Chapter 15 Fluid Mechanics
Fluids • Fluids (Ch. 5) – substances that can flow (gases, liquids) • Fluids conform with the boundaries of any container in which they are placed • Fluids lack orderly long-range arrangement of atoms and molecules they consist of • Fluids can be compressible and incompressible
Density and pressure • Density • SI unit of density: kg/m 3 • Pressure (cf. Ch. 14) • SI unit of pressure: N/m 2 = Pa (pascal) Blaise Pascal (1623 - 1662) • Pressure is a scalar – at a given point in a fluid the measured force is the same in all directions • For a uniform force on a flat area
Atmospheric pressure • Atmospheric pressure: • P 0 = 1. 00 atm = 1. 013 x 105 Pa
Fluids at rest • For a fluid at rest (static equilibrium) the pressure is called hydrostatic • For a horizontal-base cylindrical water sample in a container
Fluids at rest • The hydrostatic pressure at a point in a fluid depends on the depth of that point but not on any horizontal dimension of the fluid or its container • Difference between an absolute pressure and an atmospheric pressure is called the gauge pressure
Chapter 15 Problem 28 Barometric pressure in the eye of a hurricane is 0. 91 atm (27. 2 in. of mercury). How does the level of the ocean surface under the eye compare with the level under a distant fair-weather region where the pressure is 1. 0 atm?
Measuring pressure • Mercury barometer • Open-tube manometer
Pascal’s principle • Pascal’s principle: A change in the pressure applied to an enclosed incompressible fluid is transmitted undiminished to every portion of the fluid and to the walls of its container • Hydraulic lever • With a hydraulic lever, a given force applied over a given distance can be transformed to a greater force applied over a smaller distance
Archimedes’ principle • Buoyant force: For imaginary void in a fluid p at the bottom > p at the top Archimedes of Syracuse (287 -212 BCE) • Archimedes’ principle: when a body is submerged in a fluid, a buoyant force from the surrounding fluid acts on the body. The force is directed upward and has a magnitude equal to the weight of the fluid that has been displaced by the body
Archimedes’ principle • Sinking: • Floating: • Apparent weight: • If the object is floating at the surface of a fluid, the magnitude of the buoyant force (equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the body) is equal to the magnitude of the gravitational force on the body
Chapter 15 Problem 29 On land, the most massive concrete block you can carry is 25 kg. Given concrete’s 2200 -kg/m 3 density, how massive a block could you carry underwater?
Motion of ideal fluids Flow of an ideal fluid: • Steady (laminar) – the velocity of the moving fluid at any fixed point does not change with time (either in magnitude or direction) • Incompressible – density is constant and uniform • Nonviscous – the fluid experiences no drag force • Irrotational – in this flow the test body will not rotate about its center of mass
Equation of continuity • For a steady flow of an ideal fluid through a tube with varying cross-section Equation of continuity
Bernoulli’s equation • For a steady flow of an ideal fluid: • Kinetic energy • Gravitational potential energy • Internal (“pressure”) energy Daniel Bernoulli (1700 - 1782)
Bernoulli’s equation • Total energy
