FLUID MECHANICS & HYDRAULIC MACHINE

 


PROPERTIES

  • 1hp = 746 watts

  • For gas → ρ  ∝ P ∝ 1/T ∝ 1/vol

  • Fathometer → Ocean depth

  • Hygrometer → Water vapour

  • isentropic process → Always frictionless and adiabatic 

  • Specific heat ratio at constant pressure and constant volume = Always constant  for a gas

Wt/mass/density/vol

  • γ = ρ g = mg/V 

  • Wt. = mg → 1 kg wt = 9.81 N = 1 kgf → 1 gm = 981dynes → 1N = 10⁵ Dyne

  • γw = 1g/cc = 1000 kg/m³ = 9.81 KN/m³ ≈ 10 KN/m³

  • G → Mercury = 13.6, Glycerine = 1.26 

  • Specific vol. = 1/ρ  or 1/

  • Specific volume of water when heated from 0°C  → first decreases and then increases 

  • Water has max density at 4°C = 9810N/m³ = 9.81kN/m³

  • Compressibility =1/K=(-dV/V)/dp → Variation in volume of liquid with variation in pressure 

  • Incompressibility  → Water > kerosene oil > gasoline > helium

Note

  • Fluid statistics → Study of fluid at rest

  • Dynamics → Study of fluid in motion Considering force

  • Kinematics → Study of fluid in motion Without considering force

  • Flow of fluid →Due to its deformation under shear force → Fluid in equilibrium can't sustain shear stress 

  • A fluid is a substance that cannot remain at rest when subjected to a sharing stress 

  • Solid → Stress ∝ strain → Resists shear stress by elastic deformation

  • Fluid → Stress ∝ strain rate

  • Continuity eqn → Based on conservation of mass

  • Free vortex eqⁿ → Conservation of momentum

  • Continuity eqⁿ → Relates mass rate of flow along streamline

  • Rayleigh lines → Use of Momentum and continuity eqn

  • Free surface → No shear stress

  • For liquid → ρ  = constant 

Types of fluid

Real fluid

  • Practically all fluid are real

  • has μ, σ, real fluid are compressible

ideal fluid/Perfect gas

  • μ = ST(σ)  = τ = 0

  • Friction less, Non - viscous, incompressible(k = ∞), Viscous force is negligible

  • Always satisfy continuity equation

  • Ideal Gas Pv = nRT

Newtonian fluid 

  • Obeys Newton's law of viscosity → τ ∝ Rate of change of shear strain (dθ/dt) and τ ∝ velocity gradient 

  • Ex. Water, air, gas, diesel, kerosine

  • τ = μ du/dy = μ dθ/dt → Newtons law of viscosity

  • μ = Constant → Viscosity doesn't change with the rate of deformation for Newtonian fluid and shear stress

  • Rate of angular deformation (dθ/dt) = rate of change of gradient(du/dy)

Non Newtonian Fluids

  • Doesn't follow Newton's law of viscosity → Shear stress is not proportional to the rate of shear strain 

  • Rheology → Study of non-Newtonian fluid

  • Eg. Thixotropic, Bingham plastic, Pseudo, Dilatant

Thixotropic fluid

  • Printers ink, ketchup

Bingham plastic or ideal plastic fluid 

  • Shear stress(τ) ∝ Rate of shear strain and τ ∝ velocity gradient 

  • Shear stress > Yield value

  • Ex. Toothpaste, Cream 

Pseudo plastic

  • Apparent viscosity decreases with increasing deformation

  • Ex. Paint, Blood, Milk 

Dilatant

  • Ex. Sugar in water, Butter, Starch solⁿ

Viscosity 

  • Property which characterises the resistance which fluid offers to applied shear force 

  • Viscosity of liquid doesn't affected by Pressure

  • μwater = 55 x μair , v air = 15.2 v water→ At 20°C

  • μ of water is due to cohesion 

  • μ of air is due to molecular momentum transfer

  • μ Hg> μwater> alcohol>air

  • vhg < vwater< vair

  • μ water ∝ 1/T → Higher temp → Lesser cohesion

  • μ air ∝ T → Higher temp → More energy  → greater momentum of colliding gases

Dynamic/Absolute/coeff of viscosity (μ)

