i-xxiv_cengel_fm.indd xiii 12/20/12 10:30 AM This page intentionally left blank Preface BACKGROUND Fluid mechanics is an exciting and fascinating subject with unlimited practi- cal applications ranging from microscopic biological systems to automobiles, airplanes, and spacecraft propulsion. Fluid mechanics has also historically been one of the most challenging subjects for undergraduate students because proper analysis of fluid mechanics problems requires not only knowledge of the concepts but also physical intuition and experience. Our hope is that this book, through its careful explanations of concepts and its use of numer- ous practical examples, sketches, figures, and photographs, bridges the gap between knowledge and the proper application of that knowledge. Fluid mechanics is a mature subject; the basic equations and approxima- tions are well established and can be found in any introductory textbook. Our book is distinguished from other introductory books because we present the subject in a progressive order from simple to more difficult, building each chapter upon foundations laid down in earlier chapters. We provide more dia- grams and photographs that other books because fluid mechanics, is by its nature, a highly visual subject. Only by illustrating the concepts discussed, can students fully appreciate the mathematical significance of the material. OBJECTIVES This book has been written for the first fluid mechanics course for under- graduate engineering students. There is sufficient material for a two-course sequence, if desired. We assume that readers will have an adequate back- ground in calculus, physics, engineering mechanics, and thermodynamics. The objectives of this text are To present the basic principles and equations of fluid mechanics. To show numerous and diverse real-world engineering examples to give the student the intuition necessary for correct application of fluid mechanics principles in engineering applications. To develop an intuitive understanding of fluid mechanics by emphasiz- ing the physics, and reinforcing that understanding through illustrative figures and photographs. The book contains enough material to allow considerable flexibility in teach- ing the course. Aeronautics and aerospace engineers might emphasize poten- tial flow, drag and lift, compressible flow, turbomachinery, and CFD, while mechanical or civil engineering instructors might choose to emphasize pipe flows and open-channel flows, respectively. NEW TO THE THIRD EDITION In this edition, the overall content and order of presentation has not changed significantly except for the following: the visual impact of all figures and photographs has been enhanced by a full color treatment. We also added new i-xxiv_cengel_fm.indd xv 12/20/12 10:30 AM xvi FLUID MECHANICS photographs throughout the book, often replacing existing diagrams with pho- tographs in order to convey the practical real-life applications of the material. Several new Application Spotlights have been added to the end of selected chapters. These introduce students to industrial applications and exciting research projects being conducted by leaders in the field about material pre- sented in the chapter. We hope these motivate students to see the relevance and application of the materials they are studying. New sections on Biofluids have been added to Chapters 8 and 9, written by guest author Keefe Manning of The Pennsylvania State University, along with bio-related examples and homework problems in those chapters. New solved example problems were added to some chapters and several new end-of-chapter problems or modifications to existing problems were made to make them more versatile and practical. Most significant is the addi- tion of Fundamentals of Engineering (FE) exam-type problems to help students prepare to take their Professional Engineering exams. Finally, the end-of- chapter problems that require Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) have been moved to the text website (www.mhhe.com/cengel) where updates based on software or operating system changes can be better managed. PHILOSOPHY AND GOAL The Third Edition of Fluid Mechanics: Fundamentals and Applications has the same goals and philosophy as the other texts by lead author Yunus Çengel. Communicates directly with tomorrow’s engineers in a simple yet precise manner Leads students toward a clear understanding and firm grasp of the basic principles of fluid mechanics Encourages creative thinking and development of a deeper understand- ing and intuitive feel for fluid mechanics Is read by students with interest and enthusiasm rather than merely as a guide to solve homework problems The best way to learn is by practice. Special effort is made throughout the book to reinforce the material that was presented earlier (in each chapter as well as in material from previous chapters). Many of the illustrated