Fluids
Provide the following with SI Units
Density of Water?
Unit Weight of Water?
What temperature is the water for these equations
4 degrees centigrade
Fluids
What would be classified as a Fluid
Liquids and gasses are fluids
Fluids
What is the difference between a a fluid and a solid at a molecular level?
Can Fluids support shear?
Fluids Moleculse not tightly packed, where they are tightly packed in a solid.
FLuids can not support shear.
Fluids
What is Density?
Provide other name for it.
Density is mass per unit volume
Also called mass density
Fluids
What is specific weight?
Weight per unit volume
mass * gravity divided by volume
mass density * gravity
Fluids
Explain how density cahnges for gasses, fluids, and solids
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
Fluids
Specific Volume-
Volume per unit mass; or inverse of the density
not commonly used
Fluids
When we talk about density, the most important fluid we talk about is ______.
Density of Water standard is measured at ___ degrees centigrade.
Water
4 degrees centigrade
Fluids
What is Specific Gravity
Explain stipulations
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
Fluids
What are the 2 components when talking about Shear Stress for a fluid
The component normal (perpindicular) to the surface
the component the tangential to the surface
Fluids
What does Laninar mean for fluids
It means the fluid is moving in layers
Fluids
Other 2 names for viscosity
dynamic viscosity
absolute viscosity
All use the greek letter mu to signify them
Fluids
For a Newtonian Fluid, what is the shear stress-
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
Fluids
For anewtonian fluid, provide equation for viscosity
Viscosity is equal to the Shear stress divided by the shear deformation rate.
Fluids
What equation should be used for any fluid regardless iif it is newtonian or not (This is a Newton Law)
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