  • τ = μ du/dy = μ dθ/dt  → [ML⁻¹ T⁻¹]

  • SI → N-s/m² = Pa-sec = kg/m.s, CGS → Poise 

  • 1Pa-sec = 10 Poise = 1N-s/m² = 10 Dyne-sec/cm²

  • μ = 0 → Perfect gas

Kinematic viscosity or Momentum diffusivity

  • v = μ/ρ  → v = m²/sec(si), μ = NS/m², ρ = kg/m³ 

  • SI → m²/sec, CGS → Stoke 

  • 1 Stoke = 1 cm²/sec → 1 m²/sec = 10⁴ stoke

  • Red wood →To determine Kinematic Viscosity 

  • Engler viscometer Viscosity of lubricant oils

  • Say bolt → Viscosity of petroleum products 

Surface Tension(Cohesion)

  • ST is caused by the force of Cohesion → Resist tensile stress

  • Due to ST → Wetting property, Spherical shape of drop, Liquid surface causes contraction

  • ST = Surface Energy/Work done/area = Force/Length (N/m) [MT-2]

  • ST water/air = 0.073N/m (At critical point it becomes zero)

  • Temp ↑es → σ ↓e liquid  

  • Salt or Soluble matter added → σ ↑es

  • insoluble or impurities added → σ ↓es

  • At 20°C for water → μ = 0.01 poise, σ = 0.075N/m

  • Cohesion → Molecule attract by their own (Hg)

  • Adhesion → Molecule of diff type (H2O)

  • Excessive Pressure(ΔP) Bubble = 8σ/D, Drop = 4σ/D, Jet = 2σ/D

Capillarity

  • Due to adhesion & ST(Cohesion) both

  • Capillary tension → Stress which is responsible for retaining water in capillary tube above the free water surface of the water body 

  • Tubehc = 4σcosθ/ρliquidgd = 4σcosθ/γliquidd = 4σcosθ/Gγwd = 2σ/rγ

  • Soil hc = C/eD10 = 0.3/dcm C = 0.1 - 0.5 cm²

  • Angle of contact with glass →  Water = 0°, Kerosene = 26°, Hg = 130° 

  • | ϕ < 90° |C < A | Wetting of surface | Concave top | rise in capillary tube | Water |

  • | ϕ > 90° |C > A | No wetting of surface | Convex top | fall in capillary tube | Hg |

  • Hg → G = 13.6, Doesn't stick to glass due to Cohesion

  • The flow in a capillary tube is laminar because the diameter of capillary tube is very small 

Critical velocity(Vc)

  • Max Velocity up to which fluid motion is streamlined

  • Vc=Re/r

  • Re = Reynolds no, μ = coeff of viscosity, ρ = density, r = radii of capillary tube

Thermodynamics

  • Isentropic process → Frictionless & adiabatic

  • Control volume → A fixed region in space

  • Biot no → related to Heat Conduction

Isentropic flow of air

  • Critical pressure ratio = 0.528

  • Critical Temperature ratio = 0.833

  • Critical Density ratio = 0.634

PRESSURE

  • Stagnation pressure = Static + Dynamic pressure = P + ρV²/2

  • Altitude increases → Patm decreases slowly then Steeply

  • Pressure variation of air above sea level → Exponentially decreasing with height 

  • Pressure on liquid > Vapour pressure → Liquid is said to be not in a boiling or vaporised state 

Units of pressure

  • Si unit = N/m² or Pascal → 1 Pascal = 1 N/m²

  • 1 kgf/m² =  9.81N/m²

  • 1 Torr = 1 mm of Hg = 133 N/m² = 133 Pa

  • At MSL → 1 Patm = = 76 cm Hg = 10.33 m water = 1.0132 bar = 101.32kPa = 1.01 x 10⁵ Pascal → 1 bar = 0.9869 Patm

Pascal Law

  • Px = Py = Pz → Pressure intensity is same in all direction at a point when fluid is at rest