example problems and end-of-chapter problems are comprehensive and encourage students to review and revisit concepts and intuitions gained previously. Throughout the book, we show examples generated by computational fluid dynamics (CFD). We also provide an introductory chapter on the subject. Our goal is not to teach the details about numerical algorithms associated with CFD—this is more properly presented in a separate course. Rather, our intent is to introduce undergraduate students to the capabilities and limitations of CFD as an engineering tool. We use CFD solutions in much the same way as experimental results are used from wind tunnel tests (i.e., to reinforce understanding of the physics of fluid flows and to provide quality flow visual- izations that help explain fluid behavior). With dozens of CFD end-of-chapter problems posted on the website, instructors have ample opportunity to intro- duce the basics of CFD throughout the course. i-xxiv_cengel_fm.indd xvi 12/20/12 10:30 AM xvii PREFACE CONTENT AND ORGANIZATION This book is organized into 15 chapters beginning with fundamental concepts of fluids, fluid properties, and fluid flows and ending with an introduction to computational fluid dynamics. Chapter 1 provides a basic introduction to fluids, classifications of fluid flow, control volume versus system formulations, dimensions, units, significant digits, and problem-solving techniques. Chapter 2 is devoted to fluid properties such as density, vapor pressure, specific heats, speed of sound, viscosity, and surface tension. Chapter 3 deals with fluid statics and pressure, including manometers and barometers, hydrostatic forces on submerged surfaces, buoyancy and stability, and fluids in rigid-body motion. Chapter 4 covers topics related to fluid kinematics, such as the differ- ences between Lagrangian and Eulerian descriptions of fluid flows, flow patterns, flow visualization, vorticity and rotationality, and the Reynolds transport theorem. Chapter 5 introduces the fundamental conservation laws of mass, momentum, and energy, with emphasis on the proper use of the mass, Bernoulli, and energy equations and the engineering applications of these equations. Chapter 6 applies the Reynolds transport theorem to linear momentum and angular momentum and emphasizes practical engineering applica- tions of finite control volume momentum analysis. Chapter 7 reinforces the concept of dimensional homogeneity and intro- duces the Buckingham Pi theorem of dimensional analysis, dynamic similarity, and the method of repeating variables—material that is useful throughout the rest of the book and in many disciplines in science and engineering. Chapter 8 is devoted to flow in pipes and ducts. We discuss the dif- ferences between laminar and turbulent flow, friction losses in pipes and ducts, and minor losses in piping networks. We also explain how to properly select a pump or fan to match a piping network. Finally, we discuss various experimental devices that are used to measure flow rate and velocity, and provide a brief introduction to biofluid mechanics. Chapter 9 deals with differential analysis of fluid flow and includes der- ivation and application of the continuity equation, the Cauchy equation, and the Navier-Stokes equation. We also introduce the stream function and describe its usefulness in analysis of fluid flows, and we provide a brief introduction to biofluids. Finally, we point out some of the unique aspects of differential analysis related to biofluid mechanics. Chapter 10 discusses several approximations of the Navier–Stokes equa- tion and provides example solutions for each approximation, including creeping flow, inviscid flow, irrotational (potential) flow, and boundary layers. Chapter 11 covers forces on bodies (drag and lift), explaining the distinction between friction and pressure drag, and providing drag i-xxiv_cengel_fm.indd xvii 12/20/12 10:30 AM xviii FLUID MECHANICS coefficients for many common geometries. This chapter emphasizes the practical application of wind tunnel measurements coupled with dynamic similarity and dimensional analysis concepts introduced earlier in Chapter 7. Chapter 12 extends fluid flow analysis to compressible flow, where the behavior of gases is greatly affected by the Mach number. In this chapter, the concepts of expansion waves, normal and oblique shock waves, and choked flow are introduced. Chapter 13 deals with open-channel flow and some of the unique fea- tures associated with the flow of liquids with a free surface, such as surface waves and hydraulic jumps. Chapter 14 examines turbomachinery in more detail, including pumps, fans, and turbines. An emphasis is placed on how pumps and turbines work, rather than on their detailed design. We also discuss overall pump and turbine design, based on dynamic similarity laws and simplified velocity vector analyses. Chapter 15 describes the