Unit1: Introduction
What we are meaning by Fluids?
Fluid may be defined as a substance which deforms continuously (flows)
when subjected to shearing forces, or
A fluid is a substance which capable of flowing
A fluid has no definite shape unless it is supported (conforms to the shape of the
containing vessel)
Mechanicsis the field of science focused on the force, energy, motion,
deformation interactions of material bodies based on their properties.
What are we meaning by Fluid Mechanics?
Fluid mechanics is the study of fluids, how they move, how they mix, how they
interact with or how they effect on the bodies submerged within, and how they
interact with and effect on the bodies that attached them and their reflections on
human activities.
Fluid mechanics may be defined also as that branch of engineering science that
deals with the behavior of fluid under the condition of rest and motion
Fluid mechanics may be divided into three parts: Statics, Kinematics, and
Dynamics
Statics Deals with fluid at rest in equilibrium state, no force no acceleration
Kinematics Deals With flow behaviors of fluid like velocity, acceleration and flow
patterns.
Dynamics Deals with the effects of flow behaviors on fluid surroundings like
forces and momentum exchange

The matter states
The matter or substance is classified on the bases of the spacing between the
molecules of the matter as follows:
๏ท In solids, the molecules are very closely spacing and then inter-molecules
cohesive forces is quite large, and then possess compactand rigid form.
๏ท Whereas in liquids these spacing are relatively large, and then less inter-
molecules cohesive forces between them, and then can move freely, but it still
has a definite volume (no definite shape, has free interface).
๏ท While these forces is extremely small in gasses, and then have greater
freedom of movement so that the gas fill the container completely in which
they are placed (no definite volume, no definite shape, and no free interface).

Mobility of
Molecules
Molecules have low
mobility because they
are bound in a structure
by strong intermolecular
forces
Liquids typically
flow easily even
though there are
strong
intermolecular forces
between molecules
Molecules move around
freely with little interaction
except during collisions;
this is why gases expand to
fill their container

System of units
MKS system of units
This is the system of units where the metre (m) is used for the unit of length,
kilogram (kg) for the unit of mass, and second (s) for the unit of time as the
base (primary) units.
CGS system of units
This is the system of units where the centimetre (cm) is used for length, gram
(g) for mass, and second (s) for time as the base (primary) units.
International system of units (SI)
SI, the abbreviation of La Systeme International dโUnites, is the system
developed from the MKS system of units. It is a consistent and reasonable
system of units which makes it a rule to adopt only one unit for each of the
various quantities used in such fields as science, education and industry.
There are seven fundamental SI units, namely: metre (m) for length,
kilogram (kg) for mass, second (s) for time, ampere (A) for electric
current, kelvin (K) for thermodynamic temperature, mole (mol) for mass
quantity and candela (cd) for intensity of light. Derived units consist of these
units.

5. Viscosity:it is a property of a real fluid (an ideal fluid has no viscosity) which
determine its resistance to shearing stresses. It is primarily due to cohesion,
adhesion and molecular momentum exchange between fluid layers.
1 - For solids, shear stress reflect on magnitude of
angular deformation (ฯ ~ angular deformation, ฮธ)
2 โ For many fluids shear stress is proportional to
the time rate of angular deformation (ฯ ~ dฮธ/dt)

6. Surface Tension: Surface tension is a property of liquids which is making what is
like a thin tensioned membrane at the interface between the liquid and another fluid
(typically a gas). Surface tension has dimensions of force per unit length and
denoted as, ฯ (Sigma), and its unit is N/m.

Surface Tension - Capillarity
๏ท Property of exerting forces on fluids by fine tubes and porous media, due to both
cohesion and adhesion (surface tension)
๏ท Cohesion < adhesion, liquid wets solid, rises at point of contact
18. Fluid Mechanics lectures and Tutorials 18
๏ท Cohesion > adhesion, liquid surface depresses at point of contact, non-wetting fluid
๏ท The contact angle is defined as the angle between the liquid and solid surface.
๏ท Capillarity is a fluid (liquid)-surface property

