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 | ||
