The seventh edition of Fluid Mechanics sees some additions and deletions but no philosophical change. The basic outline of eleven chapters, plus appendices, remains the same. The triad of integral, differential, and experimental approaches is retained. Many problem exercises, and some fully worked examples, have been changed. The informal, student-oriented style is retained. A number of new photographs and figures have been added. Many new references have been added, for a total of 435. The writer is a firm believer in “further reading,” especially in the postgraduate years.. Learning Tools. The total number of problem exercises continues to increase, from 1089 in the first edition, to 1675 in this seventh edition. There are approximately 20 new problems added to each chapter. Most of these are basic end-of-chapter problems, classified according to topic. There are also Word Problems, multiple-choice Fundamentals of Engineering Problems, Comprehensive Problems, and Design Projects. The appendix lists approximately 700 Answers to Selected Problems. The example problems are structured in the text to follow the sequence of recommended steps outlined in Sect. 1.3, Problem-Solving Techniques. The Engineering Equation Solver (EES) is available with the text and continues its role as an attractive tool for fluid mechanics and, indeed, other engineering problems. Not only is it an excellent solver, but it also contains thermophysical properties, publication-quality plotting, units checking, and many mathematical functions, including numerical integration. The author is indebted to Sanford Klein and William Beckman, of the University of Wisconsin, for invaluable and continuous help in preparing and updating EES for use in this text. For newcomers to EES, a brief guide to its use is found on this book’s website.. Content Changes. There are some revisions in each chapter. Chapter 1 has added material on the history of late 20th century fluid mechanics, notably the development of Computational Fluid Dynamics. A very brief introduction to the acceleration field has been added. Boundary conditions for slip flow have been added. There is more discussion of the speed of sound in liquids. The treatment of thermal conductivity has been moved to Chapter 4. xi.

(18) whi29346_fm_i-xvi.qxd. xii. 12/14/09. 7:09PM. Page xii ntt 208:MHDQ176:whi29346:0073529346:whi29346_pagefiles:. Preface. Chapter 2 introduces a photo, discussion, and new problems for the deep ocean submersible vehicle, ALVIN. The density distribution in the troposphere is now given explicitly. There are brief remarks on the great Greek mathematician, Archimedes. Chapter 3 has been substantially revised. Reviewers wanted Bernoulli’s equation moved ahead of angular velocity and energy, to follow linear momentum. I did this and followed their specific improvements, but truly extensive renumbering and rearranging was necessary. Pressure and velocity conditions at a tank surface have an improved discussion. A brief history of the control volume has been added. There is a better treatment of the relation between Bernoulli’s equation and the energy equation. There is a new discussion of stagnation, static and dynamic pressures, and boundary conditions at a jet exit. Chapter 4 has a great new opener: CFD for flow past a spinning soccer ball. The total time derivative of velocity is now written out in full. Fourier’s Law, and its application to the differential energy equation, have been moved here from Chapter 1. There are 21 new problems, including several slip-flow analyses. The Chapter 5 introduction expands on the effects of Mach number and Froude number, instead of concentrating only on the Reynolds number. Ipsen’s method, which the writer admires, is retained as an alternative to the pi theorem. The new opener, a giant disk-band-gap parachute, allows for several new dimensional analysis problems. Chapter 6 has a new formula for entrance length in turbulent duct flow, sent to me by two different researchers. There is a new problem describing the flow in a fuel cell. The new opener, the Trans-Alaska Pipeline, allows for several innovative problems, including a related one on the proposed Alaska-Canada natural gas pipeline. Chapter 7 has an improved description of turbulent flow past a flat plate, plus recent reviews of progress in turbulence modeling with CFD. Two new aerodynamic advances are reported: the Finaish-Witherspoon redesign of the Kline-Fogelman airfoil and the increase in stall angle achieved by tubercles modeled after a humpback whale. The new Transition® flying car, which had a successful maiden flight in 2009, leads to a number of good problem assignments. Two other photos, Rocket Man over the Alps, and a cargo ship propelled by a kite, also lead to interesting new problems. Chapter 8 is essentially unchanged, except for a bit more discussion of modern CFD software. The Transition® autocar, featured in Chapter 7, is attacked here by aerodynamic theory, including induced drag. Chapter 9 benefited from reviewer improvement. Figure 9.7, with its 30-year-old curve-fits for the area ratio, has been replaced with fine-gridded curves for the areachange properties. The curve-fits are gone, and Mach numbers follow nicely from Fig. 9.7 and either Excel or EES. New Trends in Aeronautics presents the X-43 Scramjet airplane, which generates several new problem assignments. Data for the proposed Alaska-to-Canada natural gas pipeline provides a different look at frictional choking. Chapter 10 is basically the same, except for new photos of both plane and circular hydraulic jumps, plus a tidal bore, with their associated problem assignments. Chapter 11 has added a section on the performance of gas turbines, with application to turbofan aircraft engines. The section on wind turbines has been updated, with new data and photos. A wind-turbine-driven vehicle, which can easily move directly into the wind, has inspired new problem assignments..

