3 1 Fluid Properties 1.1 Density
Fluid density was defined as mass per unit volume hydraulic oil ρ= kg/m3 1.1 Compressibility and expansibility Suppose the volume is the function of pressure and temperature , or V=f(t,p ) , and t↑→V↑,p↑→V↓ The volumetric increment can be approximated by is total differential, thus

4 1 Fluid Properties where expansibility coefficient
compressibility coefficient Found by experiment: In hydraulic transmission problems, p≤32Mpa, the volume variation caused by pressure variation is Consequently, hydraulic oil may be regarded as uncompressible.

5 1.3 Viscosity 1.3.1 cohesion force and adhesion force There are cohesion forces among fluid particles, while there are adhesion forces among fluid particles and solid wall. Adhesion forces are usually greater than cohesion force except mercury. 1.3.2 dynamic viscosity Consider two parallel plates, placed a small distance Y apart, the space between the plates being filled with the fluid.

6 The lower surface is assumed to be stationary, while upper one is moved parallel to it with a velocity U by the application of a force F, corresponding to some area A of the moving plates The particles of the fluid in contact with each plate will adhere to it. The velocity gradient will be a straight line. The action is much as if the fluid were made up of a series of thin sheets.

7 Experiment has shown that for a large class of fluids
If a constant of proportionality μ is now introduced, the shear stress τbetween any two thin sheets of fluid may be expressed by (1)

8 1 Fluid Properties Above equation is called Newtow’s equation of viscosity and in transposed form it serves to define the proportional constant which is called the dynamic viscosity. The viscosity is the natural property of fluids, but shown only in fluid flow. The viscosity is a measure of resistance to shear or angle deformation. The viscosity accounts for energy losses associated with the transport of fluids in ducts and pipes. The friction forces in fluid flow result from the cohesion and momentum interchange between molecules in the fluid.

9 1 Fluid Properties As temperature increases, the viscosity of all liquids decreases, while the viscosity of all gases increase. This is because the force of cohesion, which diminishes with temperature, predominates with liquids; while with gases the predominating factor in the interchange of molecules between layers of different velocity. 1.3.3 Kinematic viscosity In many problems including viscosity there frequently appear the value of viscosity divided by density. This is defined as kinematic viscosity E.g. the kinematic viscosity of 30# mechanic oil is 30 厘斯

10 1 Fluid Properties 1.3.3 Relative viscosity a. Definition : °E= t1 /t2
t1 –-time the measured liquid (200mL, T°C) passes through the viscosity-meter orifice(2.8mm); t2 —time the pure water (200mL, 20°C) passes through the viscosity-meter orifice(diameter=2.8mm). b. Transposed relation The lubrication oil is named according to its kinematic viscosity E.g. For 30#mechanical oil, its kinematic viscosity is 30 厘斯 The gasoline is named according to its octane The diesel oil is named according to its freezing point

11 2 Mechanics of fluids at rest
Fluid statics is the study of fluids there is no relative motion between fluid particles. The only stress is normal stress, pressure, so it is the pressure that is of primary interest in fluid statics. 2.1 static pressure property a. The pressure is defined as the force exerted on a unit area b. The pressure is the same in all direction Note geometric relation and neglect higher order term, thus

12 2 Mechanics of fluids at rest
2.2 Basic differential equation Assume the pressure is the function of space coordinates, or p=f( x, y, z ) . Consider a infinitesimal element in the figure. A x y z dx dy dz Assume that a pressure p exists at the center A of this element, the pressure each of sides can be expressed by using chain rule from calculus with p( x, y, z )

13 2 Mechanics of fluids at rest
x y z dx dy dz Newton’s second law is written in vector for constant mass system. ΣF=ma This results in three component equations, Where ax, ay, and az are the components of the acceleration of the element.

14 2 Mechanics of fluids at rest
Division by the element’s volume dxdydz yields (2) The equation expresses the relation between pressure variation and acceleration.

15 2 Mechanics of fluids at rest
2.3 Examples included in fluid statics. E1: liquid at rest p0 Solution (3) The quantity is referred to as the piezometric head Another form is written as (4) Where p—----the pressure at a point; ρgh---the pressure caused by liquid column weight; p the pressure caused by external force (either gas or liquid or solid).

