Compressibility Compressible fluids Incompressible fluids In fluid mechanics we deal with both compressible and incompressible fluids of either variable or constant density. Although there is no such thing in reality as incompressible fluid, we use this terms where the change in density with pressure is so small as to be negligible. This is usually the case with liquids. Ordinarily, we consider the liquids as incompressible. We may consider the gases to be incompressible when the pressure variation is small compared with absolute pressure.
Compressibility Compressible fluids Fluids which can be compressed. Fluid in which there is a change in volume with change in pressure P P P P v v v v 4 As a result of change in volume, density and specific weight of fluid also changes. Hence, for compressible fluids, v v
Compressibility Incompressible fluids Fluids which can not be compressed. Fluid in which there is no change in volume with change in pressure P P P P v v v v v 5 As a result, no-change in volume, density and specific weight of fluid. Hence, for incompressible fluids, v v
Compressibility (Volumetric Strain) 6 Volumetric Strain is the ratio of change in volume and original volume. P P v v P P v v / / / v dv v v v M v M v M v Volumetric strain=change in specific volume/original specific volume. d
Compressibility Bulk Modulus or Volume Modulus of Elasticity (Ev): It is defined as ratio of volumetric stress to volumetric strain E v = volumetric stress/volumetric strain E v =change in pressure/compressibility E v dp dv v E v dp d 7
Viscosity The viscosity of a fluid is a measure of its resistance to shear or angular deformation. It is the property of a fluid by mixture of which it offers resistance to deformation under the influence of shear forces. It depends upon the cohesion and molecular momentum exchange between fluid layers. It can also be defined as internal resistance offered by fluid to flow. It is denoted by μ. It is also termed as coefficient of viscosity or absolute viscosity or dynamic viscosity or molecular viscosity. 8
Factor affecting viscosity. Cohesion. Molecular momentum. Cohesion: It is the attraction between molecules of fluid. More the molecular attraction (cohesion) more is the viscosity (resistance to flow) of fluid. It is dominant in liquids.. Molecular momentum: Molecules in any fluid change their position with time and is known as molecular activity. More the molecular activity more will be viscosity of the fluid. It is dominant in gases A B 9
Effect of temperature on viscosity 0 For Liquids: In case of liquids, cohesion (molecular attraction is dominant). Therefore, if the temperature of liquid is increased, its cohesion and hence viscosity will decrease. For Gases: T In gases momentum exchange is dominant. Therefore, if the temperature of gases is increases, its momentum exchange will increase and hence viscosity will increase. T
Kinematic Viscosity It is ratio of absolute viscosity and density of fluid. It is denoted by (nu)

Space between the plates is filled with a fluid having viscosity, μ. U u Moving plate Force, F Y dy du Fixed plate F= Applied force (shearing force) A= Contact area of plate(resisting area) Y=gap/space between plates U= Velocity of plate As the upper plate moves, fluid also moves in the direction of applied force due to adhesion.

Newton s Equation of Viscosity At boundaries the particles of fluid adhere to wall and so their velocities are zero relative to wall. This so called non-slip condition occurs in viscous fluids 4
Newton s Equation of Viscosity dy du The above equation is called as Newton s equation of viscosity. The equation shows that the shearing stress is directly proportional to the velocity gradient. In the above equation du/dy= velocity gradient or rate of change of deformation or shear rate μ = absolute viscosity τ=shear stress 5

Measurement of Viscosity The following devices are used for the measurement of viscosity. Tube type viscometer. Rotational type viscometer 3. Falling sphere type viscometer 40
Falling Sphere Viscometer It consists of a tall transparent tube or cylinder and a sphere of known diameter. The sphere is dropped inside the tube containing liquid and time of fall of sphere between two points (say A and B) is recorded to estimate the fall velocity (s/t)of sphere inside liquid. Where s = distance between point A and B and t is the time of travel. From this velocity of fall, viscosity is estimated from the expression of fall sphere type viscometer.

Falling Sphere Viscometer 43 Buoyancy: It is the resultant upward thrust exerted by the fluid on a sphere. It is the tendency of fluid to lift the body and it is equal to weight of volume of fluid displaced by the body (Archimedes Principal). Drag Force: It is a resisting force generated by the liquid on the moving object which is acting in the opposite direction of movement.

Rotational Type Viscometer It consists of two concentric cylinders. Small cylinder is placed inside the bigger cylinder. The gap (space) between cylinders is filled with liquid up to a height, h,. Δr r r h Then either inner or outer cylinder is fixed and other is rotated by applying a constant torque. Revolution per minute (RPM) is measured which is indicative of viscosity. 53

Surface Tension The tension force created at the imaginary thin surface due to unbalanced-molecular attraction is termed as surface tension. B v A Molecule A in figure above is situated at a certain depth below the surface. It is acted upon by equal force from all sides whereas molecule B (situated at the surface) is acted upon by unbalanced forces from below. Thus a tight skin/film/surface is formed at the surface due to inward molecular pull. 59
Types of molecular attraction Cohesion: It is the attraction force between the molecules of same material Adhesion: It is the attraction force between the molecules of different materials Surface tension depends upon the relative magnitude of cohesion and adhesion but primarily it depend upon the cohesion. With the increase in temperature cohesion reduces and hence surface tension also reduces. Concept of surface tension is used in capillarity action 60
Capillarity It is the rise or fall of a liquid in a small diameter (< 0.5 ) tube due to surface tension and adhesion between liquid and solid. For capillary action diameter of tube is less than 0.5inch while for large diameter tubes this phenomenon become negligible. θ D h σ D θ h v v σ Water θ<90 Mercury θ>90 The curved surface that develops in tube is called meniscus 6

Vapor Pressure of liquids Vapor Pressure: It is the pressure at which liquid transforms into vapors or it is the pressure exerted by vapors of liquid. All the liquids have tendency to release their molecules in the space above their surface. If the liquid in container have limited space above it, then the surface is filled with the vapors. These vapors when released from liquid exert pressure known as vapor pressure. It is the function of temperature. More the temperature more will be vapor pressure. 66
Vapor Pressure of liquids Saturated vapor pressure: It is the vapor pressure that corresponds to the dynamic equilibrium conditions (saturation) i.e., when rate of evaporation becomes equal to rate of condensation. Boiling vapor pressure: The pressure at which vapor pressure becomes equal to atmospheric pressure. 67