Appendix B, Compressible Flow Tables, has been shortened by using coarser increments (0.1) in Mach number. Tables with much smaller increments are now on the bookswebsite. Appendix E, Introduction to EES, has been deleted and moved to the website, on the theory that most students are now quite familiar with EES.. Online Supplements. A number of supplements are available to students and/or instructors at the text website www.mhhe.com/white7e. Students have access to a Student Study Guide developed by Jerry Dunn of Texas A&M University. They are also able to utilize Engineering Equation Solver (EES), fluid mechanics videos developed by Gary Settles of Pennsylvania State University, and CFD images and animations prepared by Fluent Inc. Also available to students are Fundamentals of Engineering (FE) Exam quizzes, prepared by Edward Anderson of Texas Tech University. Instructors may obtain a series of PowerPoint slides and images, plus the full Solutions Manual, in PDF format. The Solutions Manual provides complete and detailed solutions, including problem statements and artwork, to the end-of-chapter problems. It may be photocopied for posting or preparing transparencies for the classroom. Instructors can also obtain access to C.O.S.M.O.S. for the seventh edition. C.O.S.M.O.S. is a Complete Online Solutions Manual Organization System instructors can use to create exams and assignments, create custom content, and edit supplied problems and solutions..

Fluid mechanics is the study of fluids either in motion (fluid dynamics) or at rest (fluid statics). Both gases and liquids are classified as fluids, and the number of fluid engineering applications is enormous: breathing, blood flow, swimming, pumps, fans, turbines, airplanes, ships, rivers, windmills, pipes, missiles, icebergs, engines, filters, jets, and sprinklers, to name a few. When you think about it, almost everything on this planet either is a fluid or moves within or near a fluid. The essence of the subject of fluid flow is a judicious compromise between theory and experiment. Since fluid flow is a branch of mechanics, it satisfies a set of welldocumented basic laws, and thus a great deal of theoretical treatment is available. However, the theory is often frustrating because it applies mainly to idealized situations, which may be invalid in practical problems. The two chief obstacles to a workable theory are geometry and viscosity. The basic equations of fluid motion (Chap. 4) are too difficult to enable the analyst to attack arbitrary geometric configurations. Thus most textbooks concentrate on flat plates, circular pipes, and other easy geometries. It is possible to apply numerical computer techniques to complex geometries, and specialized textbooks are now available to explain the new computational ufl id dynamics (CFD) approximations and methods [1–4].1 This book will present many theoretical results while keeping their limitations in mind. The second obstacle to a workable theory is the action of viscosity, which can be neglected only in certain idealized flows (Chap. 8). First, viscosity increases the difficulty of the basic equations, although the boundary-layer approximation found by Ludwig Prandtl in 1904 (Chap. 7) has greatly simplified viscous-flow analyses. Second, viscosity has a destabilizing effect on all fluids, giving rise, at frustratingly small velocities, to a disorderly, random phenomenon called turbulence. The theory of turbulent flow is crude and heavily backed up by experiment (Chap. 6), yet it can be quite serviceable as an engineering estimate. This textbook only introduces the standard experimental correlations for turbulent time-mean flow. Meanwhile, there are advanced texts on both time-mean turbulence and turbulence modeling [5, 6] and on the newer, computer-intensive direct numerical simulation (DNS) of fluctuating turbulence [7, 8]. 1. Numbered references appear at the end of each chapter.. 3.

Thus there is theory available for fluid flow problems, but in all cases it should be backed up by experiment. Often the experimental data provide the main source of information about specific flows, such as the drag and lift of immersed bodies (Chap. 7). Fortunately, fluid mechanics is a highly visual subject, with good instrumentation [9–11], and the use of dimensional analysis and modeling concepts (Chap. 5) is widespread. Thus experimentation provides a natural and easy complement to the theory. You should keep in mind that theory and experiment should go hand in hand in all studies of fluid mechanics.. 1.2 History and Scope of Fluid Mechanics. Fig. 1.1 Leonhard Euler (1707– 1783) was the greatest mathematician of the eighteenth century and used Newton’s calculus to develop and solve the equations of motion of inviscid flow. He published over 800 books and papers. [Courtesy of the School of Mathematics and Statistics, University of St Andrew, Scotland.]. Like most scientific disciplines, fluid mechanics has a history of erratically occurring early achievements, then an intermediate era of steady fundamental discoveries in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, leading to the twenty-first-century era of “modern practice,” as we self-centeredly term our limited but up-to-date knowledge. Ancient civilizations had enough knowledge to solve certain flow problems. Sailing ships with oars and irrigation systems were both known in prehistoric times. The Greeks produced quantitative information. Archimedes and Hero of Alexandria both postulated the parallelogram law for addition of vectors in the third century B.C. Archimedes (285–212 B.C.) formulated the laws of buoyancy and applied them to floating and submerged bodies, actually deriving a form of the differential calculus as part of the analysis. The Romans built extensive aqueduct systems in the fourth century B.C. but left no records showing any quantitative knowledge of design principles. From the birth of Christ to the Renaissance there was a steady improvement in the design of such flow systems as ships and canals and water conduits but no recorded evidence of fundamental improvements in flow analysis. Then Leonardo da Vinci (1452–1519) stated the equation of conservation of mass in one-dimensional steady flow. Leonardo was an excellent experimentalist, and his notes contain accurate descriptions of waves, jets, hydraulic jumps, eddy formation, and both low-drag (streamlined) and high-drag (parachute) designs. A Frenchman, Edme Mariotte (1620–1684), built the first wind tunnel and tested models in it. Problems involving the momentum of fluids could finally be analyzed after Isaac Newton (1642–1727) postulated his laws of motion and the law of viscosity of the linear fluids now called newtonian. The theory first yielded to the assumption of a “perfect” or frictionless fluid, and eighteenth-century mathematicians (Daniel Bernoulli, Leonhard Euler, Jean d’Alembert, Joseph-Louis Lagrange, and Pierre-Simon Laplace) produced many beautiful solutions of frictionless-flow problems. Euler, Fig. 1.1, developed both the differential equations of motion and their integrated form, now called the Bernoulli equation. D’Alembert used them to show his famous paradox: that a body immersed in a frictionless fluid has zero drag. These beautiful results amounted to overkill, since perfect-fluid assumptions have very limited application in practice and most engineering flows are dominated by the effects of viscosity. Engineers began to reject what they regarded as a totally unrealistic theory and developed the science of hydraulics, relying almost entirely on experiment. Such experimentalists as Chézy, Pitot, Borda, Weber, Francis, Hagen, Poiseuille, Darcy, Manning, Bazin, and Weisbach produced data on a variety of flows such as open channels, ship resistance, pipe flows, waves, and turbines. All too often the data were used in raw form without regard to the fundamental physics of flow..

