FE Statics s! s are substances in either the liquid or gas phase! s cannot support shear, and they deform continuously to minimize applied shear forces
FE Statics
FE Statics Viscosity! Shear stress (!): force required to slide one unit area layer of a substance over another! Viscosity ("): measure of a fluid s resistance to flow when acted upon by an external force (i.e., ease with which a fluid pours)! As a fluid moves a shear stress is developed in it; magnitude is dependent on viscosity of fluid
F/A is the fluid shear stress (!) and the constant of proportionality p is the absolute viscosity ("): FE Statics! # " du dy Newtonian fluids: strains are proportional to the applied shear stress Non-Newtonian Newtonian fluids: fluid shear stress can be computed using the power law The kinematic viscosity is the ratio of the absolute viscosity to mass density: $ % # "
FE Statics
FE Statics Surface Tension! The skin that seems to form on the free surface of a fluid is caused by intermolecular cohesive forces and is known as surface tension, &! Surface tension can be interpreted as the tensile force between two points a unit distance apart on the surface
FE Statics Capillarity! Capillary action is caused by surface tension between the liquid and a vertical solid surface! In water, adhesive forces between liquid molecules and surface are greater than cohesive forces between water molecules; adhesive forces cause water to attach itself to and climb solid vertical surface
FE Pressure Statics! Hydrostatic pressure is the pressure a fluid exerts on an immersed object or on container walls! Pressure is equal to the force per unit area of the surface: F P # A
FE Statics Pressure! Gage pressure: measured relative to a reference pressure - typically local atmospheric pressure! Absolute pressure: measured relative to a perfect vacuum! Absolute, gage, and atmospheric pressure are related as follows: P abs = P gage + P atm
FE Pressure Statics P 1 gage P 1 abs P 2 abs P 2 gage Munson et al. (2002)
FE Hydrostatic Pressure Statics 'P P = change in pressure ( = specific weight of fluid 'h h = change in depth in fluid 'P P = ('h ***Incompressible fluid at rest
FE Statics Manometry! Manometers measure pressure or pressure differences! Differential manometers: both ends connected to pressure sources! Open manometers: one end open to the atmosphere
FE Solving Manometer Problems Statics 1. Select a convenient starting point (usually at one of the endpoints) 2. Using 'P P = (h, write expressions for changes in pressure from starting point to point at opposite end of manometer system. Watch algebraic signs! 3. Equate expression from step 2 to pressure at final point 4. Substitute known values and solve for desired quantity
FE Barometers Statics
FE Buoyancy Statics! The buoyant force exerted by a fluid is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced and is directed vertically upward (Archimedes Principle): F b = (VV d where F b = the buoyant force ( = specific weight of the fluid V d = displaced volume of the fluid
FE Displaced Volume Statics Displaced volume
FE Statics Solving Buoyancy Problems! If the object is at rest in the fluid, use the equation of static equilibrium in the vertical direction, )F y = 0! The buoyant force passes vertically through the centroid of the displaced volume of fluid. This point is called the center of buoyancy.
FE Forces on Surfaces Statics! Pressure on a horizontal plane surface is uniform over the surface! Resultant t force of pressure distribution ib ti acts through center of pressure of surface and is: R # PA R = resultant vertical force P = pressure on the horizontal surface A = area of submerged horizontal surface

FE Statics Laminar and Turbulent Flow Laminar Flow:! Relatively low velocities! No mixing or a very small degree of mixing! appears to flow in continuous layers with no interaction between the layers Turbulent Flow:! Relatively high velocities! High degree of mixing! motion appears chaotic