โ Expression above calculates the approximate capillary rise in a small tube
โ The meniscus lifts a small amount of liquid near the tube walls, as r increases this amount may
become insignificant
โ Thus, the equation developed overestimates the amount of capillary rise or depression,
particularly for large r.
โ For a clean tube, = 0o for water, = 140o for mercury
โ For r > ยผ in (6 mm), capillarity is negligible โ Its effects are negligible in most engineering
situations.
โ Important in problems involving capillary rise, e.g., soil water zone, water supply to plants
โ When small tubes are used for measuring properties, e.g., pressure, account must be made for
capillarity
Example 2: (Example 2.4 Textbook)
To what height above the reservoir level will water (at 20ยฐC) rise in a glass tube, such as
that shown in Figure below, if the inside diameter of the tube is 1.6 mm?
Problem Definition
Situation: A glass tube of small diameter placed in an open reservoir of water induces
capillary rise.
Find: The height the water will rise above the reservoir level.

Properties: Water (20 ยฐC), Table A.5, ฯ = 0.073 N/m; ฮณ = 9790 N/m3.
Plan
1. Perform a force balance on water that has risen in the tube.
2. Solve for ฮh.
Solution
1. Force balance: Weight of water (down) is balanced by surface tension force (up).
Because the contact angle ฮธ for water against glass is so small, it can be assumed to be
0ยฐ;
therefore cos ฮธ โ 1. Therefore:
2. Solve for ฮh

A clean tube of diameter 2.5 mm is immersed in a liquid with a coefficient of surface
tension = 0.4 N/m. the angle of contact of the liquid with the clean glass can be assumed to
be 135o. The density of the liquid= 13600 kg/m3. What would be the level of the liquid in
tube relative to free surface of the liquid inside the tube?
Solution:
Given d= 2.5 mm, ฯ= 4 N/m, = 135o; ฯ = 13600 kg/m3

The (fluid at rest), fluid statics, or hydrostatics
Pressure is defined as the ratio of normal force to area at a point, or may be
defined as the normal force thatโs applied toward the unit area, and
denoted by P. Its units are N/m2
or what is called Pascal, Pa.
Highlights
๏ท Fluid exerted, in general, both normal (due to their weights) and
shearing forces (primary due to their viscosity) on surfaces (any
plane) that are contacted with (or submerged in) it.
๏ท The normal forces that are exerted by fluid weights is called the
fluid pressure force and fluid pressure or intensity of fluid pressure.
So the pressure can be defined also as the weight of fluid
column intensity above a certain area.
๏ท The source of pressure and its effects and its variation of a fluid at
rest is due only to the weight of the fluid.
๏ท Pressure is a scalar quantity; that is, it has magnitude only.
๏ท Pressure is not a force; rather it is a scalar that produces a
resultant force by its action on an area.
๏ท The resultant force is normal to the area and acts in a direction
toward the surface (compressive).
๏ท Fluids at rest cannot resist a shear stress; in other words, when
a shear stress is applied to a fluid at rest, the fluid will not remain
at rest, but will move (flow) because of the shear stress.
๏ท Hydrostatics is the study of pressures throughout a fluid at rest
๏ท The controlling laws are relatively simple, and analysis is based on
a straight forward application of the mechanical principles of force
and moment.
22. Fluid Mechanics lectures and Tutorials 22
Pressure Units
๏ท Some units for pressure give a ratio of force to area. Newtons per
square meter of area, or pascals (Pa), is the SI unit. The
traditional units include psi, which is pounds-force per square inch,
and psf, which is pounds-force per square foot.
๏ท Other units for pressure give the height of a column of liquid.
Engineers state that the pressure in the balloon is 20 cm of water:
When pressure is given in units of โheight of a fluid column,โ the
pressure value can be directly converted to other units using Table

๏ท At a point, fluid at rest has the same
pressure in all direction.
To prove this, a small wedge-shaped free
body element is taken at the point
(x,y,z) in a fluid at rest.