Fig. 1.2 Ludwig Prandtl (1875– 1953), often called the “father of modern fluid mechanics” [15], developed boundary layer theory and many other innovative analyses. He and his students were pioneers in flow visualization techniques. [Aufnahme von Fr. Struckmeyer, Gottingen, courtesy AIP Emilio Segre Visual Archives, Lande Collection.]. 5. At the end of the nineteenth century, unification between experimental hydraulics and theoretical hydrodynamics finally began. William Froude (1810–1879) and his son Robert (1846–1924) developed laws of model testing; Lord Rayleigh (1842–1919) proposed the technique of dimensional analysis; and Osborne Reynolds (1842–1912) published the classic pipe experiment in 1883, which showed the importance of the dimensionless Reynolds number named after him. Meanwhile, viscous-flow theory was available but unexploited, since Navier (1785–1836) and Stokes (1819–1903) had successfully added newtonian viscous terms to the equations of motion. The resulting Navier-Stokes equations were too difficult to analyze for arbitrary flows. Then, in 1904, a German engineer, Ludwig Prandtl (1875–1953), Fig. 1.2, published perhaps the most important paper ever written on fluid mechanics. Prandtl pointed out that fluid flows with small viscosity, such as water flows and airflows, can be divided into a thin viscous layer, or boundary layer, near solid surfaces and interfaces, patched onto a nearly inviscid outer layer, where the Euler and Bernoulli equations apply. Boundary-layer theory has proved to be a very important tool in modern flow analysis. The twentiethcentury foundations for the present state of the art in fluid mechanics were laid in a series of broad-based experiments and theories by Prandtl and his two chief friendly competitors, Theodore von Kármán (1881–1963) and Sir Geoffrey I. Taylor (1886–1975). Many of the results sketched here from a historical point of view will, of course, be discussed in this textbook. More historical details can be found in Refs. 12 to 14. The second half of the twentieth century introduced a new tool: Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD). The earliest paper on the subject known to this writer was by A. Thom in 1933 [47], a laborious, but accurate, hand calculation of flow past a cylinder at low Reynolds numbers. Commercial digital computers became available in the 1950s, and personal computers in the 1970s, bringing CFD into adulthood. A legendary first textbook was by Patankar [3]. Presently, with increases in computer speed and memory, almost any laminar flow can be modeled accurately. Turbulent flow is still calculated with empirical models, but Direct Numerical Simulation [7, 8] is possible for low Reynolds numbers. Another five orders of magnitude in computer speed are needed before general turbulent flows can be calculated. That may not be possible, due to size limits of nano- and pico-elements. But, if general DNS develops, Gad-el-Hak [14] raises the prospect of a shocking future: all of fluid mechanics reduced to a black box, with no real need for teachers, researchers, writers, or fluids engineers. Since the earth is 75 percent covered with water and 100 percent covered with air, the scope of fluid mechanics is vast and touches nearly every human endeavor. The sciences of meteorology, physical oceanography, and hydrology are concerned with naturally occurring fluid flows, as are medical studies of breathing and blood circulation. All transportation problems involve fluid motion, with well-developed specialties in aerodynamics of aircraft and rockets and in naval hydrodynamics of ships and submarines. Almost all our electric energy is developed either from water flow or from steam flow through turbine generators. All combustion problems involve fluid motion as do the more classic problems of irrigation, flood control, water supply, sewage disposal, projectile motion, and oil and gas pipelines. The aim of this book is to present enough fundamental concepts and practical applications in fluid mechanics to prepare you to move smoothly into any of these specialized fields of the science of flow—and then be prepared to move out again as new technologies develop..

