CHAPTER 1
PROPERTIES OF FLUIDS
1.1 Introduction
Fluids mechanics deals with study of fluids-liquid and gases. The study can
be behavior of liquid fluids at rest (static) and in motion (dynamic). The study of
fluid mechanics is important because our life depend on them. The air we breathe,
flight of birds in air, the motion of fish in water, circulation of blood in veins of
human body, flow of oil and gas in pipelines, transportation of water in pipe, all
follow the principles of fluid mechanics. Engineers have applied these principles in
the design of dams, construction of ships, airplanes, turbo-machinery etc. Fluids in
motion are potential sources of energy and can be converted into useful wor to drive
a water turbine or windmill. The principles of fluid mechanics are also applied to
fluid power system in which pressured fluid is used to transmit power. !ydraulic
drives and controls have become more and important due to automation and
mechani"ation. Today, a very large part or modern machinery is controlled
completely or partly by fluid power.
Fluid can be defined as substance that has ability to flow. #ases e$pand
whereas liquids do not. %iquid have no shape of it&s own but rather tae the shape of
the container in which it is placed. That means if liquid or volume less than volume
of the container is poured into container the fluids will occupy a volume of the
container and will have a free surface. #ases e$pand and occupy full volume of the
container. #ases are compressible which means their volume changes with pressure
where as liquids are incompressible. 'ompressible flows are again divided into
subsonic and supersonic depending on gas velocity less or greater than sound velocity.
Their application is in et propulsion system, aircraft and rocets.

at +@'. 1 convenient method to measure sp. gravity is by means of a hydrometer. t
is dipped into the liquid and a calibrated scale gives the specific gravity. t should be
noted that specific gravity is a dimensionless number and its value for a particular
substance is the same regardless of the system of units. t is abbreviated as (s).

1 number of viscometers are available in the maret. These viscometers are electronic
devices with digital panel and measured viscosity most of the liquids such paint,
lubrication oil, polymer compound, chemical compositions etc.
Fluids obeying 2ewton&s law of viscosity (equation .=) and for which I has a
constant value are nown as 2ewton&s fluids. /ost common fluids such as air, water
and oil come under this category for which shear stress in proportional to velocity
gradient. The fluids that do not obey 2ewton&s law of viscosity are nown as non-
2ewtonian fluids such as human blood, lubrication oils, molten rubber and sewage
sludge etc.

The molecules of the liquid are attracted by the molecules of the same liquid
by a force nown as 7'ohesion&. This force eeps the molecules bonded together.
The force of attraction between molecules of two different liquids that do not
mi$ each other or between liquids molecules and solid boundary containing the liquid
or between molecules or liquid on side and molecules of air (or gas) on the other side
is nown as 7adhesion&.

Figure .; is shown a molecule of liquid at the surface is acted on by
imbalance cohesion and adhesive forces giving rise to surface tension. t is
commonly denoted by #ree letter, 7sigma& (σ) and is defined as force per unit length
of the surface. n the equation, it can be written as
%
! =σ (.44)
The units of L in * units will be 23m. n many engineering problems surface
tension forces are very small compared with other forces acting on the fluid and may
therefore be neglected. !owever, surface tension can cause serious errors in capillary
effects particularly in manometer.
For a droplet or a half bubble, the surface tension effect can be illustrated by
analy"ing a free-body diagram as shown in Figure .+.

1.6 Ca&illarity
f a small diameter glass tube is inserted into water through a free surface the
water will rise in the tube. This phenomenon is nown as capillarity and is caused by
cohesive force of the liquid molecules and adhesion of liquid surface to solid glasssurface.
The rise in level of the capillarity tube will depend on L and angle of contact, U
as shown in Figure .?.

