The fundamental principles that apply to the analysis of sluid flows are the conservation laws and the transport laws. We will learn to understand the physical meaning and mathematical representation of such quantities as velocity, stress, pressure, momentum, and energy. We will approach the study of fluid mechanics in the engineering point of views. Although science and math are important tools for engineers we often need to use our experience and judgment to obtain a quick estimate to obtain a working solution. Approximation based on sound physical principles and good engineering judgments are invaluable to the engineer. This requires a thorough understanding of any studied system so that an engineer can organize and apply the obtained information to analyze and/or design similar systems on a different scale, We first review some of the basic definitions necessary when applying the conservation laws to study a system. © Rate’ ‘Rate’ implies an element of speed, how fast an event happens, and time, © ‘System! A system is any designated region of a continuum of fixed mass, The boundaries of a system may be deformable but they always enclose the same mass. In thermodynamics, the universe can be divided into two parts. One part is the system and the other partis the rest of the universe called the surroundings. Surroundings Boundary SY ma iN Figure 1.1 Schematic diagram of the "universe", showing a system and the surroundings. © ‘Control volume! A ‘control volume' is also any designated region of a continuum except that it may permit matter to cross its boundaries. If the boundaries of a control volume are such that matter may not enter or leave the control volume, the control volume is identical to a system. In these respects, a ‘system! is a subset of a ‘control volume’. 1 ‘Equilibrium’ means that there are no spatial differences in the variables that describe the condition of the system, also called the ‘state’ of a system, such as its pressure, temperature, volume, and mass (P, 7, V, m), and that any changes which occur do so infinitesimally slowly. © ‘Stress’ In fluid mechanics, stress is force per unit area, There are two types of stresses: normal and shear stresses. As the names imply, normal stress results when a force acts normal to a surface and shear stress occurs when a force acts tangentially to the surface. 1.2 Transport Laws Transport laws govern the rate at which conserved quantities (such as mass, energy, momentum, ete.,) ate transported from one region to another in a continuous medium. These are called phenomenological laws because they are based upon observable phenomena and logic but they cannot be derived from more fundamental principles. The transport laws can be expressed in the general form as Driving force Rate of transport = ig Resistance = Conductance x Driving force The rate of transport of any conserved quantity Q per unit area normal to the direction of transport is called the fluc of Q. The driving force for the transport is the negative of the gradient (wwith respect to the direction of transport) of the concentration of Q denoted by Qe as shown in Figure 2.2-1. % Figure 2.2-1 The concentration gradient atx Figure 2.2-1 shows the concentration gradient of Q, we, which is the slope of the curve of Q, versus x. Since Q is transported from a region of higher concentration to a region of lower concentration, the slope is negative. The driving force is defined as the negative of the concentration gradient, -&, so that the flux is in the positive direction. 1-2 Flux of Q in the x direction = —Kr- @. .2-D In this expression, Kr is the transport coefficient for the quantity Q. For molecular transport, Kris a property only of the medium. Fourier’s Law of Heat Conduction Fourier's law (1822), developed from observed phenomena, states that the rate of heat transfer in the 'n' direction is proportional to the temperature gradient & hares where 1 is the direction of heat transfer and Onis the change of distance in the direction 1.

In this text, we will usually consider the isotropic materials where the thermal conductivity k is independent of direction. For one dimensional heat transfer in the x-direction only, the heat transfer rate is then (1.2-2) or in terms of the heat flux g: a di (12-3) For system with constant density p and constant heat capacity Cp, equation (1.2-3) ean be written as bk 06,T)__ 4(00,) 12-4 , =~ a (12-4) Equation (1.2-4) has the form of equation (1.2-1) Flux of @ in the x direction = —Ky we (24) Qin this case is just the energy or heat so that q° = flux of Q in the x direction.

Since the temperature varies across the slab or the x-direction, a differential control volume with the same cross-sectional area A as that of the slab and a thickness dx will be considered.

Determine the ‘maximum magnitude of the shear stress and its location. Solution ~ Plotting out the velocity profile we obtain the following graph, which indicates that the highest change in velocity occurs at the top plate. This is the location of the maximum shear stress. We can confirm this result by using equation (1.2-7) to determine the shear stress (12-7) ‘The only variable in this equation is y. ‘The shear stress will have the maximum value when y is at its highest allowable value, which is 5 mm, Therefore (2)(0.0012)(4000)(0.005) = 0.048 Pa Example 1.2-5 aoceneeeeee Which of the quantities fisted below are flow properties and which are fluid properties?

Due to the compressibility of the fluid, disturbances generated at some point in the fluid will propagate at a finite velocity. The velocity at which these small disturbances propagate is called the acoustic velocity or the speed of sound.

It can be defined with reference to Figure 1.4-1. A molecule I, located in the interior of the liquid, is attracted equally in all directions by its neighbors. However, a molecule S, located in the surface, is drawn toward the bulk of the liquid because there are no liquid molecules in the other direction to pull them outward, Therefore energy is required to bring an interior molecule to the surface to overcome the net attractive force into the bulk of the liquid. Molecule S Free surface Molecule | x W] gf] Newly crested surface tbh tt Liquid 7 — Figure 1.4-1 (a) Surface tension is caused by the attractive force between molecules; (b) newly created surface caused by moving the tension orthrough a distance L. Consider the surface tension oper unit distance IY of a line drawn in the surface as shown in Figure 1.4-1 (b). An amount of work or energy oWVZ is required to create an area WL of fresh surface due to the movement of the surface tension o over a distance Z. Therefore surface tension has units of energy per unit area or force per unit length.

By convention, the radius of curvature is positive on the concave side and negative on the convex side, The surface tension can be measured with the device shown in Figure 1.4-3. Sliding part » of frame Figure 1.4-1 Surface tension from liquid film’. A wire frame with one movable side is dipped into a liquid and carefully removed so that a film of liquid is formed in the space of the frame. The film tends to draw the movable part of the frame inward. The force required to resist this motion is measured by a weight. It has been observed that the ratio of the force to the length of the sliding part of the wire is always the same for a given liquid at a given temperature independent of the size of the frame. The liquid film in the frame has two surfaces (front and back), therefore the surface tension is given by mg on me. 2b In this equation, m is the mass of the weight and L the length of the sliding part of the frame, ‘The principle of the device shown in Figure 1.4-1 is easy to understand. However it is difficult to find the right weight to balance the liquid frame. One of the simplest method to ‘measure surface tension is the measurement of capillary rise as shown in Figure 1.4-4, A narrow capillary tube of inside diameter D, is dipped into a liquid that wets the tube.

It can only support normal stress or pressure that can result from gravity or various other forces acting on the fluid. Pressure is an isotropic stress since the force acts uniformly in all directions normal to any local surface at a given point in the fluid, An isotropic stress is then a scalar since it has magnitude only and no direction, By convention, pressure is considered a negative stress because it is compressive, whereas tensile stresses are positive. The direction of pressure force is always pointing inward the control volume.
