Fluid Mechanism Flashcards
Fluids
Matter that can flow, it includes liquid and gases
Density
Mass/Volume
Relative Density
Density of fluid/Density of water at 4 degree celsius
Specific Gravity
Specific weight of fluid/Specific weight of water at 4 degree celsius
Pressure
Force/Area
Isotropic Pressure
Pressure exerted by a liquid is same in all directions
Absolute Pressure(P)
Po(Air Pressure) + Hρg(Gauge Pressure)
Pascal’s Law
Pressure applied at any point of this confined liquid is equally transmitted to all the points
Hydrolic Life equation
F1/A1=F2/A2
In an accelering fluid, what is the relation between acceleration and g?
a = gtanθ
Buoyant force on the body is
Weight of the liquid displaced
Equation of Continuity
A1V1=A2V2
Velocity, time and range of efflux
v = root(2gh)
t = root(2(H-h)/g
Range = 2root(h(H-h))