16 2 Mechanics of fluids at rest
(4) Explanation: ① The term is used to convert pressure to a height of liquid. ② Neglect the pressure caused by the fluid weight when studying gases. ③ Neglect the pressure caused by the liquid weight and the pressure caused by atmosphere on hydraulic transmission. ④ The equal-pressure surface is a horizontal plane. ⑤ The free surface is a special equal-pressure surface (p=pa).

17 2 Mechanics of fluids at rest
E2: Trolley in a linear acceleration Solution The liquid is at rest relative to the trolley, so the reference frame is established on the trolley. According to Equation (1) pa x z a v When x=z=0, p=pa, thus The equal-pressure surface is not a horizontal plane but a slope surface.

18 2 Mechanics of fluids at rest
Solution The the reference frame is established on the container. According to Equation (1) E3: Rotating container y z x pa When x=y=z=0, p=pa, thus The constant-pressure surface is a parabaloid of revolution

21 3 fluid kinematics and dynamics
1736 ~ 1813 3.1 Description of fluid motion a. Lagrangian description In the study of particle mechanics, attention is focused on individual particles, motion is observed as a function of time. The position, velocity, and acceleration of each particle are listed The most popular/prevalent nomenclature at present is CFD—computational fluid dynamics where x, y and z are transient position coordinates。 This description is easily acceptable but difficult as the number of particles becomes extremely large in a fluid flow.

22 3 Mechanics of fluids in motion
1707 ~1783 b. Eulerian description An alternative to following each fluid particle separately is to identify points in space and the observe the velocity of particles pass each point. The flow properties, such as velocity, are functions of both space and time. where x, y and z are the position coordinates of the flow field Convective acceleration Local acceleration

23 3 Mechanics of fluids in motion
3.2 Key concepts a. Ideal fluid: A fluid is presumed to have no viscosity b. Incompressible and compressible fluid An incompressible fluid is the one whose density remains relatively constant. Generally speaking, liquids can be considered as incompressible fluids while gases as compressible fluids c. Steady flow: Where the quantities of interest do not depend on time. d. Path line: A path line is the locus of points traversed by a given particle as it travels in the flow field. Note that a path line is a history of the particle’s locations (Lagrange description)

24 3 Mechanics of fluids in motion
e. Streamline: A streamline is a curved line possessing following property: the velocity vector of each particle occupying a point on the streamline is tangent to the streamline (Eulerian description) In a steady flow, path lines and streamlines are all coincident.

25 3 Mechanics of fluids in motion
f. Stream tube: A stream tube is a tube whose walls are steamlines. Note that no fluid can cross the walls of a stream tube since the velocity is tangent to a stream line People often sketch a stream tube with a infinitesimal cross section in the interior of flow for demonstration purposes. Be perpendicular to/normal to/ be orthogonal to g. Flow cross section A plane or curved surface at right (angle) to the direction of velocity.

26 3 Mechanics of fluids in motion
h. Flow rate and mean velocity The quantity of fluid flowing per unit time across any section is called the flow rate. In dealing with incompressible fluids, volume flow rate is commonly used, whereas mass flow rate is more convenient with compressible fluids. The mean value of the velocity in a cross section is called the mean velocity. This indicates that the volume flow rate is equal to the magnitude of the mean velocity multiplied by the flow area at right to the direction of velocity.

27 3 Mechanics of fluids in motion
3.3 Equation of continuity Assume an incompressible fluid steadily flows in the infinitesimal stream tube. The following figure represents a short length of a stream tube u2 2 u1 1 dA1 dA2 The fixed volume between the two fixed sections of the stream tube is called the control volume. According to mass conservation law, in the time dt, the mass flowing in the control volume must be equal to the mass flowing out the control volume.

28 3 Mechanics of fluids in motion
The equation can be simplified, thus The equation can be integrated along flow cross section, yielding The equation indicates the mean velocity is inversely proportional to the flow area.

29 3 Mechanics of fluids in motion
3.4 Differential equation of steady flow for ideal fluid Consider steady flow of an ideal fluid. Use a infinitesimal cylindrical element, with length ds and cross-section dA, in the s-direction of the stream. The forces acting on the element are pressure forces and the weight. Summing up the forces in the s-direction, there results The acceleration of the s-direction

30 3 Mechanics of fluids in motion

32 3 Mechanics of fluids in motion
The physical significance of the equation: Bernoulli equation indicates that the total energy of a fluid flowing from 1 cross section to 2 cross section remains constant though one energy form can be converted into another. Bernoulli • Daniel ( ), Swiss mathematician, who showed that as the velocity of a fluid increases, the pressure decreases, a statement known as the Bernoulli principle.

