IntroductionProperty – any characteristic of a system

E.g pressure P, temperature T, volume V, and mass m

Intensive propertiesProperties that are independent of the mass of a system e.g temperature, pressure, density

Extensive propertiesProperties whose values depend on size-or-extent-of the system e.g mass, total volume, total momentum

Specific propertiesExtensive properties per unit mass e.g specific volume (v=V/m) and specific total energy (e=E/m)

Continuum Concept of a FluidThe number of molecules involved is immense, and the separation between them is normally negligible by comparison with the distances involved in the practical situation being studiedAlthough the properties of a fluid arise from its molecular structure,engineering problem are usually concerned with the bulk behavior of fluidsUnder these conditions, it is usual to consider a fluid as a continuum - a hypothetical continuous substance – and the conditions at a point as the average of a very large number of molecules surrounding that point within a distance which is large compared with the mean intermolecular distance

SME 1313 Fluid Mechanics I

Vapor Pressure and CavitationPossibility of the liquid pressure in liquid-flow system dropping below the vapor pressure at some location, and resulting unplanned vaporizationA fluid vaporizes when its pressure gets too low, or its temperature too high. All centrifugal pumps have a required head (pressure) at the suction side of the pump to prevent this vaporization. Suction cavitation occurs when the pump suction is under a low pressure/high vacuum condition where the liquid turns into a vapor at the eye of the pump impeller. Cavitation must be avoided in flow systems since it reduces performance, generates vibration and noise and causes damage to the equipment

ViscosityViscosity is due to the internal frictional force that develops between different layers of fluids as they are forced to move relative to each otherGases

Viscosity is caused by molecular collisions Viscosity of gas increases with temperature

In a gas, molecular forces are negligible and the gas molecules at high temperatures move randomly at higher velocitiesThis results in more molecular collisions per unit volume per unit time, thus greater resistance to flow

The viscosity of a fluid is to be measured by viscometer constructed of two 40-cm-long concentric cylinders (Fig. 2-18).the outer diameter of the inner cylinder is 12 cm, and the gap between the two cylinders is 0.15 cm. The inner cylinder is rotated at 300 rpm, and the torque is measured to be 1.8 N.m. Determine the viscosity of the fluid

SOLUTION The torque and the rpm of a double cylinder viscometer are given. The viscosity of the fluid is to be determined

Assumptions 1) The inner cylinder is completely submerged in oil 2) The viscous effects on the two ends of the inner cylinder are negligible

Analysis The velocity profile is linear only when the curvature effects are negligible, and the profile can be approximated as being linear in this case since l/R<<1

Cohesive forces is forces between like molecules (water-water), adhesive forces is forces between unlike molecules (water-glass). Water molecules are more strongly attracted to the glass molecules than they are to other water molecules, and thus water tends to rise along the glass surface
