    What is Fluid?

    By definition, a fluid is any material that is unable to withstand a staticshear stress.

    Unlike an elastic solid which responds to a shear stress with arecoverable deformation, a fluid responds with an irrecoverable flow.

    Examples of fluids include gases and liquids.

    Concepts and Definitions- fluids (liquid and gas)

    A liquid takes the shape of thecontainer it is in and forms a freesurface in the presence of gravity

    A gas expands until it encountersthe walls of the container and fillsthe entire available space. Gasescannot form a free surface

    Gas and vapor are often used assynonymous words

    Concepts and Definitions

    Intermolecular bonds are strongest in

    solids and weakest in gases. One

    reason is that molecules in solids are

    closely packed together,

    Whereas in gases they are separated

    by relatively large distances

    On a microscopic scale, pressure is

    determined by the interaction ofindividual gas molecules.

    Why is fluid so useful in engineering applications?

    Typically, liquids are considered to be incompressible.

    That is once you place a liquid in a sealed container you can DOWORK on the FLUID as if it were an object.

    The PRESSURE you apply is transmitted throughout the liquidand over the entire length of the fluid itself.

    Civil Engineering Applications

    Fluid mechanics is involved in nearly all areas of CivilEngineering either directly or indirectly. Some examples ofdirect involvement are those where we are concerned withmanipulating the fluid:

    Sea and river (flood) defences; Water distribution / sewerage (sanitation) networks;

    Hydraulic design of water/sewage treatment works;

    Dams;

    Irrigation;

    Pumps and Turbines;

    Water retaining structures.

    Civil Engineering Applications

    And some examples where the primary object is construction -yet analysis of the fluid mechanics is essential:

    Flow of air in / around buildings; Bridge piers in rivers;

    Ground-water flow.

    Notice how nearly all of these involve water. The following course, although introducing general fluid flow ideas and

    principles, will demonstrate many of these principles through exampleswhere the fluid is water.

    Characteristics of Fluids

    Although the differences between solids and

    fluids can be explained qualitatively on the

    basis of molecular structure; a more specificdistinction is based on how they deform under

    the action of an external load

    Concepts and Definitions

    A solid can resist an applied shear stress by deforming,whereas a fluid deforms continuously under the influenceof shear stress, no matter however small is the stress.

    In solids stress is proportional tostrain, but in fluids stressis proportional tostrain rate.

    When a constant shear force is applied, a solid eventuallystops deforming, at some fixed strain angle, whereas afluid never stops deforming and approaches a certain rateof strain.

    Concepts and Definitions

    In the analysis of fluids, we often take small volumes(elements) and examine the forces on these

    Forces acting along edges (faces), such as F, are know as

    shearing forces

    A fluid is a substance which deforms continuously,

    or f lows, when subjected to shearing forces of any magni tude.

    Shear Stress in moving fluid

    Course: CE F212 Transport Phenomena 3 0 3

    21

    If fluid is in motion, shear stress are developed if the particles ofthe fluid move relative to each other. Adjacent particles havedifferent velocities, causing the shape of the fluid to becomedistorted

    On the other hand, the velocity of the fluid is the same at everypoint, no shear stress will be produced, the fluid particles are atrest relative to each other.

    Dimensions

    Fluid characteristics can be described qualitatively in terms of certain basic(primary) quantities such as length [L], time [T], mass [M] and

    temperature []

    Quantitative description requires both a number and a standard by whichvarious quantities can be compared

    A standard for length might be a meter or foot, for time an hour or second,and for mass a slug or kilogram; such standards are called units,

    The primary quantities can be used to describe any other secondary quantity.Example:

    A[L2], Velocity[LT-1], Density[ML-3]

    Dimensional homogeneity

    Dimensionally homogeneous equations: All theoretically derived equations are dimensionallyhomogeneous

    Dimensions of the left side of the equation must be the same as those on the right side, and alladditive separate terms must have the same dimensions. Example

