CHAPTER 1.0: Principles of Fluid

1.1 Introduction to Fluid Mechanics

Mechanics is the oldest physical science that deals with
both stationary and moving bodies under the influence of
forces. The branch of mechanics that deals with bodies at
rest is called statics, while the branch that deals with
bodies in motion is called dynamics.

The subcategory fluid mechanics is
defined as the science that deals with the behavior of
fluids at rest (fluid statics)or in motion (fluid dynamics),
and the interaction of fluids with solids
or other fluids at the boundaries.

1.1 Introduction to Fluid Mechanics


- Fluid engineering applications is enormous:
breathing, blood flow, swimming, pumps, fans,
turbines, airplanes, ships, rivers, windmills, pipes,
icebergs, engines, filters, jets, and sprinklers, to
name a few..

1.1 Introduction to Fluid Mechanics (Contd)

- From the point of view of fluid mechanics, all matter
consists of only two states, fluid and solid.

-Distinction between a solid and a fluid is made on the
basis of the substances ability to resist an applied
shear (or tangential) stress that tends to change its
shape.

- Any shear stress applied to a fluid, no matter how
small, will result in motion of that fluid. The fluid
moves and deforms continuously as long as the
shear stress is applied.

block resting on a rigid
plane and stressed by its
own weight. The solid
sags into a static
deflection, shown as a
highly exaggerated

- The liquid retains its volume and forms a free
surface in the container.

- If the walls are removed, shear develops in the
liquid and a big splash results.

- If the container is tilted, shear again develops,
waves form, and the free surface seeks a horizontal
configuration, pouring out over the lip if necessary.

level.

1.2 Thermodynamic Properties of a Fluid: (Contd)
- Density in liquids is nearly constant; the density
of water (about 1000 kg/m
3
) increases only 1
percent if the pressure is increased by a factor of
220. Thus most liquid flows are treated
analytically as nearly incompressible.


- Compare their densities at 20C and 1 atm:

1.2 Thermodynamic Properties of a Fluid( Contd):
The density of liquids and solids
depends more strongly on
temperature than it does on
pressure. At 1 atm, for example,
the density of water changes
from 998 kg/m3 at 20C to 975
kg/m3 at 75C, a change of 2.3
percent, which can still be
neglected in many engineering
analyses.

h) Viscosity, (Kelikatan)
is a property that represents the internal resistance
of a fluid to motion or the fluidity, and that property
is the viscosity.


The force a flowing fluid
exerts on a body in the
flow direction is called the
drag force, and the
magnitude of this force
depends, in part, on
viscosity

To obtain a relation for viscosity, consider a fluid layer
between two very large parallel plates (or equivalently, two
parallel plates immersed in a large body of a fluid)
separated by a distance l .



Now a constant parallel force F
is applied to the upper plate
while the lower plate is held
fixed. After the initial transients, it
is observed that the upper plate
moves continuously under the
influence of this force at a
constant velocity V.
1.2 Thermodynamic Properties of a Fluid( Contd):
BFC 10403 NOOR ALIZA AHMAD
21


The fluid in contact with the upper plate sticks to
the plate surface and moves with it at the same
velocity, and the shear stress t acting on this fluid
layer is (t = F/A) where A is the contact area
between the plate and the fluid. Note that the fluid
layer deforms continuously under the influence of
shear stress.

Fluids for which the rate of deformation is proportional to
the shear stress are called Newtonian fluids

Water, air, gasoline, and oils (Newtonian fluids)
Blood and liquid plastics (non-Newtonian fluids)

In one-dimensional shear flow of Newtonian fluids, shear
stress can be expressed by the linear relationship

Shear stress:

In these and other observances, liquid
droplets behave like small spherical
balloons filled with the liquid, and the
surface of the liquid acts like a
stretched elastic membrane under
tension. The pulling force that causes
this tension acts parallel to the surface
and is due to the attractive forces
Between the molecules of the liquid. The
magnitude of this force per unit
length is called surface tension os and
is usually expressed in the unit N/m

1.2 Thermodynamic Properties of a Fluid( Contd):
BFC 10403 NOOR ALIZA AHMAD
32
How surface tension arises??

Let see at microscopic view in
Figure . By considering two
liquid molecules, one at the
surface and one deep within the
liquid body. The attractive forces
applied on the interior
molecule by the surrounding
molecules balance each other
because of symmetry.
1.2 Thermodynamic Properties of a Fluid( Contd):
BFC 10403 NOOR ALIZA AHMAD
33

But the attractive forces acting on the surface molecule
are not symmetric,and the attractive forces applied by
the gas molecules above are usually
very small.

Therefore, there is a net attractive force acting on the
molecule at the surface of the liquid, which tends to pull
the molecules on the surface toward the interior of the
liquid.

This force is balanced by the repulsive forces from the
molecules below the surface that are being
compressed.
1.2 Thermodynamic Properties of a Fluid( Contd):
BFC 10403 NOOR ALIZA AHMAD
34
The resulting compression effect causes the liquid to
minimize its surface area. This is the reason for the
tendency of the liquid droplets to attain a spherical
shape, which has the minimum surface area for a
given volume.

That why with amusement,
that some insects can land on
water or even walk on water
and that small steel needles
can float on water. These
phenomena are again made
possible by surface tension
that balances the weights of
these objects.

l) Capillary effect (Kererambutan)
Another interesting consequence of
surface tension is the capillary
effect,which is the rise or fall of a liquid in
a small-diameter tube inserted into the
liquid.

This effect is usually expressed by saying that
water wets the glass (by sticking to it) while
mercury does not

BFC 10403 NOOR ALIZA AHMAD
38
The capillary rise of water and
the capillary fall of mercury in a
small-diameter glass tube.
The phenomenon of capillary effect
can be explained microscopically
by considering cohesive forces (the
forces between like molecules,
such as water and water) and
adhesive forces (the forces
between unlike molecules, such as
water and glass). The liquid
molecules at the solidliquid
interface are subjected to both
cohesive forces by other liquid
molecules and adhesive forces by
the molecules of the solid.
1.2 Thermodynamic Properties of a Fluid( Contd):
BFC 10403 NOOR ALIZA AHMAD
39
The magnitude of the capillary
rise in a circular tube can be
determined from a force
balance on the cylindrical liquid
column of height h in the tube
(see figure)

The bottom of the liquid column
is at the same level as the free
surface of the reservoir, and
thus the pressure there must be
atmospheric pressure.
1.2 Thermodynamic Properties of a Fluid( Contd):
BFC 10403 NOOR ALIZA AHMAD
40
This balances the atmospheric pressure acting at
the top surface, and thus these two effects cancel
each other. The weight of the liquid column
is approximately
Equating the vertical component of the surface
tension force to the weight gives