'onsequently, when one does not wish a meniscus to rise appreciably in a
tube, a large value of diameter is chosen. t is believed that trees, even very tall ones,
send water to their highest branches by means of capillarity effects. !ence, capillary
passages must be e$tremely fine. n water and certain other liquids that e$hibit
capillarity the meniscus is 7concave&. These liquids wet the glass and angle of contact
U is less than BA@. n some other liquids such as mercury the meniscus is conve$. The
liquids do not wet the solid surface and angle of contact U is more than BA@. #lass
tubes are commonly used in manometer and capillary action is a serious source of
error in reading levels in such tubes. They should have as large a diameter as is
conveniently possible to minimi"e errors due to capillarity.
1.17 /a&or Pressure
'avitation is given to the phenomenon that occurs at the solid boundaries of
liquid streams when the pressure of the liquid is reduced to vapor pressure of the
liquid at the prevailing temperature (Table .;). 1ny attempt to reduce the pressure
still further merely causes the liquid to vapori"e more quicly and clouds of vapor
bubble form. The bubbles of vapor formed in the region of cavitation move
downstream to a region
=

8/18/2019 CHAPTER 1-3 Fluid Mechanics Final
17/70
of higher pressure where they collapse (see Figure .?). t is repeated formation and
collapse of vapor bubbles which can have damaging effects upon the walls of the
solid surface. The actual time between formation and collapse may not be more than
3AA of a second, but dynamic force caused by this phenomenon may be very severe.
t is only a matter of having enough bubbles formed over a sufficient period of time
for the destruction of the metal begins. 'avitation may occur in pumps, turbines,
hydrofoils, propellers, and in venture-meters. n the case of turbines, cavitation is
most liely to occur on the blade surfaces near the tail race where as for pumps it is
most liely to occur at inlet to the impeller. 'avitation can also occur if a liquid
contains dissolved air or gases, since solubility of gases in liquid decreases as the
pressure is reduced. #as and air bubbles will be released as vapor bubble with the
same damaging effects. 'are should be taen to avoid cavitation as far as possible but
if this proves impracticable, than the parts liely to be affected by cavitations should
be constructed of especially resistant metals such as stainless steel.

H8DROSTATIC PRESSURE
2.1 Introduction
1 fluid at rest is characteri"ed by absence of relative motion between adacent
fluid layers. nder such a condition, the velocity gradient is "ero and there is no
shear stress, therefore, viscosity of fluid has no effect on fluids at rest. Kut fluids at
rest do e$ert forces on the solid boundary. 0nowledge of force variation or more
appropriately pressure variations in a static fluid is important to an engineer.
There are so many practical e$amples of fluids at rest such as water retained
by a dam, an overhead tan supplying water to the public, gas or fuel in a tan truc.
The obect of this chapter is to measure pressure variations in a static fluid to discuss
pressure and pressure measurement and laws of fluid pressure.
2.2 Hydrostatic Pressure
n the gravity environment, the static pressure in the fluid is proportionally increased
linearly with the depth and always acted perpendicular or normal to the surface as
shown in Figure 4..
Figure 4. *tatic pressure increased linearly with the depth
The hydrostatic pressure at every location with the depth, h from the free surface is
given as

gh P P atm ρ += (4.)
by neglecting atm equation 4. becomes
gh P ρ = (4.4)
and this is called gage pressure that always use in the calculation of static pressure. 1s
a e$ample, for point and 4 in Figure can be written asD
,, gh P ρ = (4.;)
44 gh P ρ = (4.+)
Thus, the pressure different between points and 4 can be written asD
h g P P P ∆=−=∆ ρ ,4 (4.?)
where [h8h4-h
The fluid pressure at rest is constant along the hori"ontal line. n other words, the
pressures for all points with similar depth have same magnitude, and it is independent
of the shape or cross section area of the fluid container (see Figure 4.4). This may be
stated as the equal level-equal pressure principle that forms the basis for many
pressure-measuring devices such as barometer and manometer. t also contributes to
the operation of a hydraulic ac that a small input force creates a larger output force.
Figure 4.4 ressures are equal for all points along hori"ontal plane

2.2 Pressure and )ead
There are several types of pressure-measuring devices available. Cevices such as a
barometer, Kourdon gage, and manometer are among commonly used instruments
to measure, either a gage, vacuum or absolute pressure. 1 pressure gage measures
a pressure relative to the local atmospheric pressure when the pressure is above the
atmospheric pressure whereas a vacuum gage is used when the pressure is below
the atmospheric pressure.

