PRINCIPLE CONCEPTS OF FLUID MECHANICS J3008/1/2
Fluids
In everyday life, we recognize three states of matter: solid, liquid and gas. Although
different in many respects, liquids and gases have a common characteristic in which
they differ from solids. Both are fluids, but lacks the ability of solids to offer a
permanent resistance to a deforming force.
A fluid is a substance which deforms continuously under the action of shearing forces,
however small they may be. Conversely, if a fluid is at rest, there can be no shearing
forces acting and, therefore, all forces in the fluid must be perpendicular to the planes
upon which they act.

INPUT
Temperature scales are defined by the numerical value assigned to a standard fixed
point. By international agreement the standard fixed point is the easily reproducible
triple point of water. These are represented by the state of equilibrium between steam,
ice and liquid water.
In this unit we learn how to convert temperatures into Celsius, Fahrenheit Kelvin and
Rankine scales.
The Celsius temperature scale uses the unit degree Celsius (ºC), which has the same
magnitude as the Kelvin. Thus the temperature differences are identical on both scales.
However, the zero point on the Celsius scale is shifted to 273K, as shown by the
following relationship between the Celsius temperature and the Kelvin temperature:
By definition, the Rankine scale, the unit of which is the degree Rankine (R) is
proportional to the Kelvin temperature according to
T (R ) = 1 . 8 T (K ) …(2)
A degree of the same size as that on the Rankine scale is used in the Fahrenheit scale,
but the zero point is shifted according to the relation

INPUT
Fluid properties are intimately related to fluid behaviour. It is obvious that different
fluids can have grossly different characteristics. For example, gases are light and
compressible, whereas liquids are heavy and relatively incompressible.
To quantify the fluid behaviour differences certain fluid properties are used. The fluid
properties are mass density, specific weight, specific gravity, specific volume and
viscosity.

A fluid at rest cannot resist shearing forces but once it is in motion, shearing
forces are set up between layers of fluid moving at different velocities. The
viscosity of the fluid determines the ability of the fluid in resisting these
shearing stresses.

FLUID STATIC J3008/2/2
INPUT
2.0 INTRODUCTION
A fluid is a substance that flows easily. Gases and liquids are fluids, although
sometimes the dividing line between liquids and solids is not always clear. Because of
their ability to flow, fluids can exert buoyant forces, multiply forces in a hydraulic
systems, allow aircraft to fly and ships to float.
The topic that this unit will explore will be pressure and depth. If a fluid is within a
container then the depth of an object placed in that fluid can be measured. The deeper
the object is placed in the fluid, the more pressure it experiences. This is because of the
weight of the fluid above it. The more dense the fluid above it, the more pressure is
exerted on the object that is submerged, due to the weight of the fluid.
The formula that gives the pressure, p on an object submerged in a fluid is:
p = ρgh
Where,
ρ (rho) is the density of the fluid,
g is the acceleration of gravity
h is the height of the fluid above the object
If the container is open to the atmosphere above, the added pressure must be included if
one is to find the total pressure on an object. The total pressure is the same as absolute
pressure on pressure gauge readings, while the gauge pressure is the same as the fluid
pressure alone, not including atmospheric pressure.
http://modul2poli.blogspot.com/
FLUID STATIC J3008/2/3
In Unit 1, we have defined the meaning of ‘pressure’. In this unit we will learn about
the relationship between pressure and depth.
When a liquid (such as water, oil etc) is contained in a vessel, it exerts force at all points
on the sides and bottom of the container. This force per unit area is called pressure. If F
is the force acting on an area a, then intensity of pressure is :
F
p=
A
The direction of this pressure is always at right angle to the surface, with which the
fluid at rest, comes into contact.
The intensity of pressure at any point is the force exerted on an unit area at that point
and is measured in Newtons per square metre, N/m2 (Pascals). An alternative metric
unit is bar, which is in N/m2.
http://modul2poli.blogspot.com/
FLUID STATIC J3008/2/4
In this section, we are going to look into the relationship between depth and pressure.
Figure 2.1
Consider a vessel containing some liquid as shown in Figure 2.1. We know that the
liquid will exert pressure on all sides and the bottom of the vessel. Let a cylinder be
made to stand in the liquid as shown in the figure. The weight of liquid contained in
the cylinder is ωhA where ;
The pressure, at the bottom of the cylinder, will be due to the weight of the liquid
contained in the cylinder. Let this pressure be p.
Then,
This equation shows that the intensity of pressure at any point, in a liquid, is
proportional to its depth as measured from the surface (as ω is constant for the given
liquid).
http://modul2poli.blogspot.com/
FLUID STATIC J3008/2/5
It is thus obvious, that the pressure can be expressed in either one of the following two
ways :
a) As force per unit area ( N/m2)
b) As height of equivalent liquid column
Example 2.1
a) Find the density of pressure p at a depth below the surface of a liquid of specific
weight ω = ρg if the pressure at the free surface is zero.
b) A diver is working at a depth of 20 m below the surface of the sea. How much greater
is the pressure intensity at this depth than at the surface? Take into consideration
specific weight of water is 10000 N/m3.
Liquid of specific
weight w
Cross-sectional

