Continuum Concept of a Fluid

The number of molecules involved is immense, and the separation between them is normally negligible by comparison with the distances involved in the practical situation being studied Although the properties of a fluid arise from its molecular structure,engineering problem are usually concerned with the bulk behavior of fluids Under these conditions, it is usual to consider a fluid as a continuum - a hypothetical continuous substance and the conditions at a point as the average of a very large number of molecules surrounding that point within a distance which is large compared with the mean intermolecular distance

Density

Density is defined as mass per unit volume =m (kg/m3) V Specific volume is defined as volume per unit mass v = V = 1 (m3/kg) m Density of a substance, in general depends on temperature and pressure

SME 1313 Fluid Mechanics I

Specific Gravity

Specific gravity or relative density is defined as the ratio of the density of a substance to the density of some standard substance at a specified temperature (usually water at 4oC, for which H O=1000 kg/m3) SG = H2O

Density of Ideal Gas

Ideal gas equation

Pv = RT or P = RT

Where, P = absolute pressure v = specific volume T = thermodynamic (absolute temperature) T(K) = T(oC) + 273.15 = gas density R = gas constant

Vapor Pressure and Cavitation

Saturation temperature, Tsat the temperature at which a pure substance changes phase at a given pressure Saturation pressure, Psat the pressure at which a pure substance changes phase at a given temperature Vapor pressure, Pv of a pure substance the pressure exerted by its vapor in phase equilibrium with its liquid at a given temperature Partial pressure the pressure of a gas or vapor in a mixture with other gases
SME 1313 Fluid Mechanics I

Vapor Pressure and Cavitation

Possibility of the liquid pressure in liquid-flow system dropping below the vapor pressure at some location, and resulting unplanned vaporization A fluid vaporizes when its pressure gets too low, or its temperature too high. All centrifugal pumps have a required head (pressure) at the suction side of the pump to prevent this vaporization. Suction cavitation occurs when the pump suction is under a low pressure/high vacuum condition where the liquid turns into a vapor at the eye of the pump impeller. Cavitation must be avoided in flow systems since it reduces performance, generates vibration and noise and causes damage to the equipment

Energy and Specific Heat

SME 1313 Fluid Mechanics I

Energy and Specific Heat

For ideal gas, the internal energy and enthalpy can be expressed in terms of specific heat u = cv,ave T and h = cp,ave T Where, cv,ave = average specific heat at constant volume cp,ave = average specific heat at constant pressure For incompressible substance, h = u + P/ cave T + P/

Coefficient of Compressibility

Coefficient of compressibility (also called the bulk modulus of compressibility or bulk modulus of elasticity) for fluids as (Pa) = - v P = P T V T In term of finite changes - P P (T=constant) v/v / Large , a large change in pressure is needed to cause a small fractional change in volume (incompressible e.g liquids)
SME 1313 Fluid Mechanics I

Coefficient of Compressibility

For an ideal gas, P = RT and (P/ )T = RT = P/ And thus, (Pa) ideal gas = P Coefficient of compressibility of an ideal gas is equal to its absolute pressure and it increases with increasing pressure Substituting = P into definition of the coefficient of compressibility and rearranging gives = P (T=constant) P The percent increase of density of an ideal gas during isothermal compression is equal to the percent increase in pressure
SME 1313 Fluid Mechanics I

Isothermal Compressibility

Isothermal compressibility is the inverse of the coefficient of compressibility = 1 = - 1 V = 1 (1/Pa) v P T P T Isothermal compressibility of fluid represents the fractional change in volume or density corresponding to a unit change in pressure

SME 1313 Fluid Mechanics I

Coefficient of Volume Expansion

The combined effects of pressure and temperature changes on volume change of a fluid can be determined by taking the specific volume to be a function of T and P Differentiating v=v(T,P) and using the definitions of compression and expansion coefficient and give dv = v dT + v dP =( dT dP) v T P P P The fractional change in volume (or density) due to changes in pressure and temperature can be expressed approximately as v = - T - P v SME 1313 Fluid Mechanics I

