2. Chapter 13 Fluids

3. Introduction Our Perspective on Fluids –An application of Classical Mechanics –The form of the objects are not solid as they have been studied so far –There is a need to introduce new complexity, which produces some surprising results –More hard work, but enjoy! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UkmfmosZ ONc http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UkmfmosZ ONc

4. Introduction … Our approach –In addition to mass, add volume and density –In addition to force, add pressure –Encounter new definitions and phenomena: specific gravity, gauge pressure, Pascal’s principle, buoyancy, Archimedes’ Principle, fluid flow –Conservation of energy leads to Bernoulli’s equation and Bernoulli's principle –A look at other interesting phenomena to gain familiarity

5. Phases of matter A wide variety of phases –Well beyond those listed in text Our interest in two: liquids and gasses –Their macroscopic and microscopic properties –Both in the general category of fluids

6. Density and specific gravity We will focus on volumes of substances –Therefore need to know and use density –Distinguish mass and volume (old joke) –Data analysis activity (handout) Comparison of a substance’s density to the density of water –through “specific gravity”

7. Pressure … General definition of pressure Pressure in fluids acts in all directions –Demonstration Direction of pressure on a volume in a fluid –Question for discussion Tutorial on Pressure in a Liquid (handout) –With demonstration or video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E_hci9vrvfw

8. Pressure (cont’d) … Effect of elevation on atmospheric pressure –Simple model –Guess & check a solutionGuess & check a solution Absolute and gauge pressure

9. Pressure (cont’d) Pascal’s Principle –Demonstration –Statement and proof –Understanding hydraulic devices Measurement of pressure –Understanding devices, units Examples Question

10. Buoyancy & Archimedes’ Principle Demonstration questionquestion Buoyancy ILD (handout) Clarifying discussion –Source of buoyancy; questionquestion –Archimedes’ principle –Static fluid ILD (handout, if time available) –Questions from Buoyancy ILD 1 2 3 4 512345 –Canal bridge questionquestion –Balloon in car questionquestion

11. Fluids in Motion; Flow rate and continuity equation Two main types of fluid flow: streamline (laminar) and turbulent flow –Character of each –Mechanical energy loss in each Equation of continuity –Derivation –For incompressible fluids –Examples

12. Bernoulli’s Equation Derivation exercise (on whiteboards) –Draw the iconic diagram and label the elements needed for the derivation. –Why are the end sections singled out? –What is the work done on the fluid in the time Δt? –What is the change in mechanical energy during the time Δt? –What is implied by the conservation of mechanical energy?

13. Bernoulli’s Equation (cont’d) What is assumed in the derivation of Bernoulli’s equation? Jeopardy questions (handouts)

14. Bernoulli’s Principle Special cases of Bernoulli’s equation –Torricelli's’ theorem – jeopardy question –Bernoulli’s principle – jeopardy question Applications –Mini-experiments in small groups –Atomizer –Ball in air stream –Sail –Curve ball –Cylindrical sail

15. More…(comments) Viscosity Flow in tubes; Poiseuille’s Equation –Surface tension and Capillarity –Scaling comment on both Capillarity: up or down Pumps
