CHAPTER ONE INTRODUCTION
1.1 DEFINITIONS A fluid is a substance that deforms continuously when subjected to a shear stress, no matter how small that shear stress may be. A substance may be solid or fluid, a fluid may be liquid or gas. A fluid can flow and has no fixed shape. Fluid mechanics is that branch of applied mechanics that concerns with the study of fluids at rest and motion. The branches of fluid mechanics are: a- Fluid statics 1- Hydrostatics: study of incompressible fluids at rest. 2- Aerostatics: study of compressible gases at rest. b- Fluid dynamics Study of fluid, velocity and acceleration, etc. with force or energy causing flow. 1- Hydrodynamics: study of incompressible flow of liquids. 2- Aerodynamics: study of compressible and incompressible flow of gases. c- Fluid Kinematics Study of flow patterns and relation between velocity and acceleration of fluid without reference to the cause of motion (like force or energy). Hydraulics is the study of liquids at rest and motion. 1.2 SCOPE OF FLUID MECHANICS A knowledge of fluid mechanics is required: i- to understand the fluid behavior under all conditions of rest and motion. ii- to determine the pressure distribution on hydraulic structures like dams, spillways, and gates. iii- for flow classification and flow analysis in pipes, open channels, and groundwater flow. iv- for the design of ships and naval vessels. 1.3 DIMENSIONS AND UNITS Physical quantities such as length, time, mass, and temperature are referred as dimensions, whereas meter, second, kilogram, and Kelvin are referred as units. For example, Width and height have the dimension of length [L] and unit of (m), (cm), (mm), etc. Table 1.1 gives the main dimensions and units in the international system of units (SI System).

1.4 FLUID PROPERTIES 1.4.1 Density (ρ) The density, ρ, of a fluid is defined as its mass per unit volume.
where m is the mass of the fluid and V its volume. Fluid density is related to two properties, specific weight , and relative density S.
where w is the weight of the fluid. Because w=mg, where g is the acceleration of gravity (g=9.81 m/s2), Eq. (1.2) can be written as
The relative density S of a liquid (sometimes specific gravity) is the ratio of its mass to the mass of an equal volume of water at standard conditions. CE325 Fluid Mechanics, Mr. Khalid Fadel

1.4.2 Viscosity (µ) The viscosity, µ, is the property that causes existence of friction forces in flowing fluids result from cohesion and momentum interchange between molecules. In liquids viscosity decreases with increasing temperature, while in gases viscosity increases with increasing temperature. Consider the situation in Fig. 1.1, where a fluid is between to plates, the top plate is moved by a force F moving at a constant velocity v.

The constant of proportionality is known as the dynamic viscosity µ. Since shear stress as

then
This relation is right when the velocity profile is linear. In general the velocity profile is as shown in Fig. 1.2
This relation (Eq. 1.10) is known as Newton’s law of viscosity.

1.4.3 Surface Tension At the interface between a liquid and a gas, or two immiscible liquids, a film seems to form on the liquid owing to attraction of liquid molecules below the surface. The surface tension is then the stretching force required to form this film. Surface tension is the force per unit length, the SI unit of is N/m
Capillary attraction is caused by surface tension and by the relative value of adhesion between liquid and solid to cohesion of the liquid. In Fig. 1.9 (a) water wets the glass because force of adhesion is greater than force of cohesion that cause capillary rise. In Fig. 1.9 (b) mercury doesn't wet the glass because force of cohesion is greater than force of adhesion that cause capillary depression. F

1.4.4 Vapor Pressure Liquids evaporate because of molecules escaping from the liquid surface. The vapor molecules exert a partial pressure in the space, known as vapor pressure Pv. The vapor pressure depends upon temperature and increase with it. When the pressure above a liquid equals the vapor pressure of the liquid boiling occurs, in this condition, Pv is called saturation vapor pressure SVP. Boiling of water, for example may occur at room temperature if the pressure is reduced sufficiently, see Fig. 1.11. Pv has the dimensions of pressure ( [Pv]= F/L2, SI unit is Pa or N/m2 ).