๐ฟ๐ฅ๐ฟ๐ฆ๐ฟ๐ง โ ๐พ = 0 โฆ โฆ โฆ โฆ 2
For unit width of element in z direction, and from the geometry of wedge we
have the follows:
๐ฟ๐ โ ๐ ๐๐๐ = ๐ฟ๐ฆ , ๐๐๐ ๐ฟ๐ โ ๐๐๐ ๐ = ๐ฟ๐ฅ โฆ โฆ โฆ โฆ 3
Substitute of eq.3 in eqs. 1 and 2 and rearrange the terms yields:
๐๐ฅ = ๐๐
๐๐ฆ โ ๐ฟ๐ฅ = ๐๐ โ ๐ฟ๐ฅ +

๐ฟ๐ฆ๐ฟ๐ฅ โ ๐พ
At a point the element limits to have an infinitesimal dimensions and then we
can eliminate the term (

๐ฟ๐ฆ๐ฟ๐ฅ โ ๐พ) from the above equation because of itโs a
higher order of differential values. Thus we have at final that:
๐๐ฅ = ๐๐ = ๐๐ฆ
Where ๐ is an arbitrary angle, these results gives an important first principle of
hydrostatics:
At a point, fluid at rest has the same pressure in all direction.

Pressure variation:
๏ท For static fluid, pressure varies only with elevation (depth) change
within fluid.
To prove this real, we take a cubic fluid element as shown
While fluid at rest, applying the
equations of equilibrium on the
element. Thatโs yield:
1. In vertical direction-y:
โ ๐๐ฆ = ๐๐ฆ โ ๐ฟ๐ฅ๐ฟ๐ง โ (๐๐ฆ +
๐ฟ๐๐ฆ) โ ๐ฟ๐ฅ๐ฟ๐ง โ ๐ฟ๐ฅ๐ฟ๐ฆ๐ฟ๐ง โ ๐พ =

โ ๐ฟ๐ฅ๐ฟ๐ฆ๐ฟ๐ง โ ๐พ
= 0
โ ๐ฟ๐๐ฆ โ ๐ฟ๐ฅ๐ฟ๐ง = โ๐ฟ๐ฅ๐ฟ๐ฆ๐ฟ๐ง โ ๐พ
โ ๐ฟ๐๐ฆ = โ๐พ โ ๐ฟ๐ฆ
For certain fluid surface elevation, when the direction of ๐ฟ๐ฆ downward
away from surface (means in the negative direction of y), this called the
depth difference and denoted as ๐ฟh, so the last above equation
become:
๐ฟ๐๐ฆ = ๐พ โ ๐ฟโ
these results gives an important second principle of hydrostatics:
๏ท For static fluid, pressure varies only with elevation (depth) change
within fluid by rate equal to specific weight ๐พ of that fluid.
๏ท In a fluid, pressure decreases linearly with increase in elevation (height,
y or z) and versa visa.
๏ท In most textbooks and reference applications, they are use z-coordinate
instead of y-coordinate as vertical direction axis so:
โ๐๐ฆ = โ๐พ โ โ๐ฆ becomes โ๐๐ง = โ๐พ โ โ๐ง
๏ท Second principle of hydrostatics means that for any two point in a same
continuous fluid A and B:
โ๐๐ดโ๐ต = โ๐พ โ โ๐ง๐ดโ๐ต
๐๐ต โ ๐๐ด = โ๐พ โ (๐ง๐ต โ ๐ง๐ด)
๐๐ต
๐พ

๏ท This is the hydrostatics equation

pressure head or what is called piezometric head. With liquids we
normally measure from the surface.
๏ท Open free surface pressure in liquids mostly is atmospheric, Patmospheric.
๏ท For constant density fluids, and if taking the free surface pressure
(atmospheric pressure, Patmospheric) as zero, the pressure at any depth h
becomes:
๐โ = ๐พ โ โ
๏ท Thus โ =
๐โ
๐พ
๏ท Pressure related to the depth, h, of a fluid column referred to as the
pressure head, h.
2. In horizontal direction-x:
โ ๐๐ฅ = ๐๐ฅ โ ๐ฟ๐ฆ๐ฟ๐ง โ (๐๐ฅ + ๐ฟ๐๐ฅ) โ ๐ฟ๐ฆ๐ฟ๐ง = 0
๐๐ฅ โ ๐ฟ๐ฆ๐ฟ๐ง โ ๐๐ฅ โ ๐ฟ๐ฆ๐ฟ๐ง โ ๐ฟ๐๐ฅ โ ๐ฟ๐ฆ๐ฟ๐ง = 0
โ ๐ฟ๐๐ฅ = 0
This equation means there is no change in horizontal pressure with horizontal
direction.
These results gives an important third principle of hydrostatics:
๏ท For certain continuous static fluid, there is no pressure change in
horizontal direction (explain!)
The above mentioned principles is called Pascal principles.

