per unit volume

pressure and temperature , or Vf(t,p ) , and
t??V?,p??V?
The volumetric increment can be approximated by
is total differential, thus

51.3 Viscosity
1.3.1 cohesion force and adhesion force
There are cohesion forces among fluid particles,
while there are adhesion forces among fluid
particles and solid wall. Adhesion forces are
usually greater than cohesion force except
mercury.
1.3.2 dynamic viscosity
Consider two parallel plates, placed a
small distance Y apart, the space between the
plates being filled with the fluid.
6 The lower surface is assumed to be
stationary, while upper one is moved parallel to
it with a velocity U by the application of a
force F, corresponding to some area A of the
moving plates
The particles of the fluid in contact with
each plate will adhere to it. The velocity
gradient will be a straight line. The action is
much as if the fluid were made up of a series of
thin sheets.
7Experiment has shown that for a large class of
fluids
If a constant of proportionality µ is now
introduced, the shear stress tbetween any two
thin sheets of fluid may be expressed by
81 Fluid Properties
Above equation is called Newtows equation of
viscosity and in transposed form it serves to
define the proportional constant
which is called the dynamic viscosity.
The viscosity is the natural property of
fluids, but shown only in fluid flow. The
viscosity is a measure of resistance to shear or
angle deformation. The viscosity accounts for
energy losses associated with the transport of
fluids in ducts and pipes.
The friction forces in fluid flow result from
the cohesion and momentum interchange between
molecules in the fluid.
91 Fluid Properties
As temperature increases, the viscosity of
all liquids decreases, while the viscosity of all
gases increase. This is because the force of
cohesion, which diminishes with temperature,
predominates with liquids while with gases the
predominating factor in the interchange of
molecules between layers of different velocity.
1.3.3 Kinematic viscosity
In many problems including viscosity there
frequently appear the value of viscosity divided
by density. This is defined as kinematic viscosity
E.g. the kinematic viscosity of 30 mechanic oil
is 30 ??
101 Fluid Properties
1.3.3 Relative viscosity
a. Definition E t1 /t2
t1 -time the measured liquid (200mL, TC)
passes through the viscosity-meter
orifice(2.8mm) t2 time the pure water (200mL,
20C) passes through the
viscosity-meter orifice(diameter2.8mm).
b. Transposed relation
The lubrication oil is named according to its
kinematic viscosity E.g. For 30mechanical oil,
its kinematic viscosity is 30 ??
The gasoline is named according to its octane The
diesel oil is named according to its freezing
point
112 Mechanics of fluids at rest
Fluid statics is the study of fluids there
is no relative motion between fluid particles.
The only stress is normal stress, pressure, so
it is the pressure that is of primary interest in
fluid statics.
2.1 static pressure property
a. The pressure is defined as the force
exerted on a unit area
b. The pressure is the same in all direction
Note geometric relation and neglect higher
order term, thus

2.2 Basic differential equation
Assume the pressure is the function of space
coordinates, or pf( x, y, z ) . Consider a
infinitesimal element in the figure.
Assume that a pressure p exists at the
center A of this element, the pressure each
of sides can be expressed by using chain
rule from calculus with p( x, y, z )
132 Mechanics of fluids at rest

This results in three component equations,
Where ax, ay, and az are the components of
the acceleration of the element.

2.4 Absolute pressure, gage pressure and vacuum
If pressure is measured relative to absolute
zero, it is called absolute pressure.
When measured relative to atmosphere as a
base, it is called gage pressure.
If the pressure is below that of the
atmosphere, it is designated as a vacuum.

213 fluid kinematics and dynamics
3.1 Description of fluid motion
a. Lagrangian description
In the study of particle mechanics, attention
is focused on individual particles, motion is
observed as a function of time. The position,
velocity, and acceleration of each particle are
listed
where x, y and z are transient position
coordinates?
This description is easily acceptable but
difficult as the number of particles becomes
extremely large in a fluid flow.
223 Mechanics of fluids in motion
b. Eulerian description
An alternative to following each fluid
particle separately is to identify points in
space and the observe the velocity of particles
pass each point. The flow properties, such as
velocity, are functions of both space and time.
where x, y and z are the position
coordinates of the flow field
233 Mechanics of fluids in motion
3.2 Key concepts
a. Ideal fluid
A fluid is presumed to have no viscosity
b. Incompressible and compressible fluid
An incompressible fluid is the one whose
density remains relatively constant. Generally
speaking, liquids can be considered as
incompressible fluids while gases as compressible
fluids
c. Steady flow
Where the quantities of interest do not depend on
time.
d. Path line
A path line is the locus of points traversed
by a given particle as it travels in the flow
field. Note that a path line is a history of
the particles locations (Lagrange
description)
243 Mechanics of fluids in motion
e. Streamline
A streamline is a curved line possessing
following property the velocity vector of each
particle occupying a point on the streamline is
tangent to the streamline (Eulerian description)
In a steady flow, path lines and streamlines
are all coincident.
253 Mechanics of fluids in motion
f. Stream tube
A stream tube is a tube whose walls are
steamlines.
Note that no fluid can cross the walls of a
stream tube since the velocity is tangent to a
stream line People often sketch a stream tube
with a infinitesimal cross section in the
interior of flow for demonstration purposes.
g. Flow cross section
A plane or curved surface at right (angle) to
the direction of velocity.
263 Mechanics of fluids in motion
h. Flow rate and mean velocity
The quantity of fluid flowing per unit time
across any section is called the flow rate.
In dealing with incompressible fluids,
volume flow rate is commonly used, whereas mass
flow rate is more convenient with compressible
fluids.
The mean value of the velocity in a cross
section is called the mean velocity.
This indicates that the volume flow rate is
equal to the magnitude of the mean velocity
multiplied by the flow area at right to the
direction of velocity.
273 Mechanics of fluids in motion
3.3 Equation of continuity
Assume an incompressible fluid steadily flows
in the infinitesimal stream tube.
The following figure represents a short
length of a stream tube
The fixed volume between the two fixed
sections of the stream tube is called the control
volume.
According to mass conservation law, in the
time dt, the mass flowing in the control volume
must be equal to the mass flowing out the control
volume.
283 Mechanics of fluids in motion
The equation can be simplified, thus
The equation can be integrated along flow cross
section, yielding
The equation indicates the mean velocity is
inversely proportional to the flow area.

