Fluid properties – Day 2
2
Quick review from last time Fluid properties (qualitative) Quantitative response to pressure (stress) –A few extra comments Quantitative response to shear (stress) –A few extra comments
3
Summary from last time
4
Response of fluids to pressure stress
5
Response of fluid to shear stress
6
Surface Tension Beading, formation of liquid drops, and suspension of objects heavier than the liquid Images from wikipedia.org
7
Surface tension – a liquid property The surface tension depends on the materials at the interface –Surface tension depends on fluid and gas; force, F = σL –The contact force between the droplet and a (wetted) solid surface depends on how “fluid-phobic” the surface is (to that particular fluid) Mercury Water example
8
Surface tension for liquid/fluid interface When two surfaces contact, they meet at a line – the length of that line is key for surface tension Parallel to the solid surface is
10
Note dependence on R Recall g is specific weight
11
Why 2
12
Vapor Pressure Analogy: boiling temperature –Boiling temperature = temperature at which a liquid boils –Below maintains a liquid –Dependent on pressure Vapor pressure –Vapor pressure = pressure at which a liquid vaporizes –Above, maintains a liquid –Dependent on temperature (Need gas/liquid interface)
13
Boiling will occur In Denver the atmospheric pressure is only 95% (see page 40) On Everest only 75%--the boiling points are reduced accordingly
