FLUID MECHANICS



This lecture will help you understand:

• Density• Pressure• Buoyancy in a Liquid• Archimedes’ Principle• Pressure in a Gas• Atmospheric Pressure• Pascal’s Principle• Buoyancy in a Gas• Bernoulli’s Principle


Density

Density• Importantproperty of materials (solids, liquids,

gases)• Measure of compactness of how much mass an

object occupies• “lightness” or “heaviness” of materials of the

same size


Density

• Equation :

• Units of: – mass in grams or kilograms– volume in cm3 or m3

– density in kg/m3 or g/cm3

Example: The density of mercury is 13.6 g/cm3, so mercury has 13.6 times as much mass as an equal volume of water

(density 1 g/cm3).

density = massvolume


Density

Weight density• in equation form:

often expressed in pounds per cubic foot

example: density of salt water is 64 lb/ft3, more dense

than fresh water (density 62.4 lb/ft3)

weight density = weightvolume


Which of these has the greatest density?

A. 100 kg of lead

B. 100 kg of water

C. Both are the same

D. None of the above

DensityCHECK YOUR NEIGHBOR


Which of these has the greatest density?

A. 100 kg of lead

B. 100 kg of water

C. Both are the same


Explanation:

They have the same mass and weight, but different volumes. Any amount of lead is more dense than any amount of water.

DensityCHECK YOUR ANSWER


Pressure

• force per unit area that one object exerts on another

• equation:

• depends on area over which force is distributed

• units in lb/ft2, N/m2, or Pa (Pascals)

pressure = forcearea


Pressure in a Liquid• Force per unit area that a liquid exerts on

something• Depth dependent and not volume dependent

Example: Swim twice as deep and the pressure due to the weight of water above you is twice as much. (For total pressure, add to this the atmospheric pressure acting on the water surface.)


Pressure in a Liquid

Effects of water pressure• acts perpendicular to surfaces

of a container

• liquid spurts at right angles from a hole in the surface curving downward– The greater the depth, the greater

the exiting speed


Pressure in a Liquid

• Acts equally in all directions

Examples: • your ears feel the same amount of pressure under

water no matter how you tip your head• bottom of a boat is pushed upward by water pressure• pressure acts upward when pushing a beach ball

under water


Pressure in a Liquid• Independent of shape of container

whatever the shape of a container, pressure at any particular depth is the same

• Equation:

liquid pressure = weight density depth


Water Tower

• Force of gravity acting on the water in a tall tower produces pressure in pipes below that supply many homes with reliable water pressure.


Suppose water from a tall tower supplies a nearby home. If water faucets upstairs and downstairs are turned fully on, will more water per second flow from the downstairs or the upstairs faucet? Or will water flow in each be the same?

A. Downstairs.

B. Upstairs.

C. Same.

D. Not enough information in problem.

A. Downstairs

B. Upstairs

C. Same

D. Not enough information in problem.

Explanation:

Water pressure depends on the depth below the free surface. Downstairs faucets are simply “deeper” and receive greater pressure, which means greater rate of water flow.

A. The three-meter deep lake.

B. The six-meter deep small pond.

C. Same amount of pressure is exerted (atmospheric) so same force.

D. Not enough information given in the question.

Buoyancy in a Liquid

Buoyancy • apparent loss of weight of a submerged object• amount equals the weight of water displaced


Archimedes’ Principle

Archimedes’ Principle• discovered by Greek scientist Archimedes• relates buoyancy to displaced liquid• states that an immersed body (completely or

partially) is buoyed up by a force equal to the weight of the fluid it displaces

• applies to gases and liquids


Archimedes’ PrincipleApparent weight of a submerged object• weight out of water – buoyant force

Example: if a 3-kg block submerged in water apparently “weighs” 1 kg, then the buoyant force or

weight of water displaced is 2 kg

(BF = wt out of water – apparent wt = 3 kg – 1 kg = 2 kg)



• Displacement rule: A completely submerged object always displaces a volume of liquid equal to its own volume.

Example: Place a stone in a container that is brim- full of water, and the amount of

water overflow equals the volume of the stone



• Buoyant force is equal to the weight of fluid displaced. It can also be understood by pressure differences.