  • Fluid at Rest → No relative motion exists between different fluid layer, Frictionless, Shear stress = 0

  • Application → Hydraulic pressure, hydraulic jack, hydraulic lift, hydraulic brakes

  • Note → If there are shear stresses the pressure at a point in a fluid is not equal in all direction 

  • Note → For ideal flow Pressure at a point is same in all direction when fluid is in motion

Manometr

HYDROSTATIC FORCES

  • Hydrostatic paradox → The Apparent contradiction in hydrostatic force on the base of liquid container and the weight of liquid in the container, with reference to containers of different shapes having the same base area and filled with the same liquid for equal depth

Hydrostatic law

  • Rate of increase of pressure in the vertical direction is equal to weight density of fluid at that point 

  • dp/dh = ± ρg=h → at any point

  • Downward = +ve

  • Upward = -ve

  • (ρgh)liquid1=(ρgh)liquid2

Total Hydrostatic force(F)

  • F = pA = ρgh̅A = γh̅A → Horizontal or Vertical or inclined surface

  • Total water force at bottom of tank = Water pressure at bottom x Area of tank bottom = ρghA

  • The vertical component of the hydrostatic force on a submerged curved surface =  the weight of liquid vertically above it 

Total pressure (p)

  • p = F/A = γ h̅

Centre of pressure 

  • The resultant hydrostatic force or pressure on a submerged body act through 

  • hp = h̅ + Isin²θ / Ah̅   → From free surface

  • Vertical plane surface(θ=90)hp = h̅ + I/Ah̅  

  • Horizontal plane surface(θ=0)hp = h̅ → Centre of pressure will coincide with the centre of gravity 

  • Centre of pressure → Always lies below the centroid of area & moves towards the centroid as depth increases

LIQUID IN RELATIVE EQUILIBRIUM 

i. At Rest

Centre of Buoyancy

  • Through which force of buoyancy is supposed to act → Buoyant force always acts upward 

  • COB of a submerged body → Coincides with the centroid of the volume of fluid displaced

  • Resultant pressure of the liquid in case of an immersed body acts through the centre of buoyancy 

  • Stability of a completely submerged body → Determined by considering centre of buoyancy and centre of gravity

  • Direction of total liquid pressure on submerged body  → Normal to the surface 

Metacentre

  • Point about which a floating body starts oscillating when the body is → tilted by a small angle or Give a nice small angular displacement 

Metacentric height (GM)

  • Sink flow → A flow in which fluid moves rapidly inwards towards a point where it disappears it constant rate 

  • Flow through a long pipe of constant dia and constant rate → Steady + Uniform flow

  • Flow through tapering pipe at constant rate → Steady + Non Uniform flow

  • Increasing/decreasing rate of fluid flow through a constant dia → Unsteady + Uniform

  • Increasing/decreasing rate of fluid flow through a diverging pipe → Unsteady + Non Uniform

  • 2D laminar flow under steady and uniform → d/dy = dP/dx

Steady 

  • At any given location fluid properties(V, P, T) doesn't change wrt time, otherwise unsteady

  • δv/δt=δp/δt=δT/δt=0

  • Eg. Flow through a tapering pipe

  • Flow in a river during flood → Gradually varied Unsteady flow

  • In unsteady flow the velocity changes in magnitude or direction or both wrt times 

Uniform

  • At any given time fluid properties doesn't change wrt location, otherwise non Uniform

  • δv/δx=δp/δx=δT/δx=0

  • dp/dx = d1/d2

Compressible

  • Density changes with time otherwise incompressible

Rotational flow 

  • When particle rotate about their mass centre during motion otherwise irrotational

  • Forced vortex flow → flow inside Boundary layer

  • Rotation of the fluid is always associated with shear stress 

irrotational flow (Potential flow)

  • The net rotation of fluid particles about their mass centre = 0

  • Velocity potential (ϕ) exists → Existence of velocity potential implies that fluid is a irrotational 