Viscosity

A constant parallel force F is applied to the upper plate, the lower plate is held fixed The upper plate moves continuously at constant velocity under the influence of F The shear stress acting on the fluid layer is
F = A

Where, A=contact area between the plate and the fluid

SME 1313 Fluid Mechanics I

Viscosity

Fluid in contact with lower plate has zero velocity (no-slip condition) In steady laminar flow, the fluid velocity between the plates varies linearly between 0 and V, and thus the velocity profile and the velocity gradient are

y u( y) = V l
Where,

and

du V = dy l

y=vertical distance from lower plate

SME 1313 Fluid Mechanics I

Viscosity

The angular displacement or deformation (or shear strain) can be expressed as

da dt du dt d tan = =V = l l dy

Rearranging, the rate of deformation

d du = dt dy

SME 1313 Fluid Mechanics I

Viscosity

The rate of deformation of a fluid element is equivalent to the velocity gradient du/dy Fluids rate of deformation (and thus the velocity gradient) is directly to the shear stress

SME 1313 Fluid Mechanics I

Viscosity

Viscosity is due to the internal frictional force that develops between different layers of fluids as they are forced to move relative to each other Gases

Viscosity is caused by molecular collisions Viscosity of gas increases with temperature

In a gas, molecular forces are negligible and the gas molecules at high temperatures move randomly at higher velocities This results in more molecular collisions per unit volume per unit time, thus greater resistance to flow
SME 1313 Fluid Mechanics I

Viscosity of Gas

Viscosity of gases is expressed as function by the Sutherland correlation

Where, T=absolute temperature (K) a and b = experimentally determined constants

SME 1313 Fluid Mechanics I

Viscosity of Liquid

Liquids

Viscosity is due to the cohesive forces between the molecules At higher temperatures, molecules posses more energy, and they can oppose the large cohesive intermolecular forces more strongly The liquid viscosity is approximated as

= a10 b /(T c )
Where, T=absolute temperature (K) a, b and c = experimentally determined constants

Example 2-4 Determining the Viscosity of a Fluid

The viscosity of a fluid is to be measured by viscometer constructed of two 40-cm-long concentric cylinders (Fig. 218).the outer diameter of the inner cylinder is 12 cm, and the gap between the two cylinders is 0.15 cm. The inner cylinder is rotated at 300 rpm, and the torque is measured to be 1.8 N.m. Determine the viscosity of the fluid
SOLUTION The torque and the rpm of a double cylinder viscometer are given. The viscosity of the fluid is to be determined Assumptions 1) The inner cylinder is completely submerged in oil 2) The viscous effects on the two ends of the inner cylinder are negligible Analysis The velocity profile is linear only when the curvature effects are negligible, and the profile can be approximated as being linear in this case since l/R<<1

Surface Tension

Liquid droplets behave like small spherical balloons filled with the liquid, and the surface of the liquid acts like a stretched elastic membrane under tension. The pulling forces that causes this tensions acts parallel to the surface and is due to the attractive forces between the molecules of the liquid.

Surface Tension

The magnitude of the force per unit length is called surface tension, s (N/m)

Capillary Effect

Capillary effect is the rise or fall of a liquid in a smalldiameter tube inserted into liquid Capillaries is a narrow tubes or confined flow channels The curved free surface of a liquid in a capillary tube is called meniscus

b) Nonwetting fluid

SME 1313 Fluid Mechanics I

Capillary Effect

Contact (or wetting) angle , is defined as the angle that the tangent to the liquid surface makes with the solid surface at the point of contact

<90o >90o

The liquid is to wet the surface The liquid is not to wet the surface

Cohesive forces is forces between like molecules (water-water), adhesive forces is forces between unlike molecules (water-glass). Water molecules are more strongly attracted to the glass molecules than they are to other water molecules, and thus water tends to rise along the glass surface