• The greater pressure against the bottom of the box, minus the pressure on the top, results in an upward force—the buoyant force.



Buoyant Force• Buoyant force is equal to the

weight of fluid displaced. • Understood by pressure

differences greater pressure against the box – pressure on the top of box


On which of these blocks submerged in water is the buoyant force greatest?

A. 1 kg of lead.

B. 1 kg of aluminum.

C. 1 kg of uranium.

D. All the same.

A. 1 kg of lead.

B. 1 kg of aluminum.

C. 1 kg of uranium.

D. All the same.

Explanation:

The largest block is the aluminum one. It displaces more water and therefore experiences the greatest buoyant force.

Archimedes’ PrincipleCHECK YOUR ANSWER


Archimedes’ PrincipleFlotation• Principle of flotation

– A floating object displaces a weight of fluid equal to its own weightExample: A solid iron 1-ton block may displace 1/8 ton of water

and sink. The same 1 ton of iron in a bowl shape displaces a greater volume of water—the

greater buoyant force allows it to float


The reason a person finds it easier to float in salt water, compared with fresh water, is that in salt water

A. the buoyant force is greater.

B. a person feels less heavy.

C. a smaller volume of water is displaced.

D. None of the above.



The reason a person finds it easier to float in salt water, compared with fresh water, is that in salt water

A. the buoyant force is greater.

B. a person feels less heavy.

C. a smaller volume of water is displaced.


Explanation:

A floating person has the same buoyant force whatever the density of water. A person floats higher because a smaller volume of the denser salt water is displaced.



On a boat ride, the skipper gives you a life preserver filled with lead pellets. When he sees the skeptical look on your face, he says that you’ll experience a greater buoyant force if you fall overboard than your friends who wear Styrofoam-filled preservers.

A. He apparently doesn’t know his physics.

B. He is correct.

A. He apparently doesn’t know his physics.B. He is correct.

Explanation:He’s correct, but what he doesn’t tell you is you’ll drown! Your life preserver will submerge and displace more water than those of your friends who float at the surface. Although the buoyant force on you will be greater, the net force downward is greater still!



Pressure in a Gas

The Falkirk Wheel in Scotland illustrates Figure 5.17 in your book. Each of the two caissons weigh the same regardless of the weights of floating boats they carry.


Pressure in a Gas

• Gas pressure is a measure of the amount of force per area that a gas exerts against containing walls.

• Here the force is exerted by the motion of molecules bouncing around.

• Temperature is a measure of the KE per molecules of the gas.


Pressure in a GasRelationship between pressure and density• Gas pressure is proportional to density

Example:

– Air pressure and air density inside an inflated tire are greater than the atmospheric pressure and density outside

– Twice as many molecules in the same volume air density doubled

– For molecules moving at the same speed (same temperature), collisions are doubled pressure doubled


Pressure in a Gas

Double density of air by• Doubling the amount of air• Decreasing the volume to half


Pressure in a Gas

Boyle’s Law• Relationship between pressure and volume for ideal

gases• An ideal gas is one in which intermolecular forces play

no role• States that pressure volume is a constant for a given

mass of confined gas regardless of changes in pressure or volume (with temperature remaining unchanged)

• pressure volume = constant means that P1V1 = P2V2


When you squeeze a party balloon to 0.8 its volume, the pressure in the balloon

A. is 0.8 its former pressure.

Pressure in a GasCHECK YOUR ANSWER


Earth’s AtmosphereAtmosphere• ocean of air • exerts pressure

The Magdeburg-hemispheres demonstration in 1654 by Otto von Guericke showed the large magnitude of atmosphere’s pressure.


Atmospheric Pressure

Atmospheric pressure• Caused by weight of air• Varies from one locality to another• Not uniform• Measurements are used to predict

weather conditions


Atmospheric Pressure

• Pressure exerted against bodies immersed in the atmosphere result from the weight of air pressing from above

• At sea level is 101 kilopascals(101 kPa)

• Weight of air pressing down on 1 m2 at sea level ~ 100,000 N, so atmospheric pressure is ~ 105 N/m2


Atmospheric Pressure• Pressure at the bottom of a column of air reaching to the

top of the atmosphere is the same as the pressure at the bottom of a column of water 10.3 m high.