    V=V0+at

    (LT-1=LT-1+LT-2 T)

    Restricted homogeneous equations: equations that are restricted to a particular system of units.Example

    d=4.9t2

    General homogeneous equations: valid in any system of units. ExampleF=ma

    Analysis of Fluid Behaviour

    The study of transport phenomenon involves some fundamentallaws you must have encountered in physics and mechanicsbefore, like Newtons laws of motion

    Conservation of mass

    Conservation of energy Hence, this is indeed helpful since many of the concepts and

    techniques of analysis used in this subject will be ones you haveencountered before

    The broad aspects of transport phenomenon can be subdivided

    into fluid statics (fluid at rest) and fluid dynamics (fluid inmotion)

    However before moving towards the broader aspects, it isnecessary to review certain fluid properties that are intimatelyrelated to fluid behaviour

    Suppose a Fluid (such as a liquid) is atREST, we call this HYDROSTATICPRESSURE

    Two important points

    A fluid will exert a pressure in alldirections

    A fluid will exert a pressureperpendicular to any surface it contacts

    Notice that

    The arrows on TOP of the objects are smallerthan at the BOTTOM.

    This is because pressure is greatly affected by theDEPTH of the object.

    Since the bottom of each object is deeper than thetop, the pressure is greater at the bottom.

    Suppose we had an object submerged in

    water with the top part touching the

    object, we would have three forces

    1. The weight of the object

    2. The force of the atmosphere pressing

    down

    3. The force of the water pressing up

    Viscosity

    Viscosity is a measure of a fluid's resistance to flow

    Newtonian Fluids: A fluid that behaves according toNewton's law, with a viscosity (absolute or dynamic orsimply viscosity) that is independent of the stress, is said to

    be Newtonian.

    Gases, water and many common liquids can be considered

    Newtonian in ordinary conditions and contexts. Most of the common fluids (water, air, oil, etc.) Also called Linear fluids

    Viscosity

    non-Newtonian Fluids: There are many fluids thatsignificantly deviate from that law in some way orother. For example:

    Viscosity

    Kinematic viscosity , Shear thinning fluids the apparent viscosity decreases

    with increasing shear rate; the harder the fluid is sheared,the less viscous it becomes.

    Examples - many colloidal suspensions and polymersolutions are shear thinning. For example, latex paint doesnot drip from the brush because the shear rate is small and

    the apparent viscosity is large. However, it flows smoothlyonto the wall because the thin layer of paint between thewall and the brush causes a large shear rate and a smallapparent viscosity.

    Compression and Expansion of Gases

    When gases are compressed (or expanded) the relationshipbetween pressure and density depends on the nature of the

    process

    At constant temperature conditions (isothermal process), the following

    condition holds

    If compression or expansion is frictionless and no heat is exchanged

    with the surroundings (isentropic process), then

    Where k is the ratio of the specific heat at constant pressure (cp), to the

    specific heat at constant volume, (cv) (i.e., )

    Two specific heats are related to the gas constant R, through the equation

    It is to be noted that in both the cases, the bulk modulusvaries directly with pressure

    For air under standard atmospheric conditions with p=14.7psi (abs) and k=1.40, the isentropic bulk modulus is Ev=20.6

    psi For water under the same conditions shows Ev=312,000 psi.

    comparing the both, it shows that air is approximately15,000 times as compressible as water

    NOTE: dealing with gases needs greater attention becauseof the significant effect of compressibility on fluidbehaviour; however under small pressure changes, gasescan also be treated as incompressible

    It can fracture rock by producing an effect comparable toa conventional explosive such as gunpowder

    At the ultrahigh pressures used (300 to 400 Mpa, or 3000 to4000 atmospheres), the water is compressed by about 10 to15%

    When a fast opening valve within the pressure vessel isopened, the water expands and produces a jet of water thatupon impact with the target material produces an effectsimilar to the explosive force from conventional explosives.

