
- Turbulent is a higher pressure difference than Laminar
Continuity Equation
- Describes the flow of a fluid through a tube with varying cross-sectional area.
- A₁V₁ = A2V2, where A is the cross-sectional area of the tube and v is the velocity of the fluid.
- Av is the volume flow rate, which remains constant.
- Velocity is proportional to area.
- The Bernoulli Equation states Energy per unit volume before = Energy per unit volume after.
- P + 1/2ρv² + pgh₁=P2 + 1/2ρv2² + pgh₂, where P=Pressure Kinetic Energy per unit volume
- Potential Energy per unit volume.
- The Bernoulli Equation shows the reduction in fluid pressure that results when a fluid flows through a constricted section of pipe