• Consequence: the highest the atmosphere can push water up into a vacuum pump is 10.3 m

• Mechanical pumps that don’t depend on atmospheric pressure don’t have the 10.3-m limit


Mechanical Pump

• When the piston is lifted, the intake valve opens and air moves in to fill the empty space.

• When the piston is moved downward, the outlet valve opens and the air is pushed out.


Barometers

Barometer• Device to measure atmospheric pressure• Also determines elevation

Aneroid barometer• Small portable instrument that measures

atmospheric pressure• Calibrated for altitude, then an altimeter


Atmospheric pressure is caused by the

A. density of Earth’s atmosphere.

B. weight of Earth’s atmosphere.

C. temperature of the atmosphere.

D. effect of the Sun’s energy on the atmosphere.

Pascal’s Principle

Pascal’s principle• Discovered by Blaise Pascal, a scientist and theologian

in the 17th century• States that a change in pressure at any point in an

enclosed fluid at rest is transmitted undiminished to all points in the fluid

• Applies to all fluids—gasesand liquids


Pascal’s Principle• Application in hydraulic press

Example: – Pressure applied to the left piston is transmitted to the

right piston

– A 10-kg load on small piston (left) lifts a load of 500 kg on large piston (right)


A 10-kg load on the left piston will support a 500-kg load on the right piston. How does the pressure of fluid against the lower part of the left piston compare with the pressure against the lower right piston?

A. More pressure on the left piston.

B. More pressure on the right piston.

C. Same pressure on each.

D. Same force on each.

Pascal’s Principle

• Since the pressure in the fluid is the same at both ends of the tube, one can cleverly change the force and area to mechanically multiply each.

• This principle underlies a lot!

Pascal’s Principle• Application for gases and liquids

– seen in everyday hydraulic devices used in construction

– in auto lifts in service stations• increased air pressure produced by an air

compressor is transmitted through the air to the surface of oil in an

underground reservoir.The oil transmits thepressure to the piston,which lifts the auto.

(Here surface area of reservoir is irrelevant.)

Fluid Flow

Continuous flow• Volume of fluid that flows past any cross-section

of a pipe in a given time is the same as that flowing past any other section of the pipe even if the pipe widens or narrows.

• Fluid speeds up when it flows from a wide to narrow pipe

• Motion of fluid follows imaginary streamlines


Bernoulli’s Principle

Bernoulli’s Principle• Discovered by Daniel Bernoulli, a 15th century

Swiss scientist• States that where the speed of a fluid increases,

internal pressure in the fluid decreases• Applies to a smooth, steady flow



Streamlines• Thin lines representing fluid motion• Closer together, flow speed is greater and pressure

within the fluid is less (note the larger bubbles!)• Wider, flow speed is less and pressure within the fluid is

greater (greater pressure squeezes bubbles smaller)



Laminar flow• Smooth steady flow of constant density fluid

Turbulent flow• Flow speed above a critical point becomes

chaotic

A. Pressure is higher.

B. Pressure remains unchanged.

C. Pressure is less.

D. None of these.

Explanation:

This reduction in pressure would be apparent if air bubbles were in the flowing water. Note their sizes increase in the narrow part, due to reduced pressure there!


Applications of Bernoulli

• Moving air gains speed above the roof of a house. This change in air velocity means reduced pressure on the roof.

• Therefore, air pressure inside the house is greater, which can raise the roof.


The pressure in a stream of water is reduced as the stream speeds up. How then can a stream of water from a fire hose actually knock a person off his or her feet?

A. It can’t, as Bernoulli’s principle illustrates.

B. The pressure due to water’s change in momentum can be much greater than the water’s internal pressure.

C. Bernoulli’s principle works only for laminar flow, which the stream is not.

C. Bernoulli’s principle works only for laminar flow, which the stream is not.


Explanation:

There’s a basic distinction between the pressure within flowing water and the pressure it can exert when its momentum is changed. The pressure that knocks one off his or her feet is due to the change in the water’s momentum, not the pressure within the water.