Figure 2.2
http://modul2poli.blogspot.com/
FLUID STATIC J3008/2/6
Intensity of pressure× area base = Weight per unit volume × volume of column
pA = ω. Ah
p = ωh = ρgh since ω = ρg
Since the same relation applies wherever the column is taken, it follows that :
The intensity of pressure is the same at all points in the same horizontal plane in
a liquid at rest.
Therefore,
p = 1000 x 20
= 200000 N/m2
= 200 kN / m 2
Example 2.2
Find the height of a water column which is equivalent to the pressure of 2 N/m2.

FLUID STATIC J3008/2/11
INPUT
Hydraulic system uses an incompressible fluid, such as oil or water, to transmit forces
from one location to another within the fluid. Most aircraft use hydraulics in the braking
systems and landing gear. Pneumatic systems use compressible fluid, such as air, in
their operation. Some aircraft utilize pneumatic systems for their brakes, landing gear
and movement of flaps.
Pascal's law states that when there is an increase in pressure at any point in a
confined fluid, there is an equal increase at every other point in the container.
For example, in the Figure 2.3, P3 would be the highest value of the three pressure
readings, because it has the highest level of fluid above it.
Figure 2.3
http://modul2poli.blogspot.com/
FLUID STATIC J3008/2/12
If the container had an increase in overall pressure, that same added pressure would
affect each of the gauges (and the liquid throughout) in the same way. For example p1,
p2, p3 were originally 1, 3, 5 units of pressure, and if 5 units of pressure were added to
the system, the new readings would be 6, 8, and 10.
Applied to a more complex system below (Figure2.4), such as a hydraulic car lift,
Pascal's law allows forces to be multiplied. The cylinder on the left shows a cross-
section area of 1 square meter, while the cylinder on the right shows a cross-section area
of 10 square metre. The cylinder on the left has a weight (force) of 1 kg acting
downward on the piston, which lowers the fluid 10 metres. As a result of this force, the
piston on the right lifts a 10 kg weight a distance of 1 metre.
The 1 kg load on the 1 square metre area causes an increase in pressure on the fluid in
the system. This pressure is distributed equally throughout and acts on every square
metre of the 10 square metre area of the large piston. As a result, the larger piston lifts
up a 10 kg weight. The larger the cross-section area of the second piston, the larger the
mechanical advantage, and the more weight it lifts.
W2 = 10 kg
W1 = 1 kg
A1 = 1 square metre
A2 = 10 square metre
D1= 10 meter
D2 = 1 meter
Figure 2.4
Since pressure equals force per unit area, then it follows that
F1 F2
=
A1 A2
http://modul2poli.blogspot.com/
FLUID STATIC J3008/2/13
It can be shown by substitution that the values shown above are correct,
1 kg 10 kg
=
1 square metre 10 square metre
Because the volume of fluid pushed down on the left side equals the volume of fluid
that is lifted up on the right side, the following formula is also true.
V1 = V2
by substitution,
A1 × D1 = A2 × D2
Or
A1 D2

Although the Piezometer tube is a very simple and accurate pressure measuring
device, it has several disadvantages. It is only suitable if the pressure in the
container (pipe or vessel) is greater than the atmospheric pressure (otherwise
air would be sucked into system), and the pressure to be measured must be
relatively small so that the required height of column is reasonable. Also, the
fluid in the container in which the pressure is to be measured must be a liquid
rather than a gas.