Fluid flow analysis is packed with problems to be solved. The present text has more than 1700 problem assignments. Solving a large number of these is a key to learning the subject. One must deal with equations, data, tables, assumptions, unit systems, and solution schemes. The degree of difficulty will vary, and we urge you to sample the whole spectrum of assignments, with or without the Answers in the Appendix. Here are the recommended steps for problem solution: 1. Read the problem and restate it with your summary of the results desired. 2. From tables or charts, gather the needed property data: density, viscosity, etc. 3. Make sure you understand what is asked. Students are apt to answer the wrong question—for example, pressure instead of pressure gradient, lift force instead of drag force, or mass flow instead of volume flow. Read the problem carefully. 4. Make a detailed, labeled sketch of the system or control volume needed. 5. Think carefully and list your assumptions. You must decide if the flow is steady or unsteady, compressible or incompressible, viscous or inviscid, and whether a control volume or partial differential equations are needed. 6. Find an algebraic solution if possible. Then, if a numerical value is needed, use either the SI or BG unit systems, to be reviewed in Sec. 1.6. 7. Report your solution, labeled, with the proper units and the proper number of significant figures (usually two or three) that the data uncertainty allows. We shall follow these steps, where appropriate, in our example problems.. 1.4 The Concept of a Fluid. From the point of view of fluid mechanics, all matter consists of only two states, fluid and solid. The difference between the two is perfectly obvious to the layperson, and it is an interesting exercise to ask a layperson to put this difference into words. The technical distinction lies with the reaction of the two to an applied shear or tangential stress. A solid can resist a shear stress by a static deflection; a ufl id cannot . Any shear stress applied to a fluid, no matter how small, will result in motion of that fluid. The fluid moves and deforms continuously as long as the shear stress is applied. As a corollary, we can say that a fluid at rest must be in a state of zero shear stress, a state often called the hydrostatic stress condition in structural analysis. In this condition, Mohr’s circle for stress reduces to a point, and there is no shear stress on any plane cut through the element under stress. Given this definition of a fluid, every layperson also knows that there are two classes of fluids, liquids and gases. Again the distinction is a technical one concerning the effect of cohesive forces. A liquid, being composed of relatively close-packed molecules with strong cohesive forces, tends to retain its volume and will form a free surface in a gravitational field if unconfined from above. Free-surface flows are dominated by gravitational effects and are studied in Chaps. 5 and 10. Since gas molecules are widely spaced with negligible cohesive forces, a gas is free to expand until it encounters confining walls. A gas has no definite volume, and when left to itself without confinement, a gas forms an atmosphere that is essentially hydrostatic. The hydrostatic behavior of liquids and gases is taken up in Chap. 2. Gases cannot form a free surface, and thus gas flows are rarely concerned with gravitational effects other than buoyancy..

Figure 1.3 illustrates a solid block resting on a rigid plane and stressed by its own weight. The solid sags into a static deflection, shown as a highly exaggerated dashed line, resisting shear without flow. A free-body diagram of element A on the side of the block shows that there is shear in the block along a plane cut at an angle through A. Since the block sides are unsupported, element A has zero stress on the left and right sides and compression stress p on the top and bottom. Mohr’s circle does not reduce to a point, and there is nonzero shear stress in the block. By contrast, the liquid and gas at rest in Fig. 1.3 require the supporting walls in order to eliminate shear stress. The walls exert a compression stress of p and reduce Mohr’s circle to a point with zero shear everywhere—that is, the hydrostatic condition. The liquid retains its volume and forms a free surface in the container. If the walls are removed, shear develops in the liquid and a big splash results. If the container is tilted, shear again develops, waves form, and the free surface seeks a horizontal configuration, pouring out over the lip if necessary. Meanwhile, the gas is unrestrained and expands out of the container, filling all available space. Element A in the gas is also hydrostatic and exerts a compression stress p on the walls..

In the previous discussion, clear decisions could be made about solids, liquids, and gases. Most engineering fluid mechanics problems deal with these clear cases—that is, the common liquids, such as water, oil, mercury, gasoline, and alcohol, and the common gases, such as air, helium, hydrogen, and steam, in their common temperature and pressure ranges. There are many borderline cases, however, of which you should be aware. Some apparently “solid” substances such as asphalt and lead resist shear stress for short periods but actually deform slowly and exhibit definite fluid behavior over long periods. Other substances, notably colloid and slurry mixtures, resist small shear stresses but “yield” at large stress and begin to flow as fluids do. Specialized textbooks are devoted to this study of more general deformation and flow, a field called rheology [16]. Also, liquids and gases can coexist in two-phase mixtures, such as steam–water mixtures or water with entrapped air bubbles. Specialized textbooks present the analysis of such multiphase ofl ws [17]. Finally, in some situations the distinction between a liquid and a gas blurs. This is the case at temperatures and pressures above the so-called critical point of a substance, where only a single phase exists, primarily resembling a gas. As pressure increases far above the critical point, the gaslike substance becomes so dense that there is some resemblance to a liquid and the usual thermodynamic approximations like the perfect-gas law become inaccurate. The critical temperature and pressure of water are Tc 647 K and pc 219 atm (atmosphere2) so that typical problems involving water and steam are below the critical point. Air, being a mixture of gases, has no distinct critical point, but its principal component, nitrogen, has Tc 126 K and pc 34 atm. Thus typical problems involving air are in the range of high temperature and low pressure where air is distinctly and definitely a gas. This text will be concerned solely with clearly identifiable liquids and gases, and the borderline cases just discussed will be beyond our scope.. 1.5 The Fluid as a Continuum. We have already used technical terms such as ufl id pressure and density without a rigorous discussion of their definition. As far as we know, fluids are aggregations of molecules, widely spaced for a gas, closely spaced for a liquid. The distance between molecules is very large compared with the molecular diameter. The molecules are not fixed in a lattice but move about freely relative to each other. Thus fluid density, or mass per unit volume, has no precise meaning because the number of molecules occupying a given volume continually changes. This effect becomes unimportant if the unit volume is large compared with, say, the cube of the molecular spacing, when the number of molecules within the volume will remain nearly constant in spite of the enormous interchange of particles across the boundaries. If, however, the chosen unit volume is too large, there could be a noticeable variation in the bulk aggregation of the particles. This situation is illustrated in Fig. 1.4, where the “density” as calculated from molecular mass m within a given volume is plotted versus the size of the unit volume. There is a limiting volume * below which molecular variations may be important and above which aggregate variations may be important. The density of a fluid is best defined as 2. lim. S*. One atmosphere equals 2116 lbf/ft2 101,300 Pa.. m . (1.1).

