Lecture 19. Fluid Principles

PHYS 1750: SELECTED TOPICS in PHYSICS
LECTURE 20. Fluid Dynamics.

11.i. Flow:
Laminar vs. turbulent flow
11.1. The Continuity Equation
1. Flow rate: FV = V / Δt m3/s
or, more properly Fm = m / Δt = ρV / Δt kg/s
2. V = Δs A, where Δs = distance along flow, A = area of flow
3. Δs / Δt = v
4. ρvA = Constant
11.2. Bernoulli's equation: P + ρv2/2 + ρgh = Constant
a. Conservation of energy
b. Static fluids: v = 0; becomes hydrostatic equilibrium
c. Dynamic "Lift"
11.3. General Applications: Pipes, dams, and holes