Example 2:
A freshwater lake, has a maximum depth of 60m, and the mean atmospheric
pressure is 91 kPa. Estimate the absolute pressure in kPa at this maximum
depth.
Solution
Take ฮณ = 9790 N/m3
. With pa = 91 kPa and h = 60 m, the pressure at this
depth will be
p = 91 kN/m2
+ (9790 N/m3
)(60 m) 1kN/1000N
= 91 kPa + 587 kN/m2
= 678 kPa Ans.
By omitting Patm we could state the result as p = 587 kPa (gage).
Example 3: (EXAMPLE 3.1 LOAD LIFTED BY A HYDRAULIC JACK)
A hydraulic jack has the dimensions shown. If one exerts a force F of 100 N
on the handle of the jack, what load, F2, can the jack support? Neglect lifter
weight.
Problem Definition
Situation: A force of F = 100 N is applied to the handle of a jack.
Find: Load F2 in kN that the jack can lift.
Assumptions: Weight of the lifter component (see sketch) is negligible.
Plan
1. Calculate force acting on the small piston by applying moment equilibrium.
2. Calculate pressure p1 in the hydraulic fluid by applying force equilibrium.
3. Calculate the load F2 by applying force equilibrium.
Solution
1. Moment equilibrium
2. Force equilibrium (small piston)
27. Fluid Mechanics lectures and Tutorials 27
Thus
3. Force equilibrium (lifter)
ยท Note that p1 = p2 because they are at the same elevation.
ยท Apply force equilibrium:
๏ท The jack in this example, which combines a lever and a hydraulic machine,
provides an output force of 12,200 N from an input force of 100 N. Thus,
this jack provides a mechanical advantage of 122 to 1 !

Pressure Measurements.
โPressure measurement reads as follows:
1. Relative to absolute zero (perfect vacuum): called absolute pressure
2. Relative to atmospheric pressure: called gage (gauge) pressure
โIf P < Patm , we call it a vacuum (or negative or suction) pressure ,
its gage value = how much below atmospheric
โAbsolute pressure values are all positive
โWhile gage pressures may be either:
โ Positive: if above atmospheric, or
โ Negative (vacuum, suction): if below atmospheric
๏ท Relationship between absolute, gage and atmospheric pressure
reading:
Pabs = Patm + Pgage

Pressure measurement devices:
Absolute pressure measurement
Barometers: The instrument used to measure atmospheric pressure is called
barometer
1. Mercury Barometer: which is illustrated in figure below, which consist of
a one meter length tube filled with mercury and inverted into a pan
thatโs filled partially with mercury. The height difference of mercury in
inverted tube respect to outside them reads the atmospheric pressure
value (first was invented by E. Torricelli, 1643).