The limiting volume * is about 109 mm3 for all liquids and for gases at atmospheric pressure. For example, 109 mm3 of air at standard conditions contains approximately 3 107 molecules, which is sufficient to define a nearly constant density according to Eq. (1.1). Most engineering problems are concerned with physical dimensions much larger than this limiting volume, so that density is essentially a point function and fluid properties can be thought of as varying continually in space, as sketched in Fig. 1.4a. Such a fluid is called a continuum, which simply means that its variation in properties is so smooth that differential calculus can be used to analyze the substance. We shall assume that continuum calculus is valid for all the analyses in this book. Again there are borderline cases for gases at such low pressures that molecular spacing and mean free path3 are comparable to, or larger than, the physical size of the system. This requires that the continuum approximation be dropped in favor of a molecular theory of rarefied gas flow [18]. In principle, all fluid mechanics problems can be attacked from the molecular viewpoint, but no such attempt will be made here. Note that the use of continuum calculus does not preclude the possibility of discontinuous jumps in fluid properties across a free surface or fluid interface or across a shock wave in a compressible fluid (Chap. 9). Our calculus in analyzing fluid flow must be flexible enough to handle discontinuous boundary conditions.. 1.6 Dimensions and Units. A dimension is the measure by which a physical variable is expressed quantitatively. A unit is a particular way of attaching a number to the quantitative dimension. Thus length is a dimension associated with such variables as distance, displacement, width, deflection, and height, while centimeters and inches are both numerical units for expressing length. Dimension is a powerful concept about which a splendid tool called dimensional analysis has been developed (Chap. 5), while units are the numerical quantity that the customer wants as the final answer. In 1872 an international meeting in France proposed a treaty called the Metric Convention, which was signed in 1875 by 17 countries including the United States. It was an improvement over British systems because its use of base 10 is the foundation of our number system, learned from childhood by all. Problems still remained because 3.

To standardize the metric system, a General Conference of Weights and Measures, attended in 1960 by 40 countries, proposed the International System of Units (SI). We are now undergoing a painful period of transition to SI, an adjustment that may take many more years to complete. The professional societies have led the way. Since July 1, 1974, SI units have been required by all papers published by the American Society of Mechanical Engineers, and there is a textbook explaining the SI [19]. The present text will use SI units together with British gravitational (BG) units.. Primary Dimensions. In fluid mechanics there are only four primary dimensions from which all other dimensions can be derived: mass, length, time, and temperature.4 These dimensions and their units in both systems are given in Table 1.1. Note that the kelvin unit uses no degree symbol. The braces around a symbol like {M} mean “the dimension” of mass. All other variables in fluid mechanics can be expressed in terms of {M}, {L}, {T}, and {}. For example, acceleration has the dimensions {LT 2}. The most crucial of these secondary dimensions is force, which is directly related to mass, length, and time by Newton’s second law. Force equals the time rate of change of momentum or, for constant mass, F ma From this we see that, dimensionally, {F} {MLT. The International System (SI). (1.2) 2. }.. The use of a constant of proportionality in Newton’s law, Eq. (1.2), is avoided by defining the force unit exactly in terms of the other basic units. In the SI system, the basic units are newtons {F}, kilograms {M}, meters {L}, and seconds {T}. We define 1 newton of force 1 N 1 kg # 1 m/s2 The newton is a relatively small force, about the weight of an apple (0.225 lbf). In addition, the basic unit of temperature {} in the SI system is the degree Kelvin, K. Use of these SI units (N, kg, m, s, K) will require no conversion factors in our equations.. The British Gravitational (BG) System. In the BG system also, a constant of proportionality in Eq. (1.2) is avoided by defining the force unit exactly in terms of the other basic units. In the BG system, the basic units are pound-force {F}, slugs {M}, feet {L}, and seconds {T}. We define 1 pound of force 1 lbf 1 slug # 1 ft/s2 4 If electromagnetic effects are important, a fifth primary dimension must be included, electric current {I}, whose SI unit is the ampere (A)..

