Q

Fluids

Explain how density cahnges for gasses, fluids, and solids

A

Gasses are highly compressible, so density is not cnstant; Gass density will depend on the temperature and pressure.

Fluids density is somewhat incompressible, so look at it as the density is constant

Solids the density are constant and inconpressable

Q

Fluids

What is Specific Gravity

Explain stipulations

A

Specific Gravity is the ratio of the density of 2 fuids.

Usually compared to water for liquid

Usually compared to air as standard temperatue and pressure.

Gasses use the STP= 0° C (273 Kelvin) 1 atmosphere

Water- STP is measured at 4° C; Density = 1000 kg.m3 and Unit wieght is= 9800 N/m3

Q

Fluids

For a Newtonian Fluid, what is the shear stress-

A

Shear stress is equal to the viscosity times the shear deformation rate

For a newtonian fluid the shear deformation rate is raised to 1; Loos at figure

If n is not 1, then it is a non-newtonian fluid

Q

Fluids

What equation should be used for any fluid regardless iif it is newtonian or not (This is a Newton Law)

A

Same equation for Newtonina, just uses k in place of mu for viscosity, and the shear deformation rate is raised to a power of n

Q

Fluids

For fluids that are non-newtonian, explain the n value, and name the 2.

What fluid kind of acts like a newtonian fluid, but requires a significant amount of shear stress before they begin moving

A

Pseudoplastic n < 1

dilatant n > 1

Bingham; Drilling mud is a good exaple; soft solids or thick liquids

17
Q

Fluids

Kinematic Viscosity

What euqatin is this uses in alot

A

Mu divided by rho

viscosity divided by density

used for reynolds number alot.

18
Q

Fluids

What does Surface Tension depend on?

A

depends on the properties of the fluids at the surface or interface

Between water and air then called surface

Between water and another material (like oil) then called interface

19
Q

Fluids

What is Cohesion and when is it more dominant?

What is adhesion and when is it it more dominant?

A

The fluid gos down in the tube when cohesion becasue the fluid wants to stay together.

Cohesion is more dominant when dealing with mercury

Adhesion the fluid likes the surface so raises in tubes.

Adhesion is more dominant when dealing with water

Water likes the glass more then it likes its own molecules

Angle Beta is the angle the fluid is making with the surface.

20
Q

Fluids

In fluid mechanics we always use what pressure?

A

Gauge pressure

21
Q

Fluids

Provide equation for absolute pressure.

A
22
Q

Fluids

Provide equation for Hydrostatic Pressure

A
23
Q

Fluids

What is a manometer used to measure

How do you measure?

A

Measures the pressure difference b/w 2 points.

Always start from one end (preferably open end) and preceed to the other end.

A differential manometer has 2 closed ends. Approach is still the same.

If the mamometer was open, the PB=0; There is atmospheric pressure, but only interested in gauge pressure which is zero

24
Q

Fluids

What do we use to measure atmospheric pressure

A

A Barometer

refer t0 pg 70 of ncees

Try to choos a liquid that the vapor pressure is so small you can igonore it (like mercury), or choos what you can find a value to like water (pg 70)

25
Q

Fluids

What is Average pressure?

What is Resultant Force?

A

What is Archimedes Principle for?

Equation-

A

For objects that are partially submerged.

28
Q

Fluids

When talking about archimedes prinicile, what must hold true for the object to be stable.

A

In order to be stable the center of gravity should always be below the center of buoyancy
