FLUID MECHANICS & HYDRAULICS
Fluid Mechanics is a physical science dealing with the action of fluids at rest or
in motion, and with applications and devices in engineering using fluids.
Fluid mechanics can be subdivided into two major areas, fluid statics, which
deals with fluids at rest, and fluid dynamics, concerned with fluids in motion.
The term hydrodynamics is applied to the flow of liquids or to low-velocity gas
flows where the gas can be considered as being essentially incompressible.
Hydraulics deals with the application of fluid mechanics to engineering devices
involving liquids, usually water or oil. Hydraulics deals with such problems
as the flow of fluids through pipes or in open channels, the design of storage
dams, pumps, and water turbines, and with other devices for the control or
use of liquids, such as nozzles, valves, jets, and flowmeters.

TYPES OF FLUID
Fluids are generally divided into two categories: ideal fluids and real fluids.
Ideal fluids
e Assumed to have no viscosity (and hence, no resistance to shear)
e Incompressible
e Have uniform velocity when flowing
e No friction between moving layers of fluid
INDEX
e No eddy currents or turbulence
I-IV Real fluids
e Exhibit infinite viscosities ‘
e Non-uniform velocity distribution when flowing
e Compressible
e Experience friction and turbulence in flow

Properties of Fluids
FLUID MECHANICS
& HYDRAULICS
Real fluids are further divided into Newtonian fluids and non-Newtonian fluids.
Most fluid problems assume real fluids with Newtonian characteristics for
convenience. This assumption is appropriate for water, air, gases, steam, and
other simple fluids like alcohol, gasoline, acid solutions, etc. However,
slurries, pastes, gels, suspensions may not behave according to simple fluid
relationships.

VISCOSITY, 1: (MU)
The property of a fluid which determines the amount of its resistance to
shearing forces. A perfect fluid would have no viscosity.

SURFACE TENSION o (SIGMA)
The membrane of “skin” that seems to form on the free surface of a fluid is
due to the intermolecular cohesive forces, and is known as surface tension.
Surface tension is the reason that insects are able to sit on water and a needle is
able to float on it. Surface tension also causes bubbles and droplets to take on
a spherical shape, since any other shape would have more surface area per
unit volume.

where:
o = surface tension in N/m

p = gage pressure in Pa
(a) Adhesion: > Cohesion (b) Cohesion > adhesion
Capillarity (Capillary action) is the name given to the behavior of the liquid in a
thin-bore tube. The rise or fall or a fluid in a capillary tube is caused by
surface tension and depends on the relative magnitudes of the cohesion of the
liquid and the adhesion of the liquid to the walls of the containing vessel.
Liquids rise in tubes they wet (adhesion > cohesion) and fall in tubes they do
not wet (cohesion > adhesion). Capillary is important when using tubes
smaller than about 3/8 inch (9.5 mm) in diameter.

k = ratio of the specific heat at constant pressure to the specific heat at
constant volume. Also known as adiabatic exponent.
VAPOR PRESSURE
Molecular activity in a liquid will allow some of the molecules to escape the
liquid surface. Molecules of the vapor also condense back into the liquid. The
vaporization and condensation at constant temperature are equilibrium
processes. The equilibrium pressure exerted by these free molecules is known
as the vapor pressure or saturation pressure.
Some liquids, such as propane, butane, ammonia, and Freon, have significant
vapor pressure at normal temperatures. Liquids near their boiling point or
that vaporizes easily are said to volatile liquids. Other liquids such as mercury,
have insignificant vapor pressures at the same temperature. Liquids with low
vapor pressure are used in accurate barometers.
The tendency toward vaporization is dependent on the temperature of the
liquid. Boiling occurs when the liquid temperature is increased to the point
that the vapor pressure is equal to the local ambient (surrounding) pressure.
Thus, a liquid’s boiling temperature depends on the local ambient pressure, as
well as the liquid’s tendency to vaporize.