One lbf 4.4482 N and approximates the weight of four apples. We will use the abbreviation lbf for pound-force and lbm for pound-mass. The slug is a rather hefty mass, equal to 32.174 lbm. The basic unit of temperature {} in the BG system is the degree Rankine, R. Recall that a temperature difference 1 K 1.8R. Use of these BG units (lbf, slug, ft, s, R) will require no conversion factors in our equations.. Other Unit Systems. There are other unit systems still in use. At least one needs no proportionality constant: the CGS system (dyne, gram, cm, s, K). However, CGS units are too small for most applications (1 dyne 105 N) and will not be used here. In the USA, some still use the English Engineering system, (lbf, lbm, ft, s, R), where the basic mass unit is the pound of mass. Newton’s law (1.2) must be rewritten: F. ma , gc. where gc 32.174. ft # lbm lbf # s2. (1.3). The constant of proportionality, gc, has both dimensions and a numerical value not equal to 1.0. The present text uses only the SI and BG systems and will not solve problems or examples in the English Engineering system. Because Americans still use them, a few problems in the text will be stated in truly awkward units: acres, gallons, ounces, or miles. Your assignment will be to convert these and solve in the SI or BG systems.. The Principle of Dimensional Homogeneity. In engineering and science, all equations must be dimensionally homogeneous, that is, each additive term in an equation must have the same dimensions. For example, take Bernoulli’s incompressible equation, to be studied and used throughout this text: 1 p V 2 gZ constant 2 Each and every term in this equation must have dimensions of pressure {ML1T 2}. We will examine the dimensional homogeneity of this equation in detail in Ex. 1.3. A list of some important secondary variables in fluid mechanics, with dimensions derived as combinations of the four primary dimensions, is given in Table 1.2.

EXAMPLE 1.1 A body weighs 1000 lbf when exposed to a standard earth gravity g 32.174 ft/s2. (a) What is its mass in kg? (b) What will the weight of this body be in N if it is exposed to the moon’s standard acceleration gmoon 1.62 m/s2? (c) How fast will the body accelerate if a net force of 400 lbf is applied to it on the moon or on the earth?. Solution We need to find the (a) mass; (b) weight on the moon; and (c) acceleration of this body. This is a fairly simple example of conversion factors for differing unit systems. No property data is needed. The example is too low-level for a sketch.. Part (a). Newton’s law (1.2) holds with known weight and gravitational acceleration. Solve for m: F W 1000 lbf mg (m)(32.174 ft/s2), or m . 1000 lbf 31.08 slugs 32.174 ft/s2. Convert this to kilograms: m 31.08 slugs (31.08 slugs)(14.5939 kg/slug) 454 kg. Part (b). The mass of the body remains 454 kg regardless of its location. Equation (1.2) applies with a new gravitational acceleration and hence a new weight: F Wmoon mgmoon (454 kg)(1.62 m/s2) 735 N. Part (c). Ans. (a). Ans. (b). This part does not involve weight or gravity or location. It is simply an application of Newton’s law with a known mass and known force: F 400 lbf ma (31.08 slugs) a Solve for a Comment (c):. 400 lbf ft m m 12.87 2 a0.3048 b 3.92 2 31.08 slugs s ft s. Ans. (c). This acceleration would be the same on the earth or moon or anywhere.. Many data in the literature are reported in inconvenient or arcane units suitable only to some industry or specialty or country. The engineer should convert these data to the SI or BG system before using them. This requires the systematic application of conversion factors, as in the following example. EXAMPLE 1.2 Industries involved in viscosity measurement [27, 36] continue to use the CGS system of units, since centimeters and grams yield convenient numbers for many fluids. The absolute viscosity () unit is the poise, named after J. L. M. Poiseuille, a French physician who in 1840 performed pioneering experiments on water flow in pipes; 1 poise 1 g/(cm-s). The kinematic viscosity () unit is the stokes, named after G. G. Stokes, a British physicist who.

Water at 20C has 0.01 poise and also 0.01 stokes. Express these results in (a) SI and (b) BG units.. Solution Part (a). • Approach: Systematically change grams to kg or slugs and change centimeters to meters or feet.. • Property values: Given 0.01 g/(cm-s) and 0.01 cm2/s. • Solution steps: (a) For conversion to SI units,.

Ans. (b). • Comments: This was a laborious conversion that could have been shortened by using the direct viscosity conversion factors in App. C. For example, BG SI/47.88.. We repeat our advice: Faced with data in unusual units, convert them immediately to either SI or BG units because (1) it is more professional and (2) theoretical equations in fluid mechanics are dimensionally consistent and require no further conversion factors when these two fundamental unit systems are used, as the following example shows. EXAMPLE 1.3 A useful theoretical equation for computing the relation between pressure, velocity, and altitude in a steady flow of a nearly inviscid, nearly incompressible fluid with negligible heat transfer and shaft work5 is the Bernoulli relation, named after Daniel Bernoulli, who published a hydrodynamics textbook in 1738: p0 p 12 V2 gZ where p0 p V Z g 5. . stagnation pressure pressure in moving fluid velocity density altitude gravitational acceleration. That’s an awful lot of assumptions, which need further study in Chap. 3.. (1).