pressure
34. Fluid Mechanics lectures and Tutorials 34
Gage pressure measurement:
1. Manometry
1.1. Piezometer
For measuring pressure inside a vessel or pipe in
which liquid is there, a tube open at the top to
atmosphere may be attached, tapped, to the walls of
the container (or pipe or vessel) containing liquid at a
pressure (higher than atmospheric) to be measured,
so liquid can rise in the tube. By determining the
height to which liquid rises and using the relation P1 =
ฯgh, gauge pressure of the liquid can be determined.
Such a device is known as piezometer. To avoid
capillary effects, a piezometer's tube should be about
12mm or greater.
1.2. Manometers
The using of piezometers for high pressures
measurement become impractical and it is useless
for pressure measurement in gases and negative
pressure. The manometers in its various forms is an
extremely useful type of pressure measuring
instrument for these cases.
๏ท Professor John Foss (Michigan State
University) Procedure for manometers
pressure calculation:
๐ท๐ ๐๐๐ = ๐ท๐๐
+ ๐ธ๐
๐ท๐๐
= ๐ท๐ ๐๐๐ โ ๐ธ๐
Or for successive manometers we can use the
following formula:
where ๐พ๐ and hi are the specific weight and
deflection in each leg of the manometer
When liquids and gases are both involved in a manometer problem, it is well
within engineering accuracy to neglect the pressure changes due to the columns
of gas. This is because
35. Fluid Mechanics lectures and Tutorials 35
Manometers limitations: manometers suffers from a number of limitations.
1. While it can be adapted to measure very small pressure differences, it
cannot be used conveniently for large pressure differences - although
it is possible to connect a number of manometers in series and to use
mercury as the manometric fluid to improve the range. (limitation)
2. A manometer does not have to be calibrated against any standard; the
pressure difference can be calculated from second and third principles
in hydrostatics. ( Advantage)
3. Some liquids are unsuitable for use because they do not form well-
defined interface. Surface tension can also cause errors due to
capillary rise; this can be avoided if the diameters of the tubes are
sufficiently large - preferably not less than 12 mm diameter.
(limitation)
4. A major disadvantage of the manometer is its slow response, which
makes it unsuitable for measuring fluctuating pressures
5. It is essential that the pipes connecting the manometer to the pipe or
vessel containing the liquid under pressure should be filled with this
liquid and there should be no air bubbles in the liquid.(limitation).
2. Bourdon gage
Curved tube of elliptical cross-section changes curvature with changes
in pressure. Moving end of tube rotates a hand on a dial through a
linkage system. Pressure indicated by gage graduated in kPa or kg/cm2
(=98.0665 kPa) or psi or other pressure units.

Example1: (Piezometers)
In figure pressure gage A reads 1.5 kPa. The
fluids are at 20o
C. Determine the elevations z,
in meters, of the liquid levels in the open
piezometer tubes B and C.
Example 2: (U-manometers)
Water at 10ยฐC is the fluid in
the pipe of Fig. 3.11, and
mercury is the manometer
fluid. If the deflection ฮh is 60
cm and l is 180 cm, what is the
gage pressure at the center of
the pipe?

The Buoyant Force
A buoyant force is defined as the upward force that is produced on a body that is
totally or partially submerged in a fluid. Buoyant forces are significant for most
problems as surface ships. In Fig. 3.10a shown, consider a body ABCD submerged
in a liquid of specific weight ฦ. The pressures acting on the lower portion of the
body create an upward force equal to the weight of liquid needed to fill the volume
above surface ADC.
Fig. 3.10
The upward force is
As shown by Fig. 3.10a, pressures acting on the top surface of the body create a
downward force equal to the weight of the liquid above the body:
Subtracting the downward force from the upward force gives the buoyant force FB
acting on the body:
Hence, the buoyant force (FB) equals the weight of liquid that would be needed to
occupy the volume of the body.
The body that is floating as shown in Fig. 3.10b. Pressure acts on curved surface
ADC causing an upward force equal to the weight of liquid that would be needed to
fill volume VD (displaced volume). The buoyant force is given by
65. Fluid Mechanics lectures and Tutorials 65
Hence, the buoyant force equals the weight of liquid that would be needed to
occupy the volume VD. We can write a single equation for the buoyant force:
Stability of Immersed Bodies
When a body is completely immersed in a liquid, its stability depends on the
relative positions of the center of gravity of the body and the centroid of the
displaced volume of fluid, which is called the center of buoyancy.
โข If the center of buoyancy is above the center of gravity (Fig. 3.11a), any
tipping of the body produces a righting couple, and consequently, the body
is stable.
โข If the center of gravity is above the center of buoyancy (Fig. 3.11c), any
tipping produces an increasing overturning moment, thus causing the body
to turn through 180ยฐ.
โข Finally, if the center of buoyancy and center of gravity are coincident, the
body is neutrally stableโthat is, it lacks a tendency for righting or for
overturning, as shown in Fig. 3.11b.
Fig. 3.11
Stability Floating Bodies
The stability for floating bodies than for immersed bodies is very important
because the center of buoyancy may take different positions with respect to the
center of gravity, depending on the shape of the body and the position in which it is
floating. When the center of gravity G is above the center of buoyancy C (center of
displaced volume) for floating body, the body will be stable and equilibrium. The
reason for the change in the center of buoyancy for the ship is that part of the
66. Fluid Mechanics lectures and Tutorials 66
original buoyant volume, as shown in Fig.3.12 by the wedge shape AOB, is
transferred to a new buoyant volume EOD. Because the buoyant center is at the
centroid of the displaced volume, it follows that for this case the buoyant center
must move laterally to the right. The point of intersection of the lines of action of
the buoyant force before and after heel is called the metacenter M, and the distance
GM is called the metacentric height.
โข If GM is positiveโthat is, if M is above G, the body is stable
โข If GM is negative, the body is unstable.
Fig.3.12
Consider the prismatic body shown in Fig. 3.12, which has taken a small angle of
heel ๐ผ๐ผ. First evaluate the lateral displacement of the center of buoyancy CCโ, then
it will be easy by simple trigonometry to solve for the metacentric height GM or to
evaluate the righting moment.
The righting couple =๐๐๐๐๐๐ sin ๐ผ๐ผ
Where : W is weight of body and ๐ผ๐ผ angle of heel.

