What is Fluid Mechanics about?
2
It is an introductory course
Covering fundamental aspects of fluid mechanics
Especially the well established laws of conservation of
mass, energy and momentum
Fluid Mechanics is a study of the behavior of fluids, either at rest (fluid
statics) or in motion (fluid dynamics).
The analysis is based on the fundamental laws of mechanics, which relate
continuity of mass and energy with force and momentum.
An understanding of the properties and behavior of fluids at rest and in
motion is of great importance in engineering.

Deforms continuously under applied shear
Stress is proportional to strain rate

Dimensional homogeneity
38
Restricted homogeneous equations: equations that are restricted to a particular system of units.
Example

Systems of Units: Primary Units

Specific Weight: weight per unit volume (BG- lb/ft3, SI- N/m3)
weight
g
volume
g acceleration due to gravity (32.174 ft/s2; 9.807 m/s2)
Water at 60 o F has a specific weight of 62.4 lb/ft3 and 9.80 kN/m3)

2 C ( 39 .2O F )= 1.94 slugs/ft3 or 1000 kg/m3
Hydrostatic Pressure
45
P P0 gh
Initial Pressure – May or MAY NOT be
atmospheric pressure
ABSOLUTE PRESSURE
Hydraulic Lift
49
Absolute Pressure, Gage Pressure, and Vacuum
pressure relations
• Pressure in a vacuum is p = 0.
• Absolute pressure is referenced to perfect vacuum.
• Gage pressure is referenced to another pressure, typically
atmospheric pressure (most gages measure relative pressures).
50
Ideal gas law
51
Special fluids (e.g., most biological fluids, toothpaste, some paints, etc.)
Also called “Non-linear” fluids
Viscosity
54
Kinematic viscosity ,
Shear thinning fluids – the apparent viscosity decreases
with increasing shear rate; the harder the fluid is sheared,
the less viscous it becomes.
THIS IS KNOWN AS
NO-SLIP CONDITION
Compressibility of fluids
57
Bulk modulus.
Compression and expansion of gases.
Speed of sound.
Compressibility of fluids
58
Where k is the ratio of the specific heat at constant pressure (cp), to the
c
specific heat at constant volume, (cv) (i.e., k p )
cv
Two specific heats are related to the gas constant R, through the equation
Compression and Expansion of Gases
60
Ev
c
Since the disturbance is small, there is negligible heat
transfer and the process is assumed to be isentropic
Speed of Sound
65
kp
c
Using the ideal gas law, one can write
c kRT
Vapor pressure
66
Wetting fluid: if the adhesion of the molecules to the solid surface is strong compared to the
cohesion between molecules, the liquid will wet the surface and the level in a tube placed in a
wetting liquid will actually be raised
Non-wetting fluid: if the adhesion of the molecules to the solid surface is weak compared to
the cohesion between molecules, the liquid will not wet the surface and the level in a tube
placed in a non-wetting liquid will actually be depressed
Surface tension contd…
73
The force due to surface tension = The force due to pressure difference
6. Which among wood, steel and glass surface will show higher
wetting by water???
7. Which among water, oil and magma is most compressible
fluid???
8.What is the dimension of specific volume, specific gravity and
specific weight???
9.Which among air, mercury and water is most wetting and most
non-wetting???
10. What is the force that acts on oil kept in a rectangular tank at
rest? Which part of the tank experiences maximum pressure???
11. Which among gasoline, mercury and seawater shows higher
speed of sound???
