FLUID FLOW FLUID  a substance with particles that can move easily and change their relative positions without separating the mass. TYPES OF DRAINAGE SYSTEM IN BUILDINGS  Liquids and gases 1. SURFACE DRAINAGE SYSTEM Surface drainage is the simplest and most CLASSIFICATION OF FLUID (based on the study of fluids) economical type of drainage system, as it relies on the 1.

FLUIDS DYNAMICS into storm sewers or bigger bodies of water. It involves the study of the flow of fluids in motion. 2. SUBSURFACE DRAINAGE SYSTEM Popular branches aerodynamics and hydrodynamics are part Subsurface drainage is the opposite of surface of fluid dynamics. drainage, as it collects and removes water from below the ground level. Subsurface drains are placed beneath the top TYPES OF FLUID layer of soil to remove excess water at the root level. 1.

This type of fluid cannot exist practically. 3. SLOPE DRAINAGE SYSTEM 2. REAL FLUID Slope drains allow water to flow downward from a All types of fluids that possess viscosity are classified structure with the aid of pipes moving down a slope. A pipe is as real fluids. Examples: Kerosene and castor oil. installed and anchored into a small incline, which causes water to flow through the pipe and away from the structure. 4. DOWNSPOUT AND GUTTER SYSTEM Downspouts collect water from gutters and divert it to the ground. A downspout is typically connected to a gutter system on a building and carries water away from the roof down to the ground. Sometimes they are even connected to an underground sewer line using gutter drains or “underground drains”. MADE BY JINRIE ENGINEERING UTILITIES 2 3. NEWTONIAN FLUID 3.

ROTATIONAL OR IRROTATIONAL If the angle between the two intersecting lines of FLUID FLOW the boundary of the fluid element changes while moving in Refers to the movement of these fluid particles from the flow, the flow is a rotational flow. Depending on the one point to another. angular motion of the fluid, it is classified into rotational fluid Example: Water Flow in a Riverbed, Hot water in Central or irrotational fluid. Heating Systems, Convection Currents If the fluid rotates as a whole with no change in angles between the boundary lines, the flow of the fluid is VISCOSITY classified as irrotational flow. Viscosity is a measure of a fluid’s resistance to flow. 6. UNIFORM FLOW It can be thought of as the internal friction within a fluid that Type of fluid flow in which the velocity of the flow at any opposes its motion. In simpler terms, viscosity describes how given time does not change with respect to space (along the “thick”or “sticky”a fluid is. For instance, honey has a higher length of direction of flow) viscosity compared to water because it flows More slowly 7. NON-UNIFORM FLOW due to its higher internal friction. Type of fluid flow in which the velocity of the flow at any given time changes with respect to space. NEWTON’S LAW OF VISCOSITY 8. LAMINAR FLOW  Newton described how normal liquids or fluids behave, Type of flow in which the fluid particles move along a well- and he observed that they have a constant viscosity defined streamline or paths, such that all the streamlines are (flow). straight and parallel to each other.

The flow is laminar when  Water vs. Porridge: Water flows easily because it has the Reynolds number up to 2000. low viscosity, while porridge, being thicker and denser, 9. TURBULENT FLOW has high viscosity and flows more slowly. Type of flow in which the fluid particles move in a zig-zag  Oil vs. Water. Similarly, oil has a higher viscosity manner. The movement in zig-zag manner results in high compared to water due to its greater internal friction. turbulence and eddies are formed. This results in high energy loss. Reynolds number is greater than 4000. *Laminar and Turbulent flow in a pipe flow is characterized based on Reynold number. *A fluid flow in a pipe, that has a Reynolds number between 2000 and 4000 is said to be in transition state. CLASSIFICATION OF FLUID FLOW 1. STEADY FLUID It is the fluid whose velocity, density and pressure remains constant at each and every point while flowing. 2. UNSTEADY FLUID It is the fluid whose velocity, density and pressure differs between any two points while flowing. MADE BY JINRIE ENGINEERING UTILITIES 2 10. ONE DIMENSIONAL FLUID FLOW A fluid flow in which, the flow parameter such as velocity is expressed as a function of time and one space coordinates. 11. TWO-DIMENSIONAL FLOW A type of flow in which the velocity is a function of time and two rectangular space co-ordinates. The velocity of flow along the third direction is considered negligible. 12. THREE DIMENSIONAL FLOW The type flow in which the velocity is a function of time and three mutually perpendicular rectangular space coordinates (x, y and z) APPLICATION OF FLUID FLOW  DYNAMIC LIFT Fluid flow around airplane wings creates lift, essential for flight.  SPRAY GUNS Ensure even dispersion of liquids or paints.  BUNSEN BURNER Controls flame size and heat using fluid flow. PROPERTIES OF FLUIDS PASCAL’S PRINCIPLE Pascal’s principle states that the pressure applied to an enclosed fluid is transmitted to every portion of the fluid and the walls of the containing vessel. Mathematically, ARCHIMEDES’ PRINCIPLE AND BUOYANCY Archimedes’ Principle states that when a body i s completely or partially immersed in a fluid, the fluid exerts an upward force on the body. Buoyant force i s the upward force exerted by a fluid. MADE BY JINRIE ENGINEERING UTILITIES 2 CONTINUITY EQUATION BERNOULLI’S EQUATION AND TORRICELLI’S THEOREM The relationshi p between flui d speed, pressure, and elevation was first derived in 1738 by the Swiss physicist Daniel Bernoulli. Bernoulli ’s equation relates pressure, flow of velocity and height for flow of an ideal fluid. Torricelli ’s Theorem is a special case of Bernoulli ’s Equation. Torricelli ’s Theorem states that the speed of efflux of a liquid from an opening in a reservoir equals the speed that the liquid would acquire if allowed to fall from rest from the surface of the reservoir to the opening. For small openings, the flow of the liquid is given by MADE BY JINRIE
