INDEX I-IV Chapter 1 Properties of Fluids FLUID MECHANICS & HYDRAULICS Fluid Mechanics is a physical science dealing with the action of fluids at rest or in motion, and with applications and devices in engineering using fluids. Fluid mechanics can be subdivided into two major areas, fluid statics, which deals with fluids at rest, and fluid dynamics, concerned with fluids in motion. The term hydrodynamics is applied to the flow of liquids or to low-velocity gas flows where the gas can be considered as being essentially incompressible, Hydraulics deals with the application of fluid mechanics to engineering devices involving liquids, usually water or oil. Hydraulics deals with such problems as the flow of fluids through pipes or in open channels, the design of storage dams, pumps, and water turbines, and with other devices for the control or use of liquids, such as nozzles, valves, jets, and flowmeters. ‘TYPES OF FLUID Fluids are generally di led into two categories: ideal fluids and real fluids, Ideal fluids + Assumed to have no viscosity (and hence, no resistance to shear) ‘+ Incompressible + Have uniform velocity when flowing + No friction between moving layers of fluid * No eddy currents or turbulence inite viscosities + Non-uniform velocity distribution when flowing + Compressible + Experience friction and turbulence in flow Real fluids are further divided into Newtonian fluids and non-Newtonian fluids, Most fluid problems ascume real fluids with Newtonian characteristics for coowenience. This assumption is appropriate for water, air, gases, steam, and tether simple fluids like alcohol, gasoline, acid solutions, ete.

Surface tension also causes bubbles and droplets to take on 2 spherical shape, since any other shape would have more surface area per nit volume. Pressure inside a Droplet of Liquid: Eq.1-10 where: @ = surface tension in N/m d= diameter of the droplet in m p= gage pressure in Pa Capillarity ha (@) Adhesion > cohesion (b) Cohesion > adhesion . Capillarity (Capillary action) is the name given to the behavior of the liquid in a thin-bore tube. The rise or fall or a fluid in a capillary tube is caused by surface tension and depends on the relative magnitudes of the cohesion of the liquid and the adhesion of the liquid to the walls of the containing vessel. Liquids rise in tubes they wet (adhesion > cohesion) and fall in tubes they do not wet (cohesion > adhesion). Capillary is important when using tubes smaller than about 3/8 inch (9.5 mm) in diameter.

Also known as adiabatic exponent VAPOR PRESSURE Molecular activity in a liquid will allow some of the molecules to escape the liquid surface. Molecules of the vapor also condense back into the liquid. The vaporization and condensation at constant temperature are equilibrium Processes. The equilibrium pressure exerted by these free molecules is known as the unpor pressure or saturation pressure. Some liquids, such as propane, butane, ammonia, and Freon, have significant vapor pressure at normal temperatures. Liquids near their boiling point or that vaporizes easily are said to volatile liquids. Other liquids such as mercury, have insignificant vapor pressures at the same temperature. Liquids with low vapor pressure are used in accurate barometers. The tendency toward vaporization is dependent on the temperature of the liquid. Boiling occurs when the liquid temperature is increased to the point that the vapor pressure is equal to the local ambient (surrounding) pressure. ‘Thus, a liquid’ boiling temperature depends on the local ambient pressure, as well as the liquid’s tendency to vaporize.

The unit atmosphere (atm) is defined as a pressure of 1.03323 kg/cm? (14.696 Ib7in’), which, in terms of the conventional mercury barometer, corresponds to 760 mm (29.921 in) of mercury. The unit kilopascal (kPa) is defined as a pressure of 0.0102 kg/cm? (0.145 Ib/sq in) PASCAL'S LAW Pascal's law, developed by French mathematician Blaise Pascal, states that the Pressure on a fluid is equal in all directions and in all parts of the container. In Figure 2 - 1, as liquid flows into the large container at the bottom, pressure Pushes the liquid equally up into the tubes above the container. The liquid TESS to the same level in all of the tubes, regardless of the shape or angle of the Figure 2~ 2: Mustration of Pascal's Law The laws of Huid mechanics are observable in many everyday situations, For example, the pressure exerted by water at the bottom of a pond will be the ‘same as the pressure exerted by water at the bottom of a much narrower pipe, provided depth remains constant. If a longer pipe filled with water is tilted so that it reaches a maximum height of 15 m, its water will exert the same pressure as the other examples (left of Figure 2- 2). Fluids can flow up as well as down in devices such as siphons (right of Figure 2 - 2). Hydrostatic force ‘causes water in the siphon to flow up and over the edge until the bucket is empty or the suction is broken. A siphon is particularly useful for emptying containers that should not be tipped |S Figure 2 - 2: Ilustration of Pascal's Law ABSOLUTE AND GAGE PRESSURES Gage Pressure (Relative Pressure) Gaye premures are pressures above or below the atmosphere and can be ‘yauypsor manometers, For small presaire differences, a U- ith one ends concected to wrediby presnure {ube manometer fs used.

Here, after 2 boat has entered the lock and all gates are secured, the downstream slices open and water flows through them. When the water level is equal on either side of the downstream gate, water stops flowing through the sluices; the downstream gate opens, and the bast continues on at the new water level ‘TYPES OF DAMS, 1. Gravity dams use only the force of gravity to resist water pressure — that is, they hold back the water by the sheer force of their weight Pushing downward. To do this, gravity dams must consist of a mass so heavy that the water in a reservoir cannot push the dam downstream or tip it over. They are much thicker at the base than the top—a shape that reflects the distribution of the forces of the water against the dam. As water becomes deeper, it exerts more horizontal Pressure on the dam. Gravity dams are relatively thin near the surface Of the reservoir, where the water pressure is light. A thick base enables the dam to 4vithsind the move intense water proseare the bottom of the reservoir. " pes Figure 3 - 4: Gravity dam 2. An embankment dam is a gravity dam formed out of loose rock, earth, or a combination of these materials. The upstream and downstream slopes of embankment dams are flatter than those of concrete gravity dams. In essence, they more closely match the natural slope of a pile of rocks or earth. 3. Arch dams are concrete or masonry structures that curve upstream into a reservoir, stretching from one wall of a river canyon to the other. This design, based on the same principles as the architectural arch and vault, transfers some water pressure onto the walls of the canyon. Arch dams require a relatively narrow river canyon with solid rock walls capable of withstanding a significant amount of horizontal thrust. These dams do not need to be as massive as gravity dams because the canyon walls carry part of the pressure exerted by the reservoir. Figure 3 - 5: Arch dam FLUID MECHANICS & HYDRAULICS A buttress dash consists of a wall, or face, supported by several buttresses on the downstream side. The vast majority of buttress dams are made of concrete that is reinforced with steel. Buttresses are typically spaced across the dam site every 6 to 30 m (20 to 100 ft), depending upon the size and design of the dam. Buttress dams are sometimes called hollow dams because the buttresses do not form a solid wall stretching across a river valley.

These are body's weight W (acting at its center of gravity) and its buoyant force g {acting at the center of buoyancy that is located at the center of gravity of displaced liquid). When these forces are collinear as shown in Figure 3 - 10 (a), it floats in upright position. However, when the body tilts due to wind or wave act the center of buoyancy shifts to its new position as shown in Figure 3 - 19( ‘and the two forces, which are no longer collinear, produces couple equal Wi). The body will not overtum if this couple makes the body rotate towa its original position as shown in Figure 3 - 10 (b), and will overturn if situation is as shown in Figure 3 - 10 (c). ‘The point of intersection between the axis of the body and the line of action the buoyant force is called the metacenter. The distance from the meta (Mj to the center of gravity (G) of the body is called the metacentric hei (MG).
