CONCLUSION

-
Pressure, Archimedes and Bernoulli and the continuity equations are the most fundamental equations in Fluid Mechanics. They will be used very frequently in the next chapter after this. In chapter Four which is Basic Equations in Fluid Mechanic, either the Bernoulli equation or the continuity equation is used together with the mass and momentum equations to find out the torques and forces acting on fluid systems. So, it is very important for all of us to understand this equation. To wrap up this chapter, we can conclude that,

ARCHIMEDES' PRINCIPLE

What is Archimedes' Principle? Archimedes' principle states that the upward buoyant force that is exerted on a body immersed in a fluid, whether fully or partially submerged, is equal to the weight of the fluid that the body displaces and acts in the upward direction at the center of mass of the displaced fluid. Archimedes' principle is a law of physics fundamental to fluid mechanics. It was formulated by Archimedes of Syracuse.  Archimedes' principle does not consider the surface tension (capillarity) acting on the body.  Moreover, Archimedes' principle has been found to break down in complex fluids . Fb = ρgV = ρghA Fb = buoyant force of a liquid acting on an object (N) ρ = density of the liquid(kg/m3) g = gravitational acceleration(9.80 m/s2) V = volume of liquid displaced (m3 or liters, where 1 m3 = 1000 L) h = height of water displaced by a floating object(m) A = surface area of a floating object(m2) Buoyancy Formula Questions: 1.   A

INTRODUCTION: BASIC EQUATION IN FLUID MECHANICS

-
Derivations of the basic equations of fluid mechanics are very necessary because they fulfill the requirements for the broadest applicability in areas of science and engineering. Fluid mechanics considerations are applied in many fields, especially in engineering. Concerning the formulation of the basic equations of fluids mechanics, it is easy to formulate the conservation equations for mass, momentum, energy and chemical species for a fluid element. The derivations of basic equations can be represented in an easily comprehensible way and it is possible to build up the derivations upon the basic knowledge of physics. Derivations of the basic equations are usually followed by transformation considerations whose aim is to derive local formulations of the conservation equations and to introduce field quantities into the mathematical representations.             The objective of the derivations is to formulate the conservation laws for mass, momentum, energy and chemical species in

PRESSURE

Pressure Terminology  P = ρgh There are three different kinds of pressure reported in the literature, and it is important to know the terminology: 1.       Absolute pressure is measured relative to absolute zero on the pressure scale, which is a perfect vacuum. (Absolute pressure can never be negative.) Absolute pressure is indicated by P and is identical to the familiar thermodynamic pressure. 2.       Gage pressure (sometimes written as "gauge pressure") is measured relative to the local atmospheric pressure. Gage pressure is thus zero when the pressure is the same as atmospheric pressure. (It is possible to have negative gage pressure.) Gage pressure is indicated by Pg and is related to absolute pressure as follows: Pg = P - Pa, where pa is the local atmospheric pressure. 3.       Vacuum pressure is also measured relative to the local atmospheric pressure, but is used when the gage pressure is negative, i.e. when the absolute pressure falls below the loc