    Vapor pressure

    Since this depends upon molecular activity, which is afunction of temperature, the vapor pressure of a fluid alsodepends on its temperature and increases with it.

    If the pressure above a liquid reaches the vapor pressureof the liquid, boiling occurs; for example if the pressureis reduced sufficiently, boiling may occur at roomtemperature.

    NOTE: it can be observed that liquids like waterand gasoline will evaporate if they are simply

    placed in a container open to the atmosphere

    Vapor pressure

    Cavitation: when vapor bubblesare formed in a flowing fluidthey are swept along into regionsof higher pressure where they

    suddenly collapse withsufficient intensity to actuallycause structural damage. Theformation and subsequentcollapse of vapor bubbles in aflowing fluid called cavitation isan important transportphenomena

    Engineering significance of vapor pressure

    In a closed hydraulic system, Ex. in pipelines orpumps, water vaporizes rapidly in regions wherethe pressure drops below the vapor pressure.

    Cavitationscan affect the performance of hydraulicmachinery such as pumps, turbines and propellers,and the impact of collapsing bubbles can causelocal erosion of metal surface.

    Cavitationsin a closed hydraulic system can beavoided by maintaining the pressure above thevapor pressure everywhere in the system.

    Surface tension

    Course: CE F212 Transport Phenomena 3 0 3

    55

    At the interface between a liquid and a gas, or betweentwo immiscible liquids, forces develop in the liquid

    surface which cause the surface to behave as if it were a

    skin ormembrane stretched over the fluid mass.

    Although such a skin is actually not present, this

    conceptual analogy allows us to explain several commonly

    observed phenomena.

    Surface tension

    The cohesive forcesbetween liquid molecules are responsible for the phenomenon known

    as surface tension.The molecules at the surface do not have other like molecules on all sides of them and

    consequently they cohere more strongly to those directly associated with them on the

    surface.

    This forms a surface "film" which makes it more difficult to move an object through the

    surface than to move it when it is completely submersed.

    The cohesive forces between

    molecules down into a liquid areshared with all neighboring atoms.

    Surface tension

    Wetting fluid: if the adhesion of the molecules to the solid surface is strong compared to thecohesion between molecules, the liquid will wet the surface and the level in a tube placed in a

    wetting liquid will actually be rised

    Non-wetting fluid: if the adhesion of the molecules to the solid surface is weak compared to

    the cohesion between molecules, the liquid will not wet the surface and the level in a tube

    placed in a non-wetting liquid will actually be depressed

    Surface tension: the intensityof the molecular attraction per

    unit length along any line in

    the surface and is designated

    by the Greek symbol .

    The force due to surface tension = The force due to pressure difference

    Where pi is the internal pressure

    and pe is the external pressure

    Surface Tension Effects

    Surface tension effects play a role in many fluid mechanics problems

    including the

    movement of liquids through soil and other porous media,

    flow of thin film,

    formation of drops and bubbles, andthe breakup of liquid Jets.

    Surface phenomena associated with liquid-gas, liquid-liquid or

    liquid-gas-solid interfaces are exceedingly complex.

    How they propel themselves atsuch a high speed???

    Each stroke creates dimples on the surface with

    underwater swirling vortices sufficient to propel itforward

    It is the rearward motion of the vortices that propels

    water strider forward

    Spreading of oil spills

    Course: CE F212 Transport Phenomena 3 0 3

    64

    Oil spills are frequent occurrence and creates a disastrousenvironmental problem

    Most oils tend to spread horizontally into a smooth and slipperysurface called slick

    Spread of oil slick is influenced by size of spill, wind speed-direction

    and the physical properties of oil These properties include surface tension, specific gravity and

    viscosity

    Higher the surface tension, more likely the spread will remain in theplace

    Oil (with Sp Gr less than one), increases its Sp Gr, if the lightercomponent evaporates from the oil

    Higher the viscosity of the oil, greater the tendency to stay in one place