Example 3.1
A pressure tube is used to measure the pressure of oil ( mass density, 640 kg / m 3 ) in a

What is the atmospheric pressure in N/m2 if the level of mercury in a Barometer
(Figure 3.3) tube is 760 mm above the level of the mercury in the bowl? Given the
specific gravity of mercury is 13.6 and specific weight of water is 9.81 × 10 3 N / m 3 .
If A is a point in the tube at the same level as the free surface outside, the pressure pA
at A is equal to the atmospheric pressure p at the surface because, if the fluid is at rest,
pressure is the same at all points at the same level.
The column of mercury in the tube is in equilibrium under the action of the force due
to pA acting upwards and its weight acting downwards; there is no pressure on the top
of the column as there is a vacuum at the top of the tube.

So,
Putting

While

Bourdon Gauge is used to measure pressure differences that are more than 1.2 bar.
The pressure to be measured is applied to a curved tube, oval in cross section. Pressure
applied to the tube tends to cause the tube to straighten out, and the deflection of the
end of the tube is communicated through a system of levers to a recording needle. This
gauge is widely used for steam and compressed gases. The pressure indicated is the
difference between that communicated by the system to the external (ambient)
pressure, and is usually referred to as the gauge pressure.

A very simple way to measure the rate at which water is flowing along the pipe is by
catching all the water that is coming out of the pipe in a bucket over a fixed time
period. We can obtain the rate of accumulation of mass by measuring the weight of the
water in the bucket and dividing this by the time taken to collect this water. This is
known as the mass flowrate.

The potential energy per unit weight has dimensions of Nm/N and is measured
as a length or head z and can be called the potential head.

The principle of the orifice meter is identical with that of the venturi
meter. The reduction at the cross section of the flowing stream in passing
through the orifice increases the velocity head at the expense of the pressure
head, and the reduction in pressure between the taps is measured by a
manometer. Bernoulli's equation provides a basis for correlating the increase in
velocity head with the decrease in pressure head.
From Figure 5.7 the orifice meter is attached to the manometer. There
are Section 1 (entrance of the orifice) and Section 2 (exit of the orifice also
known as vena contracta).

5.1 A venturi meter measures the flow of water in a 75 mm diameter pipe. The
difference between the throat and the entrance of the meter is measured by the
U-tube containing mercury which is being in contact with the water. What
should be the diameter of the throat of the meter in order that the difference in
the level of mercury is 250 mm when the quantity of water flowing in the pipe
is 620 dm3/min? Assume coefficient of discharge is 0.97.
5.2 A pitot-static tube placed in the centre of a 200 pipe line conveying water has
one orifice pointing upstream and the other perpendicular to it. If the pressure
difference between the two orifices is 38 mm of water when the discharge
through the pipe is 22 dm3/s, calculate the meter coefficient. Take the mean
velocity in the pipe to be 0.83 of the central velocity.

When there is a loss of head due to friction in a pipeline in terms of the
velocity head; we assume that the frictional resistance per unit area of the pipe
wall is proportional to the square of the mean velocity of flow.
Consider a cylinder of fluid of length L completely filling the pipe of cross
sectional area A and moving with a mean velocity v ( Figure 6.5).
The force acting on the cylinder is the force due to pressure difference and the
force due to frictional resistance. Since the velocity is constant and there is no
acceleration, the resultant of these two forces in the direction of motion must
be zero.

7.0 INTRODUCTION
Nozzle
A nozzle is a device that increases the velocity of a fluid at the expense of pressure.
It is a duct of smoothly varying cross-sectional area in which a steadily flowing fluid
can be made to accelerate by a pressure drop along the duct.
There are many applications in practice which require a high-velocity stream of fluid,
and the nozzle is the best means of obtaining high-velocity, thus nozzles are used in
steam and gas turbines, in jet engines, in rocket motors, in flow measurement, and in
many other applications.
When a fluid is decelerated in a duct, causing a rise in pressure along the stream, then
the duct is called a diffuser; two applications in practice in which a diffuser is used are
the centrifugal compressor and the ram jet.

- It has been stated before, that the velocity at the throat of a correctly
designed nozzle is the velocity of sound.
- The flow-up to the throat is sub-sonic while the flow after the throat is
supersonic. It should be noted that a sonic or supersonic flow requires a
diverging duct to accelerate it.
- In the same way, for a nozzle that is convergent, the fluid will attain sonic
velocity at the exit if the pressure drop across the nozzle is large enough.
- The ratio of the pressure at the section where sonic velocity is attained to
the inlet pressure of a nozzle is called the critical pressure ratio.