73. Equilibrium of accelerated fluid masses
If a body of fluid is moved at a constant velocity, then it obeys the
equations .derived earlier for static equilibrium
If a body of fluid is accelerated such that, after some time, it has adjusted so that
there are no shearing forces, there is no motion between fluid particles, and it
moves as a solid block, then the pressure distribution within the fluid can be
described by equations similar to those applying to static fluids.

Uniform rotation about a vertical axis:
If liquid is placed in a container and rotated about a vertical axis at a constant
angular velocity, then after some time it will move as a solid body with no
shearing of the fluid. Under such conditions the liquid is said to be moving as a
"forced vortex" with velocity q = ๏ท r at any radius r from the axis. [This contrasts
with "free-vortex" motion in which the fluid velocity varies inversely with
distance from the axis of rotation.]
With ๏ท constant, all fluid experiences an acceleration ๏ท2

Fluid flow
Motion (flowing) of a fluid mass
accrues when it is subjected to
unbalanced forces that reveal if the
fluid mass was subjected to
hydraulic gradient (e.g. tilting of
free surface by certain angle or
connect two containers have
different levels). This means that
fluid mass lies under an acceleration
toward its flow direction. This
motion continues as long as unbalanced forces are applied.
Flow is defined as the quantity (mass or volume) of fluid (gas, liquid or vapour)
that passes a point (section) per unit time. A simple equation to represent this
is:
๐ญ๐๐๐ =
๐ธ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐
๐๐๐๐
Flow Classification (Flow pattern)
Having introduced the general concepts of flow patterns, it is convenient to
make distinctions between different types of flows. These concepts can be best
introduced by expressing the velocity of the fluid in the form:
๐ฝ = ๐ฝ(๐, ๐)
where s is the distance traveled by a fluid particle along a path, and t is the
time.
๏ Uniform or Non-uniform
๏ท A uniform flow is a flow in which the velocity does not change along a
streamline, i.e. 0

๏ Combining the above we can classify any flow into one of four types:
๏ท Steady uniform flow. Conditions do not change with position in the stream
or with time. An example is the flow of water in a pipe of constant diameter
at constant velocity or discharge (flow rate).
๏ท Steady non-uniform flow. Conditions change from point to point in the
stream but do not change with time. An example is flow in a tapering pipe
with constant velocity at the inlet - velocity will change as you move along
the length of the pipe toward the exit.
๏ท Unsteady uniform flow. At a given instant in time the conditions at every
point are the same, but will change with time. An example is a pipe of
constant diameter connected to a pump pumping at a constant rate which
is then switched off or in open/close valves.
๏ท Unsteady non-uniform flow. Every condition of the flow may change from
point to point and with time at every point. An example is surface waves in
an open channel.