33 3 Mechanics of fluids in motion

Consequently, we can integrate the above equation along the cross-section of a real tube Rewrite the integration

36 3 Mechanics of fluids in motion
Note that in the cross section of gradually varied flow Hence Let We can obtain where v1 and v2 ----mean velocities; α1 andα2----kinetic energy correction factors, α=1~2. The selected cross sections should ensure that the stream lines across the cross section are approximately parallel (gradually varied flow) Please note:

37 3 Mechanics of fluids in motion
d. Example Venturi meter A Venturi meter consists of one tube with a constricted throat which produces an increased velocity accompanied by a reduction in pressure. The meter is used for measuring the flow rate of both compressible and incompressible. Assuming D1=200mm, D2=100mm, the height of the mercury column h=45mm, Calculate the flow rate of water.

38 3 Mechanics of fluids in motion

Use continuity equation Inserting this value of v2 in foregoing expression, we obtain

40 3 Mechanics of fluids in motion
According to static pressure equation, select equal pressure planeO1O1, thus Finally, the flow rate is

41 3 Mechanics of fluids in motion
Substituting data for these variables, we obtain the ideal throat flow rate As there is some friction losses between cross section 1-1 and 2-2, the true velocity is slightly less than the value given by the expression. Hence, we may introduce a discharge coefficient C, so that the flow rate is given

53 4 Energy losses of fluids in motion
Energy loss is usually called power loss or head loss. Head loss is the measure of the reduction in the total head (sum of elevation head, velocity head and pressure head) of the fluid as it moves through a fluid system. Head loss includes friction loss and local loss As the fluid flows through straight pipes fiction loss occurs. Losses due to the local disturbance of the flow are called local losses . The viscous friction will cause energy loss, the loss is called the loss caused by viscous force. The fluid particles do not move in uniform linear motion but they follow random paths, or exists the loss caused by inertial force

Laminar flow Turbulent flow vc’—higher critical velocity ; vc----lower critical velocity Actually, velocity is not the only factor that determines whether the flow regime is laminar or turbulent. The flow regime depends on three physical parameters: Velocity, geometric scale and viscosity. 4.2 Reynolds number v—mean velocity; d—tube diameter; ν—kinematic viscosity. Corresponding to two critical velocity,the two critical Reynolds numbers are Lower critical Reynolds number: Higher critical Reynolds number:

81 7 hydraulically shocking
The phenomenon encountered when the velocity of a liquid is abruptly decreased due to valve movement is called hydraulic shock or water hammer. It is possible to damage pipes, elements and systems, even to injure persons. When studying hydraulic shock the liquid is not incompressible and the piping is not rigid. 7.1 Physic model and physic process Consider a single horizontal pipe of length L and diameter d. The upstream end of the pipe is connected to a reservoir and a valve is situated at downstream end.

82 7 hydraulically shocking
Let us assume that the valve is closed instantaneously. The lamina of liquid next to the valve will be brought to rest, its kinematic energy is converted into pressure energy. When the lamina is compressed, the wall of the pipe will be stretched. Then , the second lamina will be brought to rest, its kinematic energy is converted into pressure energy. Next , the third lamina will be brought to rest, its kinematic energy is converted into pressure energy. …… After the total liquid will be brought to rest, the total kinematic energy of liquid will be converted into pressure energy. The pressure will reach maximum

83 7 hydraulically shocking
Under an excess pressure, some liquid starts to flow back into the reservoir. The pressure energy is converted into kinematic energy. The reverse velocity will produce a pressure drop that will be below the normal pressure. After the total liquid in the pipe be brought to motion, The pressure will reach minimum. If there were not damp, the periodic process would last forever.

87 8. Cavitations When the local pressure becomes equal to the vapor pressure of the liquid, small vapor bubbles are generated and these bubbles collapse when they enter a high-pressure region. The collapse is accompanies by very large local pressures that last for only a small fraction of a second. These pressure spikes may reach a wall, where they can, after repeated applications result in significant damage. The phenomenon is called cavitations. In order to prevent cavitations from occurring, the system pressure, including all local pressures, should always be ensured to be above the atmospheric pressure.