1.5 Compressibility The compressibility is the capability of a substance of being reduced in volume by application of pressure. Compressibility of a fluid is expressed by means of its bulk modulus of elasticity K.
At normal temperature and pressure condition Kwater= 2.07 × 106 kpa and Kair= 101.3 kpa, that means, air (a gas) is 20,000 times more compressible than water (a liquid). For this reason, the density of liquids can be assumed to be constant without any serious loss in accuracy. On the other hand, gases are very compressible.
Example 1-6 Find the bulk modulus of elasticity of a liquid if its volume is decreased by 15% when the applied pressure is increased from 700 N/cm2 to 1300 N/cm2. Solution

2.3 PRESSURE AND ITS MEASUREMENTS The atmosphere of Earth is the layer of gases surrounding the planet Earth that is retained by Earth's gravity. Atmospheric pressure is the total weight of the air above unit area at the point where the pressure is measured. Thus air pressure varies with location and weather. The average atmospheric pressure at sea level is called standard atmospheric pressure. The local atmospheric pressure may be lower or higher than the standard atmospheric pressure; lower if the place under question is higher than sea level and higher if the place is lower than sea level.

(-)ve gauge pressure
Absolute Pressure Local barometer reading
Absolute Pressure Absolute zero (perfect vacuum)
Fig. 2.7 Absolute and gauge pressure
Pressure measured above the perfect vacuum (absolute zero) is called absolute pressure, Fig. 2.7. The perfect vacuum is the lowest possible pressure, therefore, an absolute pressure is always positive. Gauges record pressure above or below the local atmospheric pressure, since they measure the difference in pressure of the fluid to which they are connected and that of the surrounding air. Hence the gauge pressure may be positive or negative (vacuum pressure). Absolute pressure = Local atmospheric pressure + Gauge pressure
Pressure can be recorded by: 1- Barometer (for local atmospheric Pressure) 2- Bourdon gauge (pressure at a point) 3- Piezometer (pressure at a point) 4- Manometer (pressure at a point) 5- Differential manometer (pressure difference between two points) 6- Inclined manometer (for measurement of pressure to a great sensitivity) 7- Micro manometer (for measurement of pressure to a great sensitivity)

2.3.2 Bourdon Gauge Pressure at a point in fluid is commonly measured by Bourdon gauge, Fig 2.11. In this gauge a curved hollow matal tube, open to the fluid, of elleptical cross-section changes its curvature according to the pressure. Bourdon gauge records pressure above or below the local atmospheric pressure, since it measures the difference in pressure of the fluid to which it is connected and that of the surrounding air. A pressure and vacuum gauge can be combined into one called the compound gauge.

2.6 BUOYANCY FORCE A buoyancy force is defined as the net force exerted from fluid pressure on the surface of an object that is either completely or partially submerged in a fluid at rest. The buoyancy force and its line of action can be found by the principles just introduced for the calculation of forces on curved surfaces. Consider a body immersed in a liquid , Fig. 2.72. The horizontal components balance each other, the vertical components are , and , thus the forces acting on the body in vertical direction are: i- the weight W of the body ii- the net vertical component of the fluid pressure E

A submerged body or floating body is buoyed up with a force equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the body and is called the force of buoyancy, FB, and acts through the center of gravity of the displaced volume and is called the center of buoyancy, B. If the fluid is homogeneous and the body is homogeneous, then the center of gravity of the body, G, and the center of gravity of the displaced fluid, B coincide.

When a body (stone or steel ball) is weighed in a liquid its effective weight is . Thus when a body is immersed in a liquid it suffers an apparent loss of weight equal to the weight of the liquid displaced, which is called the principle of Archimedes (250 B.C.).

CHAPTER THREE BASIC CONCEPTS OF FLUID FLOW
3.1 INTRODUCTION The foundational axioms of fluid flow are the conservation laws, specifically, conservation of mass, conservation of energy (also known as first law of thermodynamics), and conservation of linear momentum (also known as Newton’s second law of motion). i. Conservation of Mass States that matter can be neither created nor destroyed. In fluid mechanics the rate of change of fluid mass inside a control volume must be equal to the net rate of fluid flow into the volume. ii. Conservation of Energy States that energy can be neither created nor destroyed, although it can be changed from one form into another. In an isolated system the sum of all forms of energy therefore remains constant. iii. Conservation of Linear Momentum States the fact that a body or system of bodies in motion retains its total momentum unless an external force is applied to it. The fundamental equations in fluid mechanics which are mathematical formulations of these conservation laws are: 1. Continuity Equation Implies to the law of conservation of mass. 2. Energy Equation and Bernoulli Equation Implies to the law of conservation of energy. 3. Momentum Equation Implies to the law of conservation of linear momentum. 3.2 STEADY AND UNSTEADY FLOW If the velocity (or any other variable) at a point remains constant with respect to time, the flow is said to be steady, otherwise unsteady (also called transient).

