FLUID MECHANICS Fluids mechanics is a branch of mechanics that is concerned with properties of gases and liquids. Mechanics is important as all physical activities involves fluid environments‚ be it air‚ water or a combination of both. The type of fluid environment we experience impacts on performance. Flotation The ability to maintain a stationary on the surface of the water- varies from he on person to another. Our body floats on water when forces created by its weight are matched equally

negligible loses‚ 3 standard flanged 90 smooth elbows (KL = 0.3 each)‚ and a sharp-edged exit (KL = 1.0). We choose points 1 and 2 at the free surfaces of the river and the tank‚ respectively. We note that the fluid at both points is open to the atmosphere (and thus P1 = P2 = Patm)‚ and the fluid velocity is 6 ft/s at point 1 and zero at point 2 (V1 = 6 ft/s and V2 =0). We take the free surface of the river as the reference level (z1 = 0). Then the energy equation for a control volume between these two

INTRODUCTION When a fluid is passing through an object‚ it produces a total force on the object. This force is a combined force of lift and drag forces (Anderson 2007). External flows past objects have been studied extensively because of their many practical applications. For example‚ airfoils are made into streamline shapes in order to increase the lifts‚ and at the same time‚ reducing the aerodynamic drags exerted on the wings. On the other hand‚ flow past a blunt body‚ such as a circular cylinder

Fluid Report 2 In the derivation of Bernoulli’s equation‚ the assumption of the inviscid and incompressible flow is used. However in the real case‚ the viscosity cannot be neglect and the density of the flow is not always constant. Thus Bernoulli’s equation is not always correct. For the lab‚ it is reasonable to assume the flow is inviscid and incompressible. Firstly‚ the pitot was placed at the center of the flow. The skin friction (effect of viscosity) is inversely proportional to distance

Fluid intelligence reflects information processing capabilities‚ reasoning‚ and memory. It is used to evolve the ability to think clearly. For instance‚ a person who is asked to arrange a series of letters according to some rule or to memorize a set of numbers uses fluid intelligence. Although it is defined as the inmate and learning caoacity of all individuals. To my knowledge fluid intelligence is used in so many ways‚ throughout the country. It normally affect’s children during childhood and

Simply stated‚ assets represent value of ownership that can be converted into cash (although cash itself is also considered an asset).The balance sheet of a firm records the monetary value of the assets owned by the firm. It is money and other valuables belonging to an individual or business. Two major asset classes are tangible assets and intangible assets. Tangible assets contain various

CBE 6333‚ R. Levicky 1 Potential Flow Part I. Theoretical Background. Potential Flow. Potential flow is frictionless‚ irrotational flow. Even though all real fluids are viscous to some degree‚ if the effects of viscosity are sufficiently small then the accompanying frictional effects may be negligible. Viscous effects become negligible‚ for example‚ for flows at high Reynolds number that are dominated by convective transport of momentum. Thus potential flow is often useful for analyzing external

I. Lubricants selection and Application A.Viscosity Most important property of any lubricant is viscosity. A common mistake when selecting a grease is to confuse the grease consistency with the base oil viscosity. Because the majority of grease-lubricated applications are element bearings‚ one should consider viscosity selection for those applications. While most would not use an EP 220 gear oil for an oil-lubricated electric motor bearing‚ many people will use a grease containing that same oil