(1) satisfies the principle of dimensional homogeneity, which states that all additive terms in a physical equation must have the same dimensions. (b) Show that consistent units result without additional conversion factors in SI units. (c) Repeat (b) for BG units.. Solution Part (a). We can express Eq. (1) dimensionally, using braces, by entering the dimensions of each term from Table 1.2: {ML1T 2} {ML1T 2} {ML3}{L2T 2} {ML3}{LT 2}{L} {ML1T 2} for all terms. Part (b). Ans. (a). Enter the SI units for each quantity from Table 1.2: {N/m2} {N/m2} {kg/m3}{m2/s2} {kg/m3}{m/s2}{m} {N/m2} {kg/(m s2)} The right-hand side looks bad until we remember from Eq. (1.3) that 1 kg 1 N s2/m. 5kg/(m # s2)6 . 5N # s2/m6 5N/m2 6 5m # s2 6. Ans. (b). Thus all terms in Bernoulli’s equation will have units of pascals, or newtons per square meter, when SI units are used. No conversion factors are needed, which is true of all theoretical equations in fluid mechanics.. Part (c). Introducing BG units for each term, we have {lbf/ft2} {lbf/ft2} {slugs/ft3}{ft2/s2} {slugs/ft3}{ft/s2}{ft} {lbf/ft2} {slugs/(ft s2)} But, from Eq. (1.3), 1 slug 1 lbf s2/ft, so that 5slugs/(ft # s2)6 . 5lbf # s2/ft6 5lbf/ft2 6 5ft # s2 6. Ans. (c). All terms have the unit of pounds-force per square foot. No conversion factors are needed in the BG system either.. There is still a tendency in English-speaking countries to use pound-force per square inch as a pressure unit because the numbers are more manageable. For example, standard atmospheric pressure is 14.7 lbf/in2 2116 lbf/ft2 101,300 Pa. The pascal is a small unit because the newton is less than 14 lbf and a square meter is a very large area.. Consistent Units. Note that not only must all (fluid) mechanics equations be dimensionally homogeneous, one must also use consistent units; that is, each additive term must have the same units. There is no trouble doing this with the SI and BG systems, as in Example 1.3, but woe unto those who try to mix colloquial English units. For example, in Chap. 9, we often use the assumption of steady adiabatic compressible gas flow: h 12V2 constant.

Colloquial thermodynamic tables might list h in units of British thermal units per pound mass (Btu/lb), whereas V is likely used in ft/s. It is completely erroneous to add Btu/lb to ft2/s2. The proper unit for h in this case is ft lbf/slug, which is identical to ft2/s2. The conversion factor is 1 Btu/lb 25,040 ft2/s2 25,040 ft lbf/slug.. Homogeneous versus Dimensionally Inconsistent Equations. All theoretical equations in mechanics (and in other physical sciences) are dimensionally homogeneous; that is, each additive term in the equation has the same dimensions. However, the reader should be warned that many empirical formulas in the engineering literature, arising primarily from correlations of data, are dimensionally inconsistent. Their units cannot be reconciled simply, and some terms may contain hidden variables. An example is the formula that pipe valve manufacturers cite for liquid volume flow rate Q (m3/s) through a partially open valve: Q CV a. Table 1.3 Convenient Prefixes for Engineering Units Multiplicative factor 1012 109 106 103 102 10 101 102 103 106 109 1012 1015 1018. Prefix tera giga mega kilo hecto deka deci centi milli micro nano pico femto atto. Convenient Prefixes in Powers of 10. Symbol T G M k h da d c m n p f a. p 1/2 b SG. where p is the pressure drop across the valve and SG is the specific gravity of the liquid (the ratio of its density to that of water). The quantity CV is the valve flow coefficient, which manufacturers tabulate in their valve brochures. Since SG is dimensionless {1}, we see that this formula is totally inconsistent, with one side being a flow rate {L3/T} and the other being the square root of a pressure drop {M1/2/L1/2T}. It follows that CV must have dimensions, and rather odd ones at that: {L7/2/M1/2}. Nor is the resolution of this discrepancy clear, although one hint is that the values of CV in the literature increase nearly as the square of the size of the valve. The presentation of experimental data in homogeneous form is the subject of dimensional analysis (Chap. 5). There we shall learn that a homogeneous form for the valve flow relation is Q Cd Aopeninga. p 1/2 b . where is the liquid density and A the area of the valve opening. The discharge coefficient C d is dimensionless and changes only moderately with valve size. Please believe—until we establish the fact in Chap. 5—that this latter is a much better formulation of the data. Meanwhile, we conclude that dimensionally inconsistent equations, though they occur in engineering practice, are misleading and vague and even dangerous, in the sense that they are often misused outside their range of applicability. Engineering results often are too small or too large for the common units, with too many zeros one way or the other. For example, to write p 114,000,000 Pa is long and awkward. Using the prefix “M” to mean 106, we convert this to a concise p 114 MPa (megapascals). Similarly, t 0.000000003 s is a proofreader’s nightmare compared to the equivalent t 3 ns (nanoseconds). Such prefixes are common and convenient, in both the SI and BG systems. A complete list is given in Table 1.3..