59
3.3 UNIFORM AND NON-UNIFORM FLOW If the velocity (or any other variable) at a point remains constant with respect to distance along a stream line, the flow is said to be uniform, otherwise non-uniform.
Steadiness refers to 'no change with time' and uniformity refers to 'no change with distance' therefore the flow can be steady or unsteady quite independent of its being uniform or non-uniform. Hence there can be four flow classifications as shown in Fig. 3.1.

3.4 COMPRESSIBLE AND INCOMPRESSIBLE FLOW All fluids are compressible to some extent, that is, changes in pressure or temperature cause changes in density. However, in many situations the changes in pressure and temperature are sufficiently small that the changes in density are negligible, in this case the flow can be considered as an incompressible flow. Otherwise the more general compressible flow equations must be used.
3.5 STREAM LINE, STREAM TUBE, STREAK LINE, AND PATH LINE A stream line is an imaginary line within the flow for which the tangent at any point gives the velocity vector at that point and at that instant. Fig. 3.2(a) A stream line cannot intersect itself nor two stream lines can cross. Stream lines show the mean direction of a number of fluid particles at the same instant of time. Fig. 3.3(a) Stream lines v Stream line
(a) Stream line
(b) Stream tube Fig. 3.2 Stream line and stream tube
A stream tube is an imaginary tube of fluid bounded by closely spaced stream lines which enclose or confine the flow. Fig. 3.2(b). Streak lines are the lines traced by all the fluid particles at a given point at a particular instant. Fig. 3.3(b). A path line is the line traced by a single particle during successive instants of time and shows the directions of velocity (of the same fluid particle) at successive instants of time. A path line can intersect itself. Fig. 3.3(c). The stream line pattern remains same when the flow is steady. For unsteady flow, the stream line pattern changes from instant to instant. Stream lines, path lines and streak lines are all same for steady flow.

3.6 FLOW RATE The discharge, Q, often called the volume flow rate, is the volume of fluid that passes through a cross-sectional area per unit time. The mass flow rate, ̇ , is the mass of fluid passing through a crosssectional area per unit time. Fig. 3.4. [ ⁄ ] [ ⁄ ] ̇

3.7 CONTROL VOLUME A control volume is a volume located in space through which matter can pass. The selection of the control volume position and shape is problem-dependent. The control volume, CV, is enclosed by the control surface, CS, as shown in Fig. 3.5. Fluid mass enters and leaves the control volume through the control surface. The control volume can deform with time as well as move and rotate in space and the mass in the control volume can change with time. The control surface are represented by a vector, ⃗ , oriented outward from the control volume and with magnitude equal to the cross-sectional area. CE325 Fluid Mechanics, Mr. Khalid Fadel

3.8 CONTINUITY EQUATION The law of conservation of mass, as mentioned before, states that the rate of change of fluid mass inside a control volume must be equal to the net rate of fluid flow into the volume. The general form of the continuity equation is as follows: ∫
∫
⃗
⃗
The first term represents the rate of decreasing of the mass inside the control volume. The second term represents the net mass outflow rate leaving the control volume (outflow – inflow). If the control volume has only a number of one-dimensional inlets and outlets, that is the velocities are uniform over the cross section, we can write ∑ ⃗ ⃗

In case of steady state the first term in Eq. 3.5 equals to zero, hence we can write ∫

3.10.5 Cavitation In an enclosed flow system, Fig. 3.35, if the pressure at any point falls below the vapor pressure of the liquid, the liquid flashes into vapor and bubbles begin to form and travel along the flow till they reach a high pressure zone where they suddenly collapse. This phenomenon is known as cavitation. If the bubbles collapse on metallic surfaces, like impellers or blades of pumps or turbines, they cause damage called 'pitting'. Therefore cavitation must be avoided in the design of enclosed flow systems. Fig. 3.36 shows the condition of the negative pressure causing cavitation. TEL v12 2g

This point is known as a stagnation point.