  • Free vortex → Flow outside boundary layer, wash basin

  • Non-viscous fluid can never be rotational

Separation of boundary layer

  • Flow separation takes place → Where Pressure Gradient changes Abruptly and Boundary layer comes to rest, dp/dx < 0, (∂u/∂y)y=0=0, Shear stress = 0

  • (+ve) or adverse Pressure gradient (dp/dx > 0) helps in BL separation → Velocity gradient becomes (-ve)(dv/dx < 0

  • Wake → Region b/w separation of streamline & boundary surface of solid body, Always occur after Separation Point, Occurs in bluff body

  • Turbulent /x ∝ 1/Rex1/5 → Relative thickness on flat plate decreases with distance x

Streamlined Body

  • Body surface coincide with the streamline → Flow separation is suppressed

  • Airfoil → A small wake and consequently small pressure drag 

  • The critical angle of attack of an airfoil → Where the lift begins to drop 

  • Separation of flow takes place at the trailing edge or farthest downstream part of the body

  • Friction drag >> Pressure drag → Friction drag force is predominant 

Bluff body

  • Body surface doesn't coincide with the streamline 

  • Pressure drag >>> Friction drag → Pressure drag force is predominant 

Rankine oval body

  • Stagnation point → two at θ = 0 and θ = π → One on front and other at back side 

Force on Plate

  • Drag force → due to pressure,  lift force → due to viscosity

  • Drag Fd = CdρAVo²/2 → Parallel (∥), Component of resultant fluid dynamic force in the flow direction 

  • A = Platform/projected area when the body is Flat like an airfoil

  • Lift Fd = CvρAVo²/2 → Perpendicular (⊥) to velocity, Always opposite to the relative motion of body / lift 

  • An immersed body in a flowing fluid the lift force is always in the opposite direction to gravity 

  • Jet F = ρAV² → on plate

  • Airfoil section at stall → Lift coeff/Drag coeff = 1.5

  • Drag Coefficient is reduced when the surface is smooth 

  • If fluid is ideal and the body is Symmetrical(Sphere, Cylinder) → Both Drag & Lift will be zero

  • A Supersonic velocity drag Coefficient depends on mach number only 

  • Designing of a body for drag and lift forces → Streamline body is one in which flow separation is suppressed 

  • Magnus effect → Associate with rotation → Produced by a spinning cylinder 

  • Robin effect → Related to creation of lift of a sphere

  • Both Lift + Drag → Motion of aeroplanes, Submarines, Torpedoes 

Coeff of drag 

  • Cd=24/Re → Re < 5 x 10⁵

  • Cd = 0.20 → If Re just greater than 5 x 10⁵ 

  • Turbulent → Cd = 0.074/Re1/5

Drag force

  • Drag total = Pressure drag(Form drag) + Friction drag(Skin/shear drag) = Vd + 2Vd

  • Friction drag/Pressure drag = 2

  • Deformation drag on sphere → 3Vd

  • Pressure/Form drag → Depends upon the separation of boundary layer and the size of wake

  • Surface/Skin/Shear/Friction drag → The tangential force exerted by the shearing stresses on a object submerged in a fluid, Major drag force experienced by the body at very small velocity, Primary due to shear stress generated due to viscous action 

  • Drag force = Wt. of body → Net external force = 0, Acceleration ceases and Body will move at constant speed 

  • Drag force on streamline shape is → Due to Primarily Shear stress

  • Plate parallel to flow → angle made by pressure with direction of motion = 90 → Pressure drag = 0

  • Plate perpendicular to flow → angle = 0 → friction drag = 0

  • Drag force on a cylinder → in Turbulent flow >>> Laminar flow

  • Bluff body → More pressure drag and less friction drag → Compare to a streamlined body 

  • Largest total drag → Circular disc of plate held normal to flow →  With the same C/S Area and immersed in same turbulent flow 

  • Less Drag → Airfoil

  • Plate of negligible thickness is held perpendicular to the flow direction → Forces mainly due to form/Pressure drag 

  • Total Drag is reduced if the boundary layer on the surface of a cylinder separates for the downstream of the leading point → As the separation point moves for the downstream form-drag is reduced and the skin drag is only marginally increased

