2.1 INTRODUCTION
Hydraulic machines handle water. Machines changing fluid energy into
mechanical energy are called hydraulic turbines or hydraulic motors.
Machines designed to more liquids and add energy to them are called pumps.
There are also special systems dealing with the transmission of hydraulic
power. The hydraulic machines are classified in Fig. 2.1.

1. Ideal fluid
An ideal fluid is an imaginary fluid which is both incompressible and non-
viscous. Such liquids do not exist in nature. However, water is assumed to
be incompressible and has very low value of viscosity. Therefore, it is nearly
an ideal fluid. For incompressible fluid, the water density is constant.
p = const.
2. Newtonian fluid
The oils used in power transmission machines and fluid systems are also
incompressible. These oils are assumed to be Newtonian fluids whose
viscosity is independent of velocity gradient,

system is called the surrounding. The boundary separating the system from
the surrounding may be real (solid) or imaginary.
There may be energy transfer into or out of the system.
1. Closed system. A closed system has fixed identity with fixed mass.
There is no mass (fluid) transfer across the system boundary.
All positive displacement machines such as reciprocating pumps, gear
pumps, etc. torque converters, fluid couplings, various fluid power
systems and fluid control systems will be analyzed as constant mass
closed systems.
2. Open system. In an open system, the fluid crosses the boundary of
the system in addition to interaction of energy between the system
and the surrounding. The mass of an open system may or may not
change. The identity of the fluid changes continuously. The
boundary of the open system is kept fixed without any change in its
volume. An open system is also referred to as control volume system.
The closed boundary of a control volume is called the control
surƒace. There is a transfer of both mass and energy across the
control surface. All types of hydraulic turbines, centrifugal pumps,
axial flow pumps, slurry pumps, jet pumps, pneumatic lift pumps,
various supply and disposal fluid systems will be analyzed and studied
as control volume systems.

Consider a stream tube. For steady state flow, mass entering the tube is
equal to mass leaving the tube.

The angle between F and Fx can be found out as:

The flowing fluid will also exert an equal and opposite force on the
boundary of the stream tube. The forces may include dynamic force due
to change of momentum, static pressure, weight of fluid, drag force due to
friction, gravity and inertia forces due to centrifugal force.
Assumptions
1. Fluid is non-viscous and frictional losses are zero.
2. Fluid is homogeneous and incompressible. p = constant
3. Flow is steady.
4. Flow is one-dimensional along the streamline.
5. Velocity is uniform over the section
6. Flow is continuous
7. Except gravity and pressure forces, no other forces are involved.
Other forces like forces due to viscosity, turbulence and
compressibility are neglected.
Energy is defined as ability to do work. It manifests in various forms
and can change from one form to another.