Flow Equations
Equation of Continuity
The application of the principle of conservation of mass to fluid flow in a
stream tube results in the "equation of continuity' expressing the continuity of
the flow from point to point along the stream tube. If the cross-sectional areas
and average velocities at sections 1 and 2 in the stream tube of Fig. 31 are
designated by A1, A2, V1and V2, respectively, the .quantity of fluid passing
section 1 per unit of time will be expressed by A1V1, and the mass of fluid
passing section 1 per unit of time will be ๐ด๐ด1๐๐1๐๐1. Similarly, the mass of fluid
passing section 2 will be๐ด๐ด2๐๐2๐๐2, Obviously, no fluid mass is being created or
destroyed between sections 1 and 2, and therefore
89. Fluid Mechanics lectures and Tutorials 89
๐ด๐ด1๐๐1๐๐1 = ๐ด๐ด2๐๐2๐๐2 โฆโฆ4.1
Fig. 4.6
Thus the mass of fluid passing any point in a streamtube per unit of time is the
same.
โข If this equation is multiplied by g, the acceleration due to gravity, there
results giving the equation of continuity in terms of weight.
๐ด๐ด1๐๐1๐๐1 = ๐ด๐ด2๐๐2๐๐2 โฆโฆ4.2
The product will be found to have units of N/s and is termed the "weight rate of
flow" or "weight flow."

negligible, W1=W2 , resulting in
๐ด๐ด1๐๐1 = ๐ด๐ด2๐๐2 = ๐๐ โฆโฆ4.3

The three equations above are valid for incompressible, frictionless

along a streamline.
The first of these forms of the Bernoulli equation is a measure of energy
per unit mass, the second of energy per unit volume, and the third of
"head", equivalent to energy per unit weight.
In the second equation, the term p is the static pressure, {ยฝฯv2
} is the
dynamic pressure, ฯgz is the elevation term, and the SUM of all three is
known as the stagnation (or total) pressure, p0
Bernoulliโs equation
(for ideal, steady

In the third equation:
๏ท p/ฯg is known as the pressure head (or flow work head or flow energy
head), which is the work done to move fluid against pressure,

piezometer tube
โข In an open-channel flow the HGL is identical to the free surface of the
water.
โข The EGL will drop slowly due to friction losses and will drop sharply
due to a substantial loss (a valve or obstruction) or due to work extraction
(to a turbine).
โข The EGL can rise only if there is work addition (as from a pump or
propeller).
โข The HGL generally follows the behavior of the EGL with respect to
losses or work transfer, and it rises and/or falls if the velocity decreases
and/or increases.

106. 5) Notches and Weirs
A weir is a vertical barrier in the side of a tank or reservoir. The liquid is flow
over the weir with free surface. It is a device for measuring discharge. It is used
as both a discharge measuring device and a device to raise water levels. There
are many different designs of weir depending on the shape of weir opening. It
may be rectangular, trapezoidal or triangular weir. The weirs also classified
according its crest width to sharp crested weir, broad crested weir and ogee
weir. The sharp crested rectangular weir may be contracted when the length of
weir opening is less than the channel width or suppress when the length of weir
is equal to channel width.
Fig. 4.9
Weir Assumptions
โข velocity of the fluid approaching the weir is small so we can ignore kinetic
energy.
โข The velocity in the flow depends only on the depth below the free surface.
A General Weir Equation
Consider a horizontal strip of width b, depth h below the free surface
Fluid Mechanics lectures and Tutorials 106
107. velocity through the strip,
discharge through the strip,
Integrating from the free surface, h = 0, to the weir crest, h = H, gives the total
theoretical discharge
This is different for every differently shaped weir or notch. We need an
expression relating the width of flow across the weir to the depth below the free
surface
Rectangular Weir
The width does not change with depth so,
Substituting this into the general weir equation gives
To get the actual discharge we introduce a coefficient of discharge, Cd, to
account for losses at the edges of the weir and contractions in the area of flow,
Fluid Mechanics lectures and Tutorials 107
108. โVโ Notch Weir
The relationship between width and depth is dependent on the angle of the โVโ.
The width, b, depth, h, from the free surface relationshipis
So the discharge is
The actual discharge is obtained by introducing a coefficient of discharge

109. Example 1: Water enters the Millwood flood storage area via a rectangular
weir when the river height exceeds the weir crest. For design purposes a flow
rate of 0.163 m3
/s over the weir can be assumed
1. Assuming a height over the crest of 200mm and Cd=0.2, what is the necessary
width, B, of the weir?
2. What will be the velocity over the weir at this design?