  • Ex. commonly used hand pump, Positive displacement pump like Rotary Pump

  • Power → P=QHs/75

  • Single Acting Reciprocating PumpQ = ALN/60 → Water is delivered in delivery stroke

  • Double Acting Reciprocating Pump Q = 2ALN/60 

  • Q = m^3/sec, A = cylinder area (m^2), L = Cylinder/Stroke length (m), N = Crank speed (rpm)

  • Double Acting duplex RP → 2 Pistons

  • Hand Pump → operates through one way valve 

  • Air vessel → For continuous supply of water at uniform rate, Smoothen the flow 

  • Work saved by fitting an Air vessel → in SARP = 89.4%, DARP = 39.3%

  • Slip% = (Qth-Qactual)100/Qth=(1-Cd)100

  • Slip = (Qth-Qactual)

  • (-ve) Slip → Delivery pipe small and suction pipe long, Pump running at very high speed

  • Separation may take place at the beginning of suction stroke

Specific speed of Pump

  • Ns → Speed in revolution/minute → Deliver unit Discharge (1 cumec) of liquid against unit head (1m)

  • Ns=NQ / H3/4=Constant [L3/4T-3/2]

  • For multi stage H = Total Head / No. of Stage

  • Centrifugal pump → Ns< 2000

  •  Radial flow pump → Ns = 500 - 4000

  • Mixed flow pump → Ns = 4000 - 10000

  • Axial flow pump → Ns = 9000 - 15000

Specific speed for CP

  • Ns < 20 rpm → Slow speed and radial flow at outlet 

  • Ns = 80-160 rpm → High speed with mixed flow at outlet

  • Ns = 160 - 500 rpm → High speed with axial flow at outlet 

Pump Head

  • Static head(Hs) → Suction + Delivery head → Difference between water level in sump and top storage Reservoir Where water is told after pumping 

  • Suction head(hs) → Vertical distance between free surface of liquid level in the sump and pump Central Line 

  • Manometric head(Hm) → Difference of head as shown by manometers connected between the inlet and outlet flanges of pump →  head against which the pump has to work 

  • Hm= Hs+hfs+hfd=inlet-outlet head=Static head+ friction loss in section pipe+ friction loss in delivery pipe

  • Net positive suction head =  Pressure head + Kinetic head - vapour pressure

Efficiency

  • Mechanical = Power at impeller / Power at shaft of Centrifugal pump 

  • Manometric = Manometric Head / Head imparted by impeller to the water

  • Overall(η) = Mechanical x Manometric/Hydraulic η = ηmech x ηmano

  • η ∝ 1/ input Power

  • Efficiency of a pumping set = 65% - 70%

Power required to drive a pump

  • P = ⍴Qg(H + hf)/η=QHm/η

Cavitation in Pump/Turbine

  • Formation of vapour bubbles of a flowing liquid in a region where the pressure of the liquid falls below its vapour pressure 

  • Due to Higher Runner/Pump speed, High suction lift, High temp, Low pressure, Less available NPSH 

  • Minimum NPSH → Prevents the Cavitation 

  • To avoid Cavitation the suction pressure should be high 

  • Effect → Loss in efficiency, production of the noise and vibration, material damage/loss due to erosion, Irregular collapse of vapour cavities 

  • For No Cavitation → NPSH ≥ σcH, P ≥ Sat vapour pressure

  • Net positive Suction head → The absolute pressure head - minus the vapour pressure head + the velocity head 

  • NPSHA=(Patm-Pvapour)/g-hs-hfs

  • Pvapour/g → at 20℃ = 2.5m, at 100℃ = 10.3m

  • Patm/g = 10.3m at MSL

  • σc → Thomas cavitation number parameter 

  • Cavitation Parameter = (P-Pv) / 0.5V2 

Multistage Pump

  • Qused=Qtotal/no.of pump used

Pump in Series

  • For High head

  • H = H1 + H2 + H3 …

  • Q1 = Q2 = Q3 …

Pump in Parallel

  • For high Discharge

  • Q = Q1 + Q2 + Q3 …

  • H1 = H2 = H3 …