NOZZLES J3008/7/5
- When the back pressure is exactly equal to the critical pressure, pc then the
velocity at exit is sonic and the mass flow through the nozzle is at a
maximum value. The exit pressure remains at pc, and the fluid expands
violently outside the nozzle down to the back pressure.
- It can be seen that the maximum mass flow through a convergent nozzle is
obtained when the pressure ratio across the nozzle is the critical pressure
ratio. Also, for a convergent-divergent nozzle, with sonic velocity at the
throat, the cross-sectional area of the throat fixes the mass flow through the
nozzle for fixed conditions.

INPUT
Steam turbine, gas turbine, jet engine, flow measurement, rocket propulsion,
steam injector and an injector itself.
a) Steam Turbine
• Of all the heat engines and prime movers the steam turbine is the nearest to
the ideal and it is widely used in power plants and in all industries where
power and/or heat is needed for processes; such as pulp mills, refineries,
petro-chemical plants, food processing plants, desalination plants, refuse
incinerating and district heating plants.

NOZZLES J3008/7/17
b) Gas Turbine
• The main use for the gas turbine in the present day is in the air-craft field,
and the large unit of a gas turbine is used for electric power generation and
for marine propulsion.

NOZZLES J3008/7/18
c) Jet Engine
• Jet engines move the airplane forward with a great force that is produced
by a tremendous thrust and causes the plane to fly very fast.
• All jet engines, which are also called gas turbines, work on the same
principle. The engine sucks air in at the front with a fan. A compressor
raises the pressure of the air. The compressor is made up of fans with many
blades and attached to a shaft. The blades compress the air. The
compressed air is then sprayed with fuel and an electric spark lights the
mixture. The burning gases expand and blast out through the nozzle, at the
back of the engine. As the jets of gas shoot backward, the engine and the
aircraft are thrust forward as shown in Figure 7.7.
• In a jet engine airplane, thrust is a result of hot gases (exhaust) rushing out
of the engine's nozzle. The action of the gases rapidly moving backward
causes a reaction in the air. The air puts out a force equal to the thrust, but
in the opposite direction, moving the airplane forward.

NOZZLES J3008/7/19
d) Flow Measurement
• A nozzle is used frequently as a flow meter by inserting it into a pipeline
and measuring the pressure drop or the differential between the inlet and
the throat. This pressure must be kept small, and is measured by a water or
mercury manometer.
• Eddies are set up as the fluid leaves the nozzle and the kinetic energy of
the jet is dissipated irreversibly. This means that some of the pressure
drop, ∆ p , is not recovered, and so the nozzle causes a loss of pressure in
the pipeline.

means of propolsion. Since the fluid

f) Steam Injector
• Steam injector is widely used in the steam locomotives and is one of the
components used in the nuclear power plants.
• In the steam engine of the steam locomotive, the water supply to the boiler
is provided by two live steam injectors, or one live steam and one exhaust
injector on larger locomotives. Injectors work because steam under the
same pressure and conditions flows from a contracted nozzle at a much
greater velocity than water. The steam cone, or nozzle, regulates the
quantity of steam used by the injector. It is both convergent and divergent
in order to direct the flow of steam into the combining cone and gives it
the maximum possible velocity. (Figure 7.11)
• The condensation of the steam jet and the transfer of its energy to the
water takes place in the combining cone which receives the steam and
water. In condensing, the steam gives up its velocity to the water, which is
then further accelerated by the vacuum in the combining cone caused by
the reduction in the volume of the steam when condensed by the water.
• At the inlet end is a jet consisting of a mixture of steam and water, while
the outlet end has a jet of hot water flowing at high velocity but very low
in pressure. Steam injectors are very efficient and waste very little heat as
the steam used is returned to the boiler as hot water.

g) Injector
• One of an example of an injector is a fuel injector. It is an electronically
controlled valve. It is supplied with pressurized fuel by the fuel pump in
your car, and it is capable of opening and closing many times per second.
Figure 7.12
• The injectors are mounted in the intake manifold so that they spray fuel
directly at the intake valves. A pipe called the fuel rail supplies pressurized
fuel to all of the injectors.
