PROPERTIES OF rao tN > 1.1 INTRODUCTION Fluid mechanics is that branch of science which deals with the behaviour of the fluids (liquids or ‘gases) at rest as well as in motion. Thus this branch of science deals with the static, kinematics and dynamic aspects of fluids. The study of fluids at rest is called fluid staties. The study of fluids in motion, where pressure forces are not considered, is called fluid kinematics and if the pressure forces are also considered for the fluids in motion, that branch of science is called fluid dynamics. > 1.2 PROPERTIES OF FLUIDS 1.2.1 Density or Mass Density. Density or mass density of a fluid is defined as the ratio of the ‘mass of a fluid to its volume. Thus mass per unit volume of a fluid is called density. It is denoted by the symbol p (tho). The unit of mass density in SI unit is kg per cubic metre, i, kg/m®. The density of liquids may be considered as constant while that of gases changes with the variation of pressure and temperature. ‘Mathematically, mass density is written as Mass of fluid ‘Volume of fluid © ‘The value of density of water is 1 gm/cm? or 1000 kg/m>, 1.2.2. Specific Weight or Weight Density. Specific weight or weight density of a fluid is the ratio between the weight of a fluid to its volume. Thus weight per unit volume of a fluid is called ‘weight density and itis denoted by the symbol w.

Specific volume of a fluid is defined as the volume of a fluid occupied. by a unit mass or volume per unit mass of a fluid is called specific volume. Mathematically, it is expressed as Volume of fluid 1 1 volume Mass of fluid Mass of fluid“ 5 ‘Volume of fluid ‘Thus specific volume is the reciprocal of mass density. It is expressed as m’/kg. It is commonly applied to gases. Speci 1.2.4. Specific Gravity. Specific gravity is defined as the ratio of the weight density (or density) of a fluid to the weight density (or density) of a standard fluid. For liquids, the standard fluid is taken water and for gases, the standard fluid is taken air. Specific gravity is also called relative density.

Sx Density of water = 5x 1000 kg/m’, (LIA) If the specific gravity of a fluid is known, then the density of the fluid will be equal to specific gravity of fluid multiplied by the density of water. For example, the specific gravity of mercury is 13.6, hence density of mercury = 13.6 x 1000 = 13600 kg/m’.

Ans. > 1.3 VISCOSITY Viscosity is defined as the property of a fluid which offers resistance to the movement of one layer of fluid over another adjacent layer of the fluid. When two layers of a fluid, a distance “dy” apart, move one over the other at different velocities, say u and u + du as shown in Fig. I.1, the viscosity together with relative velocity causes a shear stress acting between the fluid layers, The top layer causes a shear stress on the adjacent lower ayer wie te lowe layer eases \ a shear stress on the adjacent top layer.

Temperature affects the viscosity. The viscosity of liquids decreases with the increase of temperature while the viscosity of gases increases With the increase of temperature. This is due to reason that the viscous forces in a fluid are due to cohesive forces and molecular momentum transfer. In liquids, the cohesive forces predominates the molecular momentum transfer, due t0 closely packed molecules and with the increase in temperature, the cohesive forces decreases with the result of decreasing viscosity. But in case of gases the cohesive forces are small and molecular momentum transfer predominates. With the increase in temperature, molecular momentum transfer increases and hence viscosity increases. The relation between viscosity and temperature for liquids and gases are: .(— ay Trartpr where t= Viscosity of liquid at °C, in poise ‘iscosity of liquid at 0°C, in poise (0 For liquids, ©, B= Constants forthe liquid For water, Hy = 1.79 x 10° poise, «= 0.03368 and B = 0.000221.

It is denoted by Greek letter 6 (called sigma). In MKS units, itis expressed as kgf/m while in SI units as N/m. ‘The phenomenon of surface tension is explained by Pee coRrael Fig. 1.10. Consider three molecules A, B, C of a liquid in a mass of liquid. The molecule A is attracted in all directions equally by the surrounding molecules of the liquid. Thus the resultant force acting on the molecule A is zero, But the molecule B, which is situated near the free surface, is acted upon by upward and downward forces which are unbalanced, Thus a net resultant force on molecule B is acting in the downward direction. The molecule C, situated on the free surface of liquid, does experience a resultant downward force. All the molecules on the free surface experience a downward force. Thus the free surface of the liquid acts like a very thin film under tension of the surface of the liquid act as though it is an elastic membrane under tension.

Capillarity is defined as a phenomenon of rise or fall of a liquid surface in a small tube relative to the adjacent general level of liquid when the tube is held vertically in the liquid. The rise of liquid surface is known as capillary rise while the fall of the liquid surface i known as capillary depression. Itis expressed in terms of cm or mm of liquid. Its value depends upon the specific weight of the liquid, diameter of the tube and surface tension of the liquid. Expression for Capillary Rise. Consider a glass tube of small diameter ‘a’ opened at both ends and is inserted in a liquid, say water. ‘The liquid will rise in the tube above the level of the liquid. Let f= height of the liquid in the tube. Under a state of equilibrium, the weight of liquid of height 1 is balanced by the force atthe surface of the liquid in the tube. But the force at the surface of the liquid in the tube is due to surface tension.

The vaporization (which depends upon the prevailing pressure and temperature condition) occurs because of continuous ‘escaping of the molecules through the free liquid surface. Consider a liquid (say water) which is confined in a closed vessel. Let the temperature of liquid is 20°C and pressure is atmospheric. This liquid will vaporise at 100°C. When vaporization takes place, the molecules escapes from the free surface of the liquid. These vapour molecules get accumulated in the space between the free liquid surface and top of the vessel. These accumulated vapours exert a pressure on the liquid surface. This pressure is known as vapour pressure of the liquid or this is the pressure at which the liquid is converted into vapours. Again consider the same liquid at 20°C at atmospheric pressure in the closed vessel. If the pressure above the liquid surface is reduced by some means, the boiling temperature will also reduce. If the pressure is reduced t0 such an extent that it becomes equal to or less than the vapour pressure, the boiling of the liquid will start, though the temperature of the liquid is 20°C. Thus a liquid may boil ‘even at ordinary temperature, if the pressure above the liquid surface is reduced so as to be equal or less than the vapour pressure of the liquid at that temperature. Now considera flowing liquid in a system. If the pressure at any point in this flowing liquid becomes. ‘equal to of less than the vapour pressure, the vaporization of the liquid starts. The bubbles of these vapours are carried by the flowing liquid into the region of high pressure where they collapse, giving rise to high impact pressure. The pressure developed by the collapsing bubbles is so high that the ‘material from the adjoining boundaries gets eroded and cavities are formed on them. This phenomenon is known as cavitation. Hence the cavitation is the phenomenon of formation of vapour bubbles of a flowing liquid in a region where the pressure of the liquid falls below the vapour pressure and sudden collapsing of these vapour bubbles in a region of higher pressure. When the vapour bubbles collapse, a very high pressure iscreated. The metallic surfaces, above which the liquid is flowing, is subjected to these high pressures, which cause pitting action on the surface. Thus cavities are formed on the metallic surface and hence the name is cavitation, 20NT- ky, THe angular velocity w= 22%. 0,000 0 + Power ncasofSL. Unit Pxcwor 2 atFluid Mechanics 2 ).
