As such when a certain mass of fluid is held in static equilibrium by confining it within solid boundaries, it exerts forces against the boundary sur- faces. The forces so exerted always actin the direction normal tothe surface in contact. Fluid does not offer any resistance to distortion of its form: it deforms under the slightest pressure. Fluids are generally classified as liquids and gases. Some classifications include vapour also as ‘lass of fluid. Typical examples ofthe three classes of fluids are water (liquid), air (gas) and steam (vapour). Liquid isa fuid which occupies a definite volume independent ofthe size or shape ofthe vessel in which itis contained. Liquids are highly resistant to compression, Water, the most common liquid, is generally regarded as an incompressible uid for common engineering analysis (except where very accurate work is required or high pressure is involved). Gas isa fiuid which tends to expand t fill any container in which itis contained. Ithas no definite ‘volume or shape. It takes the shape and volume of the container into which it is introduced. Gas is highly compressible and large quantities of itcan be compressed to occupy a small volume, ‘A perfect gas obeys two conditions: (1) It obeys the gas law p = p RT or pV = mRT where R is @ ‘constant called the gas constant, the value of which is constant forthe gas concerned and V is the volume occupied by the mass m of the gas at pressure p. The greek letter p (pronounced as “tho") stands for the density.of the gas. The absolute temperature T is given by T° (abs) = 273 + 1°C. (2) The ratio of the two specific heats ofa perfect gas, namely, specific heat at constant pressure (C;) 104 speci het comment vole (C;), tacoma, Tat hn spect het aio (Oreck leer ‘Gamma’ or k= scons ‘No gas is perfect in realty. However, most gases obey the gas laws if they are at temperatures ‘and pressures weil away both from the liquid phase and from dissociation. For example, air at ‘normal temperature and pressure behaves closely in accordance withthe gas laws or the equation of state, 2 Handbook of Piping Design “The gascous state of a liquid is called its vapour, By adding heat energy, appropriate to the pressure and temperature condition, all liquids will become vapour. Depending upon the quantity Of the heat energy added, part or all of the Tiquid wit! become vapour. If all the liquid becomes ‘vapour, that vapour is called saturated vapour. If still more heat energy is added, the temperature of the vapour will increase, even though its pressure may remain constant. Such vapour which exists ata temperature above its saturation temperature is called superheated vapour. A highly super- heated vapour at low pressure is often found obeying gas laws with sufficient accuracy for many ‘engineering calculations 1.2 DENSITY, SPECIFIC WEIGHT AND SPECIFIC VOLUME, Density ofa fluid isthe mass which it possesses per unit volume, [tis usually denoted by the Greek letter p (Rho). Mass, m Density: P= Vojume, V aay Density is generally expressed in gem ‘The density ofa uid decreases with increase in temperature. Liquids, being incompressible, are negligibly affected by pressure changes. But the density of a gas or vapour changes appreciably with change in pressure. Density increases with increase in pressure, Specific weight of a fluid isthe weight it possesses per unit volume. It is denoted by the symbol W or (Greek letter pronounced as “Gamma"), Generally, in engineering calculations specific weight is used instcad of density. Density p and the specific weight 7 are related as follows: a2 where, is acceleration due to gravity. From equation 1.2 itis clea that specific weight depends on gravitational acceleration and den- sity. Since gravitational acceleration varies from place to place, specific weight also varies from place to place. Further as stated earlier, density changes with temperature and pressure, and hence specific weight also changes with temperature and pressure, Specific weight is expressed in kg/m Specific volume of a uid isthe volume of the fluid per ‘unit weight. ILis the reciprocal of specific weight and expressed in m’ /kg, It is generally denoted bby V and is commonly used in problems involving gas laws. 1.2.1 Density of Gases and Vapours Density of a gas p under operating conditions is gencrally expressed relative to the density of air p, at normal conditions.

By Avogadro's hypothesis, unit volume of all pure gases at the same temperature and pressure contain the same number of molecules. Since density is proportional to the mass of an individual molecule, the [product of R and the molecular weight M is constant forall perfect gases. This product MR is known as the universal gas constant, ‘Considering temperature and pressure conditions as normal and indicating this normal condition ‘withthe subscript, equation 1.4 can be re-written as: Pr, Pra as) Considering the normal pressure in mm.