UNIT PRESSURE OR PRESSURE, p
Pressure is the force per unit area exerted by a liquid or gas on a body or
surface, with the force_acting at right angles to the surface uniformly in all
directions.
‘ Force, F
= = Eq. 2-1
P Area, A 4
In the English system, pressure is usually measured in pounds per square inch
(psi); in international usage, in kilograms per square centimeters (kg/cm?), or
in atmospheres; and in the international metric system (SI), in Newtons per
square meter (Pascal). The unit atmosphere (atm) is defined as a pressure of
1.03323 kg/cm? (14.696 lb/in’), which, in terms of the conventional mercury
barometer, corresponds to 760 mm (29.921 in) of mercury. The unit kilopascal
(kPa) is defined as a pressure of 0.0102 kg/cm? (0.145 Ib/sq in).
PASCAL’S LAW
Pascal’s law, developed by French mathematician Blaise Pascal, states that the
pressure on a fluid is equal in all directions and in all parts of the container. In
Figure 2 - 1, as liquid flows into the large container at the bottom, pressure
pushes the liquid equally up into the tubes above the container. The liquid
rises to the same level in all of the tubes, regardless of the shape or angle of the
tube.

ABSOLUTE AND GAGE PRESSURES
Gage Pressure (Relative Pressure)
Gage pressures are pressures above or below the atmosphere and can be
Measured by pressure gauges or manometers., For small pressure differences, a U-
tube manometer is used. It consists of a U-shaped tube with one end connected to
the container and the other open to the atmosphere. Filled with a liquid, such as
water, oil, or mercury, the difference in the liquid surface levels in the two
manometer legs indicates the pressure difference from local atmospheric
tonditions. For higher pressure differences, a Bourdon gauge, named after the
french inventor Eugéne Bourdon, is used. This consists of a hollow metal tube
with an oval cross section, bent in the shape of a hook. One end of the tube is
tlosed, the other open and connected to the measurement region.
Figure 2 ~ 1: Illustration of Pascal’s Law
The laws of fluid mechanics are observable in many everyday situations. For
example, the pressure exerted by water at the bottom of a pond will be the
same as the pressure exerted by water at the bottom of a much narrower pipe,
provided depth remains constant. If a longer pipe filled with water is tilted so
that it reaches a maximum height of 15 m, its water will exert the same
pressure as the other examples (left of Figure 2 - 2). Fluids can flow up as well
as down in devices such as siphons (right of Figure 2 - 2). Hydrostatic force
causes water in the siphon to flow up and over the edge until the bucket is
empty or the suction is broken. A siphon is particularly useful for emptying
containers that should not be tipped.
Atmospheric Pressure & Vacuum
Atmospheric Pressure is the pressure at any one point on the earth's surface from the
Weight of the air above it. A vacuum is a space that has all matter removed from it.
lt is impossible to create a perfect vacuum in the laboratory; no matter how
advanced a vacuum system is, some molecules are always present in the vacuum
area. Even remote regions of outer space have a small amount of gas. A vacuum
ran also be described as a region of space where the pressure is less than the
formal atmospheric pressure of 760 mm (29.9 in) of mercury.
Under Normal conditions at sea level:
Patm = 2166 lb/ft?
= 14.7 psi
= 29.9 inches of mercury (hg)
= 760 mm Hg
= 101.325 kPa
Absolute Pressure
Absolute pressure is the pressure above absolute zero (vacuunt)
Py = Pa
= Ps
Figure 2 - 2: Illustration of Pascal’s Law
Pabs = Pgage + Patm Eq: 2-2
Note:
* Absolute zero is attained if all air is removed. It is the lowest possible pressure attainable.
* Absolute pressure can never be negative.
* The smallest gage pressure is equal to the negative of the ambient atmospheric pressure.

