Fluid Mechanics Flashcards
What is fluid mechanics?
it is science of pyhsical behaviour of fluids
In which parts can man divide fluids?
into Fluid statics and fluid dynamics
What’s the difference fluid statics and fluid dynamics?
Fluid statics is considers as resting fluid, while fluid dynamics is moving fluids
Why do we have to describe the flow processes of a fluid?
it helps to solve flow problems, designt of components through or around which flow occure and the flow monitoring
Which energy can be used to describe fluid movement?
convective energy, where impules and mass transport is related to the movement of matter (fluid)
What are properties of fluids?
- permanent change of the average position of the molecules to one another (Amorphous behaviour)
- it’s a continuum
- only compressive forces can be applied (no tensile nor shear forces)
- continuous deformation under the influence of shear force
why do we have continuous deformtion under the influence of shear force?
low shear stresses lead to a change in shape–> movement–>flow
why do we have just compressive forces?
because fluid doesn’t have any solid lattices
Learn to draw the figure on how to describe the forces between the static and moving plane
do you know how to draw it?
Which elements describe in the figure
Static , moving plane and water as the fluid
Can you explain when the moving plane moves?
the moving plane is push by a force, creating a velocity gradient, which is proportional to the force
How is the shear stress obtained?
know the equation
by diving the force by the area which is proportional to the velocity gradient
Defination of viscosity
it is the internal resistance against movement (resistance of growth)
what id the Newton’s law of viscosity?
it describe the relation between shear stress and rate of strain, which states that the shear stress is proportinal to the strain rate
Is the dynamic viscosity temperature dependent?
it depends on the state of the material.
what is the cause of viscosity?
it is the interchange of momentum between layers of fluid moving with different velocities due to the chaotic molecular motion
How does the viscosity changes in liquid and gases if temperature is increased?
For liquids, the viscosity descreases, while for gases it increases
Why does the viscosity in gases increase with increase of temperature?
in increase of temperature we have collision of molecules with different average velocities, impulse exchnage ad obtaining shear stress
Why is the viscosity of gases smaller than in liquid?
due to lower density, less molecular collisions, causes lower viscosity
Why is the vicsoity off liquids descreasing with increasing temperature?
with the increase of temperature, one increase the average distance between molecules, which decrease the intermolecular attractive forces.
Addtionally, the increase of T, leads to increase of the kinetic energy of molecues, which causes frequency of place changes
why is the vicsoity of gases increasing with increasing temperature?
increase in temperature , leads to an increase in molecular collisions, which increases the viscosity
Fluid statics, names the parts
Pressure in static fluid
communication vessels
Buoyance and sedimentation
draw the forces which arts in the static fluids
do you know it?
How can one describe the pressure forces in static fluids?
surface of volume elemnts is only affected by respective pressure forces of the neighbouring element
How can you describe the pressure force in the x-direction?
Know the equation
what other forces can affect the centr of the volume element?
Gravity, electrostatic, centrifugal or inertial froces