Example 2: Water is flowing over a 90o โVโ Notch weir into a tank with a is
cross-sectional area of 0.6m2. After 30s the depth of the water in the tank 1.5m.

110. Nozzle flow
Fig. 4.9
The pressure of all points of liquid jet outside the nozzle is equal to
atmospheric pressure. So, it will be equal to zero when the atmospheric
pressure is the reference pressure. Then, the Bernoulliโs equation between
points 1 and 2 in Fig. 4.9 can be written as:
The velocity components for Vn are:
๐๐
๐ฅ๐ฅ = ๐๐

Therefore, for point 1: ๐๐1๐ฅ๐ฅ = ๐๐
๐๐ cos ๐๐ and ๐๐1๐ฆ๐ฆ = ๐๐
๐๐ sin ๐๐
For point 2: ๐๐2๐ฅ๐ฅ = ๐๐
๐๐ cos ๐๐ and ๐๐2๐ฆ๐ฆ = 0, so, ๐๐2 = ๐๐
๐๐ cos ๐๐,
which mean that the horizontal velocity component is constant along the

The energy line of liquid flow through turbine drops down directly due to
consumption of energy by turbine which call turbine head (ht) . While the
energy line of liquid flow through pump rises up directly due to adding of
energy to the flow by pump which call pump head (hp). So, the Bernoulliโs

115. Momentum Equation
The Momentum equation is a statement of Newtonโs Second Law. It
relates the sum of the forces to the acceleration or rate of change of
momentum. From solid mechanics you will recognize
F = ma
What mass of moving fluid we should use?
We use a different form of the equation.
Consider a stream tube and assume steady non-uniform flow:
In time ฮดt a volume of the fluid moves from the inlet a distance v1ฮดt, so
volume entering the stream tube = area ร distance
=A1v1ฮดt
The mass entering,
mass entering stream tube = volume density
=ฯ A1 v1 ฮดt
And momentum
momentum entering stream tube = mass velocity
= ฯ A1 v1 ฮดt v1
Similarly, at the exit, we get the expression:
momentum leaving stream tube = ฯ A2 v2 ฮดt v2
By another reading of Newtonโs 2nd
Law.

The previous analysis assumed the inlet
and outlet velocities in the same

What happens when this is not the
case?
We consider the forces by resolving in
the directions of the co-ordinate axes.
The force in the x-direction
And the force in the y-direction
The resultant force can be found by combining
these components

117. This hydrodynamic force exerted on fluid mass due to time rate of change
of the linear momentum of the system is countered with other external
forces exist within control volume (i.e. pressure forces and body forces and
thrust to result an excess action force that exerted on any solid body
touching the control volume, R:
FB = Force exerted due to fluid body (e.g. gravity)
FP = Force exerted on the fluid control volume due to fluid pressure at the
open fluid edges of the control volume
FR = Force exerted on the fluid by any solid body touching the control
volume
So we say that the total force, FT, is given by the sum of these forces:
FT = FR + FB + FP
The force exerted by the fluid on the solid body touching the control volume
is opposite to FR (action force).
So the reaction force, R, is given by
R = -FR

123. Example-1: Forces on a vertical Bend
The outlet pipe from a pump is a bend of 45o
rising in the vertical plane
(i.e. and internal angle of 135o
). The bend is 150mm diameter at its inlet
and 300mm diameter at its outlet. The pipe axis at the inlet is horizontal
and at the outlet it is 1m higher. By neglecting friction, calculate the force
and its direction if the inlet pressure is 100kN/m2
and the flow of water
through the pipe is 0.3m3
/s. The volume of the pipe is 0.075m3

Example-1
A cylindrical metal container 60 cm high with an inside diameter of 27 cm, weights
22N when empty. The container is placed on a scale and water flows in through an
opening in the top and out through the two equal area 45o-deflection openings in the
sides as shown in the diagram. Under steady flow conditions the height of the water
in the tank is h = 58 cm. Your friend claims that the scale will read the weight of the
volume of water in the tank plus the tank weight, i.e., that we can treat this as a
simple statics problem. You disagree, claiming that a flow analysis is required. Who
is right, and what is the scale reading in Newtons