CHAPTER FOUR VISCOUS FLOW IN CLOSED CONDUITS
4.1 INTRODUCTION A conduit is any pipe, tube, or duct that is completely filled with a flowing fluid. Examples include a pipeline transporting water or liquefied natural gas, and a duct transporting air for heating of a building. A pipe that is partially filled with a flowing fluid, for example a drainage pipe, is classified as an open-channel flow and will be analyzed separately. In ideal fluid flow there is no energy loss because shear stress is not considered. In reality there is no existence of ideal (or inviscid) fluid. In real (or technically viscous or viscid) fluid flow energy loss takes place because shear stress is considered. The main goal of this chapter is to describe how to predict head loss 4.2 ENERGY EQUATION The law of conservation of energy, as presented in chapter three, states that energy can be neither created nor destroyed, although it can be changed from one form into another. In an isolated system the sum of all forms of energy therefore remains constant. The general energy equation in the direction of flow in a pipe (Fig. 4.1) can be written as, Energy at Sec.1 + Energy added - Energy deleted = Energy at Sec.2 + Energy lost The above energy equation can be written as, (
)
(
)
Where Hp is the head added by pump (energy added per unit weight), [L] Ht is the head deleted by turbine or fluid motors (energy deleted per unit weight), [L] hL is the head losses (the summation of hf, major losses due to friction, and hm, minor losses due to fittings fixed on conduits, inlets, outlets, and valves), [L] the other terms were predefined in section 3.9

4.3 LAMINAR AND TURBULENT FLOW Flow in a conduit is classified as being either laminar or turbulent, depending on the magnitude of the Reynolds number. The original research involved visualizing flow in a glass tube as shown in Fig. 4.7a. Reynolds in the 1880s injected dye into the center of the tube and observed the following: - When the velocity was low, the streak of dye (a streakline) will remain as a well-defined line as it flows along. - If velocity was increased, the dye streak fluctuates and intermittent bursts of irregular behavior appear along the streak. - If velocity was increased, the dye streak almost immediately becomes blurred and spreads across the entire pipe in a random fashion. These three characteristics, denotes as laminar, transitional, and turbulent flow, respectively, are illustrated in Fig. 4.8b. Dye

Based on Reynolds’ experiments, engineers use guidelines to establish whether or not flow in a conduit will be laminar or turbulent. The guidelines used in this text are as follows: Re < 2000 2000 ≤ Re ≤ 4000 Re > 4000
Where D is the pipe diameter, respectively

4.4 HEAD LOSSES 4.4.1 Head Loss Due to Friction The Darcy-Weisbach equation (Eq. 4.3) is the most general equation in the pipe flow application. It was obtained experimentally.
The friction relation depends on the state of flow, which is classified according to the Renolds number. For laminar flow (Re <2000), the friction factor is a function of the Renolds number only.
In the critical region of Re between 2000 and 4000 (transitional flow) the flow alternates between laminar and turbulent flow. Any friction factor relation cannot be applied with certainty in this region. In turbulent regime, the friction factor is a function of the Renolds number as well as the relative roughness of the pipe surface. During 1932 and 1933, Nikuradse published the results of now famous experiments on smooth (uncoated) and rough pipes coated with sand grains of uniform size. In contrast to the Nikuradse sand roughness, the roughness of the commercial pipe is not uniform, it is given in equivalent sand roughness. Table 4.1indicates equivalent roughness, , for pipe of different material. Prandtl and von Karaman established the following equations for smooth and fully rough pipes of. For smooth pipe in a turbulent regime:

Zone illustrated in Fig. 4.10b. iii- Flow in partially rough pipe where both the relative roughness and viscosity are significant. It is transitional zone from smooth to rough pipes.

(1) and calculate a new f from the left- hand side of Eq. (1) ( f = 0.0316 in this case). Since the two value do not agree, the assumed value is not the solution. Hence, we try again. This time we assume f = 0.0316 (the last value calculated) and calculate a new value as f =0.0313. One more iteration shows that the assumed and the calculated values converge to the solution: f =0.0313.

4.5 Noncircular Conduits Many round pipe results can be carried over, with slight modification, to flow in conduits of other shapes. Practical, easy-to-use results can be obtained by introducing the hydraulic diameter.

4.6 Hazen=Williams Equation for Fiction Head Loss Another common formula for head loss in pipes that has found almost exclusive usage on water supply engineering is the Hazen-Williams equation:
where v A R S
= = = =
mean velocity of flow, (m/s) Hazen-Williams coefficient of roughness given in table (4.1) hydraulic radius, (m) slope of energy gradient
where A P hf L
= = = =
cross-sectional flow area wetted perimeter friction head loss length of conduit
Hazen-Williams equation can be written as

Note that for circular pipe as follows:
⁄
⁄ , Eq. (4.15) can be rearranged for circular pipe
Two sources of error in the Hazen-Williams equation formula are: (1)the multiplying factor 0.849 should change for different R and S, and (2) the Hazen-Williams coefficient C is considered to be related to the pipe material only, whereas it must also depend on pipe diameter, velocity, and viscosity similar to the friction factor of Darcy-Weisbach.