fundamental concepts of computational fluid dyamics (CFD) and shows students how to use commercial CFD codes as tools to solve complex fluid mechanics problems. We emphasize the application of CFD rather than the algorithms used in CFD codes. Each chapter contains a wealth of end-of-chapter homework problems. Most of the problems that require calculation use the SI system of units, how- ever about 20 percent use English units. A comprehensive set of appendices is provided, giving the thermodynamic and fluid properties of several materials, in addition to air and water, along with some useful plots and tables. Many of the end-of-chapter problems require the use of material properties from the appendices to enhance the realism of the problems. LEARNING TOOLS EMPHASIS ON PHYSICS A distinctive feature of this book is its emphasis on the physical aspects of the subject matter in addition to mathematical representations and manipulations. The authors believe that the emphasis in undergraduate education should remain on developing a sense of underlying physical mechanisms and a mastery of solving practical problems that an engineer is likely to face in the real world. Developing an intuitive understanding should also make the course a more motivating and worthwhile experi- ence for the students. EFFECTIVE USE OF ASSOCIATION An observant mind should have no difficulty understanding engineering sciences. After all, the principles of engineering sciences are based on our everyday experiences and experimental observations. Therefore, a physi- cal, intuitive approach is used throughout this text. Frequently, parallels are drawn between the subject matter and students’ everyday experiences so that they can relate the subject matter to what they already know. i-xxiv_cengel_fm.indd xviii 12/20/12 10:30 AM xix PREFACE SELF-INSTRUCTING The material in the text is introduced at a level that an average student can follow comfortably. It speaks to students, not over students. In fact, it is self- instructive. Noting that the principles of science are based on experimental observations, most of the derivations in this text are largely based on physical arguments, and thus they are easy to follow and understand. EXTENSIVE USE OF ARTWORK AND PHOTOGRAPHS Figures are important learning tools that help the students “get the picture,” and the text makes effective use of graphics. It contains more figures, photo- graphs, and illustrations than any other book in this category. Figures attract attention and stimulate curiosity and interest. Most of the figures in this text are intended to serve as a means of emphasizing some key concepts that would otherwise go unnoticed; some serve as page summaries. CONSISTENT COLOR SCHEME FOR FIGURES The figures have a consistent color scheme applied for all arrows. Blue: ( ) motion related, like velocity vectors Green: ( ) force and pressure related, and torque Black: ( ) distance related arrows and dimensions Red: ( ) energy related, like heat and work Purple: ( ) acceleration and gravity vectors, vorticity, and miscellaneous NUMEROUS WORKED-OUT EXAMPLES All chapters contain numerous worked-out examples that both clarify the material and illustrate the use of basic principles in a context that helps devel- ops the student’s intuition. An intuitive and systematic approach is used in the solution of all example problems. The solution methodology starts with a statement of the problem, and all objectives are identified. The assumptions and approximations are then stated together with their justifications. Any properties needed to solve the problem are listed separately. Numerical values are used together with numbers to emphasize that without units, numbers are meaningless. The significance of each example’s result is discussed following the solution. This methodical approach is also followed and provided in the solutions to the end-of-chapter problems, available to instructors. A WEALTH OF REALISTIC END-OF-CHAPTER PROBLEMS The end-of-chapter problems are grouped under specific topics to make problem selection easier for both instructors and students. Within each group of problems are Concept Questions, indicated by “C,” to check the students’ level of understanding of basic concepts. Problems under Funda- mentals of Engineering (FE) Exam Problems are designed to help students prepare for the Fundamentals of Engineering exam, as they prepare for their Professional Engineering license. The problems under Review Problems are more comprehensive in nature and are not directly tied to any specific section of a chapter—in some cases they require review i-xxiv_cengel_fm.indd xix 12/20/12 10:30 AM xx FLUID MECHANICS of material learned in previous chapters. Problems designated as Design and Essay are intended to encourage students to make engineering judgments, to conduct independent exploration of topics of interest, and to