INTRODUCTION

9

Fluid – definition, distinction between solid and fluid - Units and dimensions - Properties of fluids - density, specific weight, specific volume, specific gravity, temperature, viscosity, compressibility,vapour pressure, capillary and surface. Properties of velocity field -thermodynamic properties of a fluid - viscosity and other secondary properties - basic flow analysis techniques flow patterns.

UNIT II

PRESSURE DISTRIBUTION IN A FLUID

9

Pressure and pressure gradient - equilibrium of fluid element - hydrostatic pressure distributions - applications to manometry - Hydrostatic forces on planed and curved submerged surfaces - laws of buoyancy and stability; Considerations for bodies in floatation.


UNIT III

INTEGRAL RELATIONS FOR A CONTROL VOLUME

9

Basic laws of fluid mechanics, concept of system and control volume concept - The Reynold’s transport theorem - continuity equation - the linear momentum equation - the angular momentum theorem - steady flow energy equation - friction less flow - Bernoulli equation - relation between the Bernoulli and steady flow energy equation.

UNIT IV

DIMENSIONAL ANALYSIS AND SIMILITUDE

9

The principle of dimensional homogeneity - the Pi-theorem - non-dimensional action of the basic equations -similitude - relationship between dimensional analysis and similitude - use of dimensional analysis for scale up studies.

UNIT V