3.4 Differential equation of steady flow for
ideal fluid
Consider steady flow of an ideal fluid.
Use a infinitesimal cylindrical element, with
length ds and cross-section dA, in the
s-direction of the stream.
The forces acting on the element are pressure
forces and the weight.
Summing up the forces in the s-direction,
there results

323 Mechanics of fluids in motion
The physical significance of the equation
Bernoulli equation indicates that the total
energy of a fluid flowing from 1 cross section to
2 cross section remains constant though one
energy form can be converted into another.
Bernoulli Daniel (1700-1782), Swiss
mathematician, who showed that as the velocity
of a fluid increases, the pressure decreases, a
statement known as the Bernoulli principle.
333 Mechanics of fluids in motion
E1 Manufacture a shower
In order to suck hot water into the tube, the
pressure inside the tube need be lower than
atmospheric pressure.
A good idea is to increase kinematic energy,
that is to say, to decrease the diameter of the
tube.
E2 The lift force of an airplane
In order to make an airplane lift, the
pressure under the wing need be higher than that

countless infinitesimal stream tubes.
Consequently, we can integrate the above equation
along the cross-section of a real tube

373 Mechanics of fluids in motion
d. Example Venturi meter A Venturi meter
consists of one tube with a constricted throat
which produces an increased velocity accompanied
by a reduction in pressure. The meter is used for
measuring the flow rate of both compressible and
incompressible. Assuming D1200mm,

Finally, the flow rate is
413 Mechanics of fluids in motion
Substituting data for these variables, we
obtain the ideal throat flow rate
As there is some friction losses between
cross section 1-1 and 2-2, the true velocity is
slightly less than the value given by the
expression. Hence, we may introduce a discharge
coefficient C, so that the flow rate is given

534 Energy losses of fluids in motion
Energy loss is usually called power loss or
head loss. Head loss is the measure of the
reduction in the total head (sum of elevation
head, velocity head and pressure head) of the
fluid as it moves through a fluid system.
Head loss includes friction loss and local
loss As the fluid flows through straight
pipes fiction loss occurs. Losses due to the
local disturbance of the flow are called local
losses .
The viscous friction will cause energy loss,
the loss is called the loss caused by viscous
force. The fluid particles do not move in
uniform linear motion but they follow random
paths, or exists the loss caused by inertial force

A distinguishing characteristic of turbulence
is its irregularity and no two particles may
have identical even similar motion, so
statistical mean of evaluation must be employed
b. Laminar boundary layer

817 hydraulically shocking
The phenomenon encountered when the
velocity of a liquid is abruptly decreased due
to valve movement is called hydraulic shock or
water hammer. It is possible to damage
pipes, elements and systems, even to injure
persons. When studying hydraulic shock the
liquid is not incompressible and the piping is
not rigid.
7.1 Physic model and physic process
Consider a single horizontal pipe of length L
and diameter d. The upstream end of the pipe
is connected to a reservoir and a valve is
situated at downstream end.
827 hydraulically shocking
Let us assume that the valve is closed
instantaneously. The lamina of liquid next
to the valve will be brought to rest, its
kinematic energy is converted into pressure
energy. When the lamina is compressed, the wall
of the pipe will be stretched.
Then , the second lamina will be brought to
rest, its kinematic energy is converted into
pressure energy.
Next , the third lamina will be brought to
rest, its kinematic energy is converted into
pressure energy.
837 hydraulically shocking
Under an excess pressure, some liquid starts
to flow back into the reservoir. The pressure
energy is converted into kinematic energy. The
reverse velocity will produce a pressure drop
that will be below the normal pressure.
After the total liquid in the pipe be brought to
motion, The pressure will reach minimum.
If there were not damp, the periodic process
would last forever.
847 hydraulically shocking
7.2 Calculation of maximum pressure rise
Assume that the valve is closed
instantaneously, the velocity of liquid will
abruptly decrease from v to v. The cross area of
the pipe will become (A?A ), the pressure will
rise to (p?p), and the pressure wave from m-m to
n-n in time ?t

c. Some measures
1 Close valves as slowly as possible
2 Use accumulators to absorb shock
3 Arrange buffering valves and anti-overload
valves
4 Use rubber hoses to connect elements
878. Cavitations
When the local pressure becomes equal to the
vapor pressure of the liquid, small vapor bubbles
are generated and these bubbles collapse when
they enter a high-pressure region. The collapse
is accompanies by very large local pressures that
last for only a small fraction of a second. These
pressure spikes may reach a wall, where they can,
after repeated applications result in significant
damage. The phenomenon is called cavitations.
In order to prevent cavitations from
occurring, the system pressure, including all
local pressures, should always be ensured to be
above the atmospheric pressure.