1 typical mercury barometer is shown in Figure 4.? and used to measure
atmospheric pressure. t consists of a vertical closed glass tube with a column of
mercury inside. The barometer is constructed so as to avoid having any trapped air at
the end of the tube. t can be assumed that the space between the mercury and the end
of the tube contains a vacuum with "ero pressure.
1t the bottom of the column, mercury is contained in a small reservoir in a
small reservoir. The pressure acting on the surface of the reservoir is atmospheric
pressure atm. Thus, the atmospheric pressure can be calculated as
P atm ( ρ gh (4.)
Figure 4.?
2.* T)e ourdon 9au(e
This is most common type of pressure gauge which is compact, reasonably
robust and simple to use. 1 curved tube of elliptical cross-section is closed at one end
is free to move, but the other end-through which the fluid enters is rigidly fi$ed to the
frame as shown in Figure 4.=.

8/18/2019 CHAPTER 1-3 Fluid Mechanics Final

Figure 4.=
6hen the pressure inside the tube e$ceeds outside pressure (usually
atmospheric), the cross-section tends to become circular, thus causing the tube
uncurve slightly. The movement of the free end of the tube is transmitted by a
suitable mechanical linage to a pointer moving over a scale. \ero reading is of course obtained when the pressure inside the tube equals the local atmospheric
pressure. Ky using tubes of appropriate stiffness, gauges for a wide range of pressure
may be made.
2. 3anoetric Pressure
The barometer analysis shows that vertical columns of liquid can be used to
measure pressure. The science of this measurement is called manometer.
There are different types of manometers with varying degrees of sensitivity which
embody the principle already derived and used for pressure measurement.

FLUID STATICS
%.1 Introduction
n the previous chapter it was noted that the hydrostatic pressure parts of fluid static.
n this chapter we shall develop equations to calculate the magnitude and location of
forces acting on submerged surfaces. 6e shall also e$amine problems involving
ability of floating bodies. *uch analysis of fluid helps in the design of dams, gates,
ships and submarines.
n this chapter, the submerged surfaces are divided into the following types9 a) straight
hori"ontal and vertical surfaces, b) straight inclined surfaces, and c) curved surfaces.
The analysis of hydrostatic force on submerged surfaces assumes the following
conditions.
. Force is always perpendicular to the surface since there is no shear
stress for fluids at rest.
4. ressure varies linearly with depth for incompressible fluid.
;. The resultant fluid force passes through the point called the center of
pressure
%.2 Hori;ontal and +ertical sur!ace
1ny given depth h, the resultant fluid force FR on the hori"ontal and vertical
surfaces may be represented as shown in Figure ;..

/agnitude FR can be written as
P ! C R = (;.;)
where ' is a pressure at the centroid surface (point ') and is written asD
C oC gh P P ρ += (;.+)
This pressure is equivalent to the average pressure on the surface.
we can see that
a) the magnitude of the force is independent of the angle U,
b) it is perpendicular to the surface, and
c) it passes through the point of application called the center of pressure
(point ).
n many cases, the pressure at point J is the atmospheric pressure and may be
ignored in the analysis. This simplifies equation (;.+) to
C C gh P ρ = (;.?)
2oticed that when U 8 BA@ , the surface becomes vertical and when U 8 A@ , the
surface becomes hori"ontal.

6hen a body is completely submerged or floating in a fluid, the resultant fluid
force acting in an upward direction on the body is called the /uoyancy force1 This
force tends to lift the body upward and its e$istence is due to the fact that () the
fluid pressure increases with depth, and (4) the pressure force acting from below is
larger than the pressure force acting from above.

The difference between these two forces is the buoyant force which gives
the net upward force. This buoyant force will pass through the point called
center of /uoyancy or the centroid of the displaced volume, C K which
happened to be at the same point as the center of gravity of the body, # in
the case of a completely submerged body. 6riting force balance on the

of the displaced fluid by the body). E$pressing this volume as ( h, we
may write the equation above as
V ! f $ γ =
where V is volume of the displaced fluid1 Thus, we conclude that the
buoyant force acting on the body is equal to the weight of the fluid
displaced by the body and therefore, proportional to the density of the fluid.
n the case of a floating body, Figure ;.>, the weight of the entire body must
be equal to the buoyant force, which is the weight of the fluid whose volume
is equal to the volume of the su/merged portion of the floating body.

n the vertical direction under static equilibrium, the weight and the buoyant
force on a floating or immersed body will balance each other, and such body
is said to be vertically sta/le (vertical stability).
For the rotational stability, the condition depends upon the relative locationof the center of gravity # of the body and the center of buoyancy ' K, Figure