communicate their findings in a professional manner. Problems designated by an “E” are in English units, and SI users can ignore them. Problems with the icon are solved using EES, and complete solutions together with paramet- ric studies are included the text website. Problems with the icon are com- prehensive in nature and are intended to be solved with a computer, prefer- ably using the EES software. Several economics- and safety-related problems are incorporated throughout to enhance cost and safety awareness among engineering students. Answers to selected problems are listed immediately following the problem for convenience to students. USE OF COMMON NOTATION The use of different notation for the same quantities in different engineering courses has long been a source of discontent and confusion. A student taking both fluid mechanics and heat transfer, for example, has to use the notation Q for volume flow rate in one course, and for heat transfer in the other. The need to unify notation in engineering education has often been raised, even in some reports of conferences sponsored by the National Science Foundation through Foundation Coalitions, but little effort has been made to date in this regard. For example, refer to the final report of the Mini-Conference on Energy Stem Innovations, May 28 and 29, 2003, University of Wisconsin. In this text we made a conscious effort to minimize this conflict by adopting the familiar thermodynamic notation V̇ for volume flow rate, thus reserving the notation Q for heat transfer. Also, we consistently use an overdot to denote time rate. We think that both students and instructors will appreciate this effort to pro- mote a common notation. A CHOICE OF SI ALONE OR SI/ENGLISH UNITS In recognition of the fact that English units are still widely used in some industries, both SI and English units are used in this text, with an emphasis on SI. The material in this text can be covered using combined SI/English units or SI units alone, depending on the preference of the instructor. The property tables and charts in the appendices are presented in both units, except the ones that involve dimensionless quantities. Problems, tables, and charts in English units are designated by “E” after the number for easy recognition, and they can be ignored easily by the SI users. COMBINED COVERAGE OF BERNOULLI AND ENERGY EQUATIONS The Bernoulli equation is one of the most frequently used equations in fluid mechanics, but it is also one of the most misused. Therefore, it is important to emphasize the limitations on the use of this idealized equation and to show how to properly account for imperfections and irreversible losses. In Chapter 5, we do this by introducing the energy equation right after the Bernoulli equation and demonstrating how the solutions of many practical engineering problems differ from those obtained using the Bernoulli equa- tion. This helps students develop a realistic view of the Bernoulli equation. i-xxiv_cengel_fm.indd xx 12/20/12 10:30 AM xxi PREFACE A SEPARATE CHAPTER ON CFD Commercial Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) codes are widely used in engineering practice in the design and analysis of flow systems, and it has become exceedingly important for engineers to have a solid understanding of the fundamental aspects, capabilities, and limitations of CFD. Recognizing that most undergraduate engineering curriculums do not have room for a full course on CFD, a separate chapter is included here to make up for this defi- ciency and to equip students with an adequate background on the strengths and weaknesses of CFD. APPLICATION SPOTLIGHTS Throughout the book are highlighted examples called Application Spotlights where a real-world application of fluid mechanics is shown. A unique fea- ture of these special examples is that they are written by guest authors. The Application Spotlights are designed to show students how fluid mechanics has diverse applications in a wide variety of fields. They also include eye- catching photographs from the guest authors’ research. GLOSSARY OF FLUID MECHANICS TERMS Throughout the chapters, when an important key term or concept is introduced and defined, it appears in black boldface type. Fundamental fluid mechanics terms and concepts appear in red boldface type, and these fundamental terms also appear in a comprehensive end-of-book glossary developed by Professor James Brasseur of The Pennsylvania State University. This unique glossary is an excellent learning and review tool for students as they move forward in their study of fluid mechanics. In addition, students can test their knowl- edge of these fundamental terms by using the interactive flash cards and other resources located on our accompanying website (www.mhhe.com/cengel). CONVERSION FACTORS Frequently used conversion factors, physical constants, and properties of air and water at 20°C and atmospheric pressure are listed on the front inner cover pages of the text for easy reference.