MERCURY BAROMETER 760 mm nanan
A mercury barometer. is an accurate and relatively
simple way to measure changes in atmospheric
pressure. At sea level, the weight of the atmosphere
forces mercury 760 mm (29.9 in) up acalibrated atmospheric
glass tube. Higher elevations yield lower readings pressure
because the atmosphere is less dense there, and the
thinner air exerts less pressure on the mercury.

MANOMETER
A manometer is a tube, usually bent in a form of a U, containing a liquid of
known specific gravity, the surface of which moves proportionally to changes
of pressure. It is used to measure pressure.
Types of Manometer
Open Type - has an atmospheric surface in one leg and is capable of
measuring gage pressures.
Differential Type - without an atmospheric surface and capable of
measuring only differences of pressure.
Piezometer - The simplest form of open manometer. It is a tube tapped into a
wall of a container or conduit for the purpose of measuring pressure. The
fluid in the container or conduit rises in this tube to form a free surface
Limitations of Piezometer:
* Large pressures in the lighter liquids require long tubes
* Gas pressures can not be measured because gas can not form a free
surface

TYPES OF DAMS
1. Gravity dams use only the force of gravity to resist water pressure
—
that is, they hold back the water by the sheer force of their weight
pushing downward. To do this, gravity dams must consist of a mass
so heavy that the water in a reservoir cannot push the dam
downstream or tip it over. They are much thicker at the base than the
top—a shape that reflects the distribution of the forces of the water
against the dam. As water becomes deeper, it exerts more horizontal
pressure on the dam. Gravity dams are relatively thin near the surface
of the reservoir, where the water pressure is light. A thick base
enables the. dam to 44withstand the more intense water pressure at
the bottom of the reservoir.

4. A buttress dam consists of a wall, or face, supported by several
buttresses on the downstream side. The vast majority of buttress
dams are made of concrete that is reinforced with steel. Buttresses are
typically spaced across the dam site every 6 to 30 m (20 to 100 ft),
depending upon the size and design of the dam. Buttress dams are
sometimes called hollow dams because the buttresses do not form a
solid wall stretching across a river valley.
Conerete
Figure 3 - 4: Gravity dam
_2. An embankment dam is a gravity dam formed out of loose rock,
earth, or a combination of these materials. The upstream and
downstream slopes of embankment dams are flatter than those of
concrete gravity dams. In essence, they more closely match the
natural slope of a pile of rocks or earth
3. Arch dams are concrete or masonry structures that curve upstream into
a reservoir, stretching from one wall of a river canyon to the other. This
design, based on the same principles as the architectural arch and vault,
transfers some water pressure onto the walls of the canyon. Arch dams
require a relatively narrow river canyon with solid rock walls capable
of withstanding a significant amount of horizontal thrust. These dams
do not need to be as massive as gravity dams because the canyon walls
carry part of the pressure exerted by the reservoir

To solve problems in buoyancy, identify the forces acting and apply conditions of static

STATICAL STABILITY OF FLOATING BODIES
A floating body is acted upon by two equal opposing forces. These are, the
body’s weight W (acting at its center of gravity) and its buoyant force BF
(acting at the center of buoyancy that is located at the center of gravity of t
displaced liquid)
When these forces are collinear as shown in Figure 3 - 10 (a), it floats in am
upright position. However, when the body tilts due to wind or wave action,
the center of buoyancy shifts to its new position as shown in Figure 3 - 10 (b)
and the two forces, which are no longer collinear, produces a couple equal to
W(x). The body will not overturn if this couple makes the body rotate towards
its original position as shown in Figure 3 - 10 (b), and will overturn if the
situation is as shown in Figure 3 - 10 (c).
lhe point of intersection between the axis of the body and the line of action of
the buoyant force is called the metacenter. The distance from the metacente
(M) to the center of gravity (G) of the body is called the metacentric height
(MG). It can be seen that a body is stable if M is above G as shown in Figure 3
- 10 (b), and unstable if M is below G as shown in Figure 3 - 10 (c) If M
coincides with G, the body is said to be just stable
