1. Fluid dynamics Two fluid rates Fluid speed:
Fluid flow rate (Volume flow rate): m3/sec past any point:
Conservation of fluid volume
Assume incompressible fluid (constant density)

2. Fluid dynamics
“Continuity Equation”:

3. Sources of fluid pressure change
1. Friction between tube and fluid
Friction causes a drop in pressure along the tube as fluid flows.
Friction increases as radius _________ and length _____________
As friction grows, pressure at inlet must ___________ to keep the same flow
Blood pressure example: clogged arteries

4. Sources of fluid pressure change
2. Changes in height

5. Sources of fluid pressure change
3. Speed changes (Bernoulli effect)
Near a change in diameter, pressure is largest where speed is _______
Why?
Water in small area moves ________________.
A net force must ­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­_________________ the water, so pressure must be greater _______________.
Demo: air over manometer

6. Bernoulli’s equation
(combine height and speed effects, ignore friction)
or P­1 – P2 =
This pressure change is on top of any frictional pressure drop effect.

9. The faucet of radius r­2=0. 5 cm puts water out at 15 liters/minute
The faucet of radius r­2=0.5 cm puts water out at 15 liters/minute. The pressure at the opening of the faucet is about 1atm. The water main (r­1=6 cm), is 3 meters below the faucet. What is the pressure at the main?

10. Torricelli’s theorem:
If a tank is open at the top, and wide enough so that the top of the fluid is essentially motionless, then the speed of water flowing out a hole at depth h is that of a ball dropped a height h.

11. Water from a hole in a tank makes an arc due to horizontal v
Water from a hole in a tank makes an arc due to horizontal v. If a larger hole is made at the same depth, the flow will have (P4)___________ A. bigger arc B. bigger Q (vol/sec) C. bigger arc and J

12. A blood platelet drifts along with the flow of blood through an artery that is partially blocked by deposits. As the platelet moves from the narrow region to the wider region, it experiences (P5)_________ A. an increase in pressure. B. no change in pressure. C. a decrease in pressure.