The branch of mechanics that deals with bodies at rest is called statics, while the branch that deals with bodies in motion is called dynamics. The subcategory fluid mechanics is defined as the science that deals with the behavior of fluids at rest (fluid statics) or in motion (fluid dynamics), and the interaction of fluids with solids or other fluids at the boundaries. Fluid mechanics is also referred to as fluid dynamics by considering fluids at rest as a special case of motion with zero velocity (Fig. 1–1). Fluid mechanics itself is also divided into several categories. The study of the motion of fluids that can be approximated as incompressible (such as liq- uids, especially water, and gases at low speeds) is usually referred to as hydro- dynamics. A subcategory of hydrodynamics is hydraulics, which deals with liquid flows in pipes and open channels. Gas dynamics deals with the flow of fluids that undergo significant density changes, such as the flow of gases through nozzles at high speeds. The category aerodynamics deals with the flow of gases (especially air) over bodies such as aircraft, rockets, and automo- biles at high or low speeds. Some other specialized categories such as meteo- rology, oceanography, and hydrology deal with naturally occurring flows. FIGURE 1–1 Fluid mechanics deals with liquids and gases in motion or at rest. What Is a Fluid? © D. Falconer/PhotoLink /Getty RF You will recall from physics that a substance exists in three primary phases: solid, liquid, and gas. (At very high temperatures, it also exists as plasma.) A substance in the liquid or gas phase is referred to as a fluid. Distinction between a solid and a fluid is made on the basis of the substance’s abil- ity to resist an applied shear (or tangential) stress that tends to change its shape. A solid can resist an applied shear stress by deforming, whereas a Contact area, Shear stress fluid deforms continuously under the influence of a shear stress, no matter A t = F/A how small. In solids, stress is proportional to strain, but in fluids, stress is Force, F proportional to strain rate. When a constant shear force is applied, a solid a eventually stops deforming at some fixed strain angle, whereas a fluid never Deformed rubber stops deforming and approaches a constant rate of strain. Consider a rectangular rubber block tightly placed between two plates. As Shear the upper plate is pulled with a force F while the lower plate is held fixed, strain, a the rubber block deforms, as shown in Fig. 1–2. The angle of deformation a (called the shear strain or angular displacement) increases in proportion to FIGURE 1–2 the applied force F. Assuming there is no slip between the rubber and the Deformation of a rubber block placed plates, the upper surface of the rubber is displaced by an amount equal to between two parallel plates under the the displacement of the upper plate while the lower surface remains station- influence of a shear force. The shear ary. In equilibrium, the net force acting on the upper plate in the horizontal stress shown is that on the rubber—an equal but opposite shear stress acts on direction must be zero, and thus a force equal and opposite to F must be the upper plate. acting on the plate. This opposing force that develops at the plate–rubber interface due to friction is expressed as F 5 tA, where t is the shear stress and A is the contact area between the upper plate and the rubber. When the force is removed, the rubber returns to its original position. This phenome- non would also be observed with other solids such as a steel block provided that the applied force does not exceed the elastic range. If this experiment were repeated with a fluid (with two large parallel plates placed in a large body of water, for example), the fluid layer in contact with the upper plate 001-036_cengel_ch01.indd 2 12/20/12 3:29 PM 3 CHAPTER 1 would move with the plate continuously at the velocity of the plate no mat- Normal ter how small the force F. The fluid velocity would decrease with depth to surface because of friction between fluid layers, reaching zero at the lower plate. Force acting You will recall from statics that stress is defined as force per unit area Fn F on area dA and is determined by dividing the force by the area upon which it acts. The normal component of a force acting on a surface per unit area is called the Tangent normal stress, and the tangential component of a force acting on a surface Ft to surface dA per unit area is called shear stress (Fig. 1–3). In a fluid at rest, the normal stress is called pressure. A fluid at rest is at a state of zero shear stress. Fn When the walls are removed or a liquid container is tilted, a shear develops Normal stress: s 5 dA as the liquid moves to re-establish a horizontal free surface.
