Fluid Mechanics
Introduction
Fluid mechanics: the branch of physics (or applied mechanics) which isconcerned with the behavior offluids at restor in motion.
Both liquids and gases are fluids.
Fluid mechanics rinci les and conce ts are often involved in the stud andanalysis of thermal systems
This field includes many problems: blood flow in the capillaries, flow of airaround an airplane, flow of crude oil in oil pipelines, etc.
Fluid mechanics is divided into: fluid statics (studying fluids at rest) andfluid dynamics (studying fluids in motion).
Fluid Statics
Thermo-fluid Engineering (MEC 2920) 1
The only forces of interest are due to the pressure acting on the surfaces of afluid element and the weight of the fluid element.
Investigation of pressure and its variation throughout a fluid at rest, and the
effect of pressure on submerged or partially submerged surfaces.
Fluid Statics
Pressure Variation in a Fluid at Rest
Pressure: the normal force per unit area at a given point acting on a givenplane within a fluid mass of interest.
Consider a small, stationary element of fluid at some arbitrary position withina mass of fluid
There are two types of forces acting on this element:
surface forces due to the pressure, and
body force equal to the weight of the element, which can be written as

From the equilibrium of the fluid element,
Therefore, we obtain

Measurement of Pressure
absolute pressure or gage pressure.
Absolute pressure is measured relative to absolute zero pressure (+).
Gage pressure is measured relative to the local atmospheric pressure (+/).
Fluid Statics
.
Thermodynamic analyses use absolute pressure.
However, most fluid mechanics analyses use gage pressure for convenience
Thermo-fluid Engineering (MEC 2920) 9
Fluid Statics
The measurement of atmospheric pressure is usually accomplished with a
mercury barometer

Manometry
A standard technique for measuring pressure which uses liquid columns invertical or inclined tubes.
Pressure measuring devices based on this technique are called manometers.
The mercury barometer is an example of one type of manometer
Fluid Statics
Two other common types of manometers include thepiezometertube and theU-tube manometer.
Piezometer Tube Simplest type of manometer consisting of a vertical tube, open at the top, and
attached to a container in which the pressure is to be measured
Thermo-fluid Engineering (MEC 2920) 11
Absolute pressure
Gauge pressure
Disadv.: p1 must be greater than p0 , p1-p0 should be small, fluid must be liquid
U-Tube Manometer
To overcome the difficulties associated with piezometer, another type ofmanometer that is widely used consists of a tube formed into the shape of a U
The fluid in the manometer is called thegage fluid.

The U-tube manometer is also widely used to measure the difference inpressure between two containers or two points in a given system.

Specific Gravity
The specific weight, , of a liquid such as the gage fluid is often expressed in termsof the specific gravity, SG, by the following relationship (water = 1000 kg/m

Fluid Statics
Mechanical and Electronic Pressure Measuring Devices
Manometers are suitable to measure very high, or rapidly changing pressures.
They, also, require the measurement of one or more column heights.
Numerous other pressure-measuring instruments have been developed.
structure will deform. This deformation is related to magnitude of pressure.
Bourdon Pressure Gage
The most common type of its type.
The essential mechanical element in this gage is bourdon tube.
As the pressure within the tube increases, the tube tends to straighten
This can be translated into the motion of a pointer on a dial.
The indicated pressure is gage pressure, which can be positive or negative.

Pressure Transducer
For many applications in which pressure measurements are recorded, the pressuremust be measured with a device that converts pressure into an electrical output.
This type of pressure measuring device is called apressure transducer
Many different designs exists.

Hydrostatic Force on a Horizontal Plane Surface
If a surface is submerged in a fluid, forces acts on the surface due to the fluid.
Determining these forces is important to design many hydraulic structures.
In fluids at rest, the force must beperpendicularto the surface.

Vertical submerged surface pressure is not uniform p = h

A submerged surface of arbitrary shape makes an angle with the free surface.

Fluid Statics
The point through which the resultant force acts is called thecenter of pressure
The y-coordinate of the resultant force, yR, can be determined by summation ofmoments around the x-axis. That is

Buoyancy
When a body is completely or partially submerged in a fluid, the resultant
fluid force acting on the body is called the buoyant force.
A net upward vertical force results from the pressure increase with depth
Pressure forces actin from below are lar er than those from above.
From elementary physics, the buoyant force is given by
Example:
The buoyant force has a magnitude equal to the weight of the fluid displacedby the body, and is directed vertically upward[Archimedes Principle]
