Fluid dynamics Fluids in motion Pumps Fans Compressors Turbines Heat exchangers
Conservation Energy & mass; neither created nor destroyed in ordinary process Control volume Steady state: no accumulation nor depletion
Flowing fluid Steady flow Uniform flow Mass flow rate: Kg/ time, lbm/time Volume flow rate: m 3 /time, ft 3 /time, cfm, gpm
Continuity Mass flow rate Volume flow rate
Nozzle (ρVA) 1 = (ρVA) 2
Energy balance Kinetic Potential Flow Energy – changes in properties
Bernoulli Equation Energy per weight of flowing fluid Head Pressure Velocity Elevation
Bernoulli Equation P/ - static pressure V 2 /2g – velocity pressure P T = P S + P V V = [(2g/) (P T – Ps)] 1/2
Bernoulli Equation Assumptions Steady state Incompressible fluid No friction in fluid stream
Bernoulli Equation Useful because: Process flow reasonable steady Compressibility effects small Friction effects minor
Example Water flowing from hose attached to a main at 400kPa. Boy covers most of hose outlet with thumb, producing a vertical, thin jet of high speed water. What is maximum height of jet?
Example A large tank open to the atmosphere is filled with water. A tap near the bottom of the tank is opened to allow flow from a smooth, rounded opening. Find the outlet velocity.
Example During a trip, motorist runs out of fuel. A helpful driver allows you to siphon fuel from her auto. (2) is located 0.75m below (1); (3) is 2m above (1). Siphon diameter is 4mm. Find the minimum time to transfer 4 L of fuel & the pressure at (3). Fuel density is 750 kg/m 3.
Homework Water flows through a 2-inch diameter pipe at 200 lbm/min. Its temperature is 60 o F. Find the velocity of water flow.
Homework Water from a pipe line is diverted into weigh tank for exactly 9 minutes. Tank weight increases 4765 lbf. Water temperature is 60 o F.
Homework Steady flow of gas through a pipe whose diameter decreases from 1.0 meter to 60cm. The gas density decreases from 2 kg/m 3 to 1.6 kg/m 3. The entering velocity is 25 m/s. What is exit velocity?
