Introduction
Mechanics: The oldest physical science that
deals with both stationary and moving bodies
under the influence of forces.
Statics: The branch of mechanics that
deals with bodies at rest.
Dynamics: The branch that deals with
bodies in motion.
Fluid mechanics: 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.
Fluid dynamics: Fluid mechanics is also
referred to as fluid dynamics by considering
fluids at rest as a special case of motion with
zero velocity.

Fluid mechanics deals with


liquids and gases in motion or
at rest.

Hydrodynamics: The study of the motion of fluids that can be


approximated as incompressible (such as liquids, especially water,
and gases at low speeds).
Hydraulics: A subcategory of hydrodynamics, which deals with
liquid flows in pipes and open channels.
Gas dynamics: Deals with the flow of fluids that undergo
significant density changes, such as the flow of gases through
nozzles at high speeds.
Aerodynamics: Deals with the flow of gases (especially air) over
bodies such as aircraft, rockets, and automobiles at high or low
speeds.
Meteorology, oceanography, and hydrology: Deal with naturally
occurring flows.

What is a Fluid?
Fluid: A substance in the liquid or gas
phase.
A solid can resist an applied shear
stress by deforming.
A fluid deforms continuously under the
influence of a shear stress, no matter
how small.
In solids, stress is proportional to
strain, but in fluids, stress is
proportional to strain rate.
When a constant shear force is
applied, a solid eventually stops
deforming at some fixed strain angle,
whereas a fluid never stops deforming
and approaches a constant rate of
strain.

Deformation of a rubber block


placed between two parallel plates
under the influence of a shear force.
The shear stress shown is that on
the rubberan equal but opposite
shear stress acts on the upper plate.

Stress: Force per unit area.


Normal stress: The normal
component of a force acting on a
surface per unit area.
Shear stress: The tangential
component of a force acting on a
surface per unit area.
Pressure: The normal stress in a
fluid at rest.
Zero shear stress: A fluid at rest is
at a state of zero shear stress.
When the walls are removed or a
liquid container is tilted, a shear
develops as the liquid moves to
re-establish a horizontal free
surface.

The normal stress and shear stress


at the surface of a fluid element.
For fluids at rest, the shear stress is
zero and pressure is the only
normal stress.

In a liquid, groups of molecules can move relative to each other,


but the volume remains relatively constant because of the strong
cohesive forces between the molecules. As a result, a liquid
takes the shape of the container it is in, and it forms a free
surface in a larger container in a gravitational field.
A gas expands until it encounters the walls of the container and
fills the entire available space. This is because the gas
molecules are widely spaced, and the cohesive forces between
them are very small. Unlike liquids, a gas in an open container
cannot form a free surface.

Unlike a liquid, a gas does not


form a free surface, and it
expands to fill the entire
available space.

Intermolecular bonds are strongest in solids and weakest in gases.


Solid: The molecules in a solid are arranged in a pattern that is
repeated throughout.
Liquid: In liquids molecules can rotate and translate freely.
Gas: In the gas phase, the molecules are far apart from each other, and
molecular ordering is nonexistent.

The arrangement of atoms in different phases: (a) molecules are at relatively


fixed positions in a solid, (b) groups of molecules move about each other in
the liquid phase, and (c) individual molecules move about at random in the
gas phase.

Dimensions, Dimensional Homogeneity


and Units
Fluid mechanics will be
dealing with a variety of
fluid characteristics.
It is necessary to develop
a system for describing
these characteristics :Quantitatively
Qualitatively

QUANTITATIVELY :
Aspect serves to identify the nature of fluid
such as length, time, stress and velocity.
QUALITATIVELY :
Aspect provides a numerical measure of the
characteristic. Quantitative requires both a
number and a standard. Such standards are
called unit.

Primary quantity :
L : Length
T : Time
M : Mass
: Temperature
Secondary quantity :
2
L : Area
-1
LT : Velocity
-3
ML : Density

Example :
V =Vo + at
Where V is a uniformly acceleration body

All theoretically derived equations are dimensionally
homogeneous. The dimension of the left side of the
equation must be the same as those on the right side,
and all additive separate terms must have the same
dimensions.

Activity 1.1
A liquid flows through an orifice located
in the side of a tank as shown on the
right side. A commonly used the
equation for determining the volume
rate of flow, Q through the orifice is
Q = 0.61A2gh
gE01_01a(

where, A is the area, g is the


acceleration and h is the height of
liquid

gE01_01b(

Dimension of various terms:Q = volume/time = L3T-1


A = Area = L2
g = acceleration of gravity = LT-2
h = Height = L
L3T-1 = (0.61)(L2)(2)(LT-2)1/2(L)1/2
L3T-1 = (0.61)(2) (L3T-1)

Properties of Fluids
Density

Density is mass per unit volume;

Specific volume
Specific volume is
volume per unit
mass

Typical values at atmospheric condition;

Water = 1000 kgm-3

Mercury = 13546 kgm-3

Air = 1.23 kgm-3

Paraffin Oil = 800 kgm-3

g01_02'

Density of water as a function of temperature

Specific Weight
The weight of a unit volume of a substance

Specific of Gravity
Defined as the ratio of the density of the
fluid to the density of water at some
specified temperature

Density of water (H2O) = 1000 kg/m

Density!
Ideal-gas equation of state: The simplest and bestknown equation of state for substances in the gas
phase.

Ru: The universal gas constant

The thermodynamic temperature scale in the SI is the Kelvin scale.


In the English system, it is the Rankine scale.

An ideal gas is a hypothetical substance


that obeys the relation Pv = RT.
The ideal-gas relation closely
approximates the P-v-T behavior of real
gases at low densities.
At low pressures and high temperatures,
the density of a gas decreases and the gas
behaves like an ideal gas.

Air behaves as an ideal gas, even at


very high speeds. In this schlieren
image, a bullet traveling at about the
speed of sound bursts through both
sides of a balloon, forming two
expanding shock waves. The
turbulent wake of the bullet is also
visible.

In the range of practical interest, many


familiar gases such as air, nitrogen,
oxygen, hydrogen, helium, argon, neon,
and krypton and even heavier gases such
as carbon dioxide can be treated as ideal
gases with negligible error.
Dense gases such as water vapor in steam
power plants and refrigerant vapor in
refrigerators, however, should not be
treated as ideal gases since they usually
exist at a state near saturation.