EXAMPLE 1.4 In 1890 Robert Manning, an Irish engineer, proposed the following empirical formula for the average velocity V in uniform flow due to gravity down an open channel (BG units): 1.49 2/3 1/2 R S n where R hydraulic radius of channel (Chaps. 6 and 10) S channel slope (tangent of angle that bottom makes with horizontal) n Manning’s roughness factor (Chap. 10) V. (1). and n is a constant for a given surface condition for the walls and bottom of the channel. (a) Is Manning’s formula dimensionally consistent? (b) Equation (1) is commonly taken to be valid in BG units with n taken as dimensionless. Rewrite it in SI form.. Solution • Assumption: The channel slope S is the tangent of an angle and is thus a dimensionless ratio with the dimensional notation {1}—that is, not containing M, L, or T.. • Approach (a): Rewrite the dimensions of each term in Manning’s equation, using brackets {}: 5V6 e. 1.49 f 5R2/3 6 5S1/2 6 n. or. L 1.49 f 5L2/3 6 516 e f e n T. This formula is incompatible unless {1.49/n} {L1/3/T}. If n is dimensionless (and it is never listed with units in textbooks), the number 1.49 must carry the dimensions of {L1/3/T}. Ans. (a). • Comment (a): Formulas whose numerical coefficients have units can be disastrous for engineers working in a different system or another fluid. Manning’s formula, though popular, is inconsistent both dimensionally and physically and is valid only for water flow with certain wall roughnesses. The effects of water viscosity and density are hidden in the numerical value 1.49. • Approach (b): Part (a) showed that 1.49 has dimensions. If the formula is valid in BG units, then it must equal 1.49 ft1/3/s. By using the SI conversion for length, we obtain (1.49 ft1/3/s)(0.3048 m/ft)1/3 1.00 m1/3/s Therefore Manning’s inconsistent formula changes form when converted to the SI system: SI units: V . 1.0 2/3 1/2 R S n. Ans. (b). with R in meters and V in meters per second.. • Comment (b): Actually, we misled you: This is the way Manning, a metric user, first proposed the formula. It was later converted to BG units. Such dimensionally inconsistent formulas are dangerous and should either be reanalyzed or treated as having very limited application..

In a given flow situation, the determination, by experiment or theory, of the properties of the fluid as a function of position and time is considered to be the solution to the problem. In almost all cases, the emphasis is on the space–time distribution of the fluid properties. One rarely keeps track of the actual fate of the specific fluid particles.6 This treatment of properties as continuum-field functions distinguishes fluid mechanics from solid mechanics, where we are more likely to be interested in the trajectories of individual particles or systems.. Eulerian and Lagrangian Descriptions. There are two different points of view in analyzing problems in mechanics. The first view, appropriate to fluid mechanics, is concerned with the field of flow and is called the eulerian method of description. In the eulerian method we compute the pressure field p(x, y, z, t) of the flow pattern, not the pressure changes p(t) that a particle experiences as it moves through the field. The second method, which follows an individual particle moving through the flow, is called the lagrangian description. The lagrangian approach, which is more appropriate to solid mechanics, will not be treated in this book. However, certain numerical analyses of sharply bounded fluid flows, such as the motion of isolated fluid droplets, are very conveniently computed in lagrangian coordinates [1]. Fluid dynamic measurements are also suited to the eulerian system. For example, when a pressure probe is introduced into a laboratory flow, it is fixed at a specific position (x, y, z). Its output thus contributes to the description of the eulerian pressure field p(x, y, z, t). To simulate a lagrangian measurement, the probe would have to move downstream at the fluid particle speeds; this is sometimes done in oceanographic measurements, where flowmeters drift along with the prevailing currents. The two different descriptions can be contrasted in the analysis of traffic flow along a freeway. A certain length of freeway may be selected for study and called the field of flow. Obviously, as time passes, various cars will enter and leave the field, and the identity of the specific cars within the field will constantly be changing. The traffic engineer ignores specific cars and concentrates on their average velocity as a function of time and position within the field, plus the flow rate or number of cars per hour passing a given section of the freeway. This engineer is using an eulerian description of the traffic flow. Other investigators, such as the police or social scientists, may be interested in the path or speed or destination of specific cars in the field. By following a specific car as a function of time, they are using a lagrangian description of the flow.. The Velocity Field. Foremost among the properties of a flow is the velocity field V(x, y, z, t). In fact, determining the velocity is often tantamount to solving a flow problem, since other properties follow directly from the velocity field. Chapter 2 is devoted to the calculation of the pressure field once the velocity field is known. Books on heat transfer (for example, Ref. 20) are largely devoted to finding the temperature field from known velocity fields. 6 One example where fluid particle paths are important is in water quality analysis of the fate of contaminant discharges..

In general, velocity is a vector function of position and time and thus has three components u, , and w, each a scalar field in itself: V(x, y, z, t) iu(x, y, z, t) jv(x, y, z, t) kw(x, y, z, t). (1.4). The use of u, , and w instead of the more logical component notation Vx, Vy, and Vz is the result of an almost unbreakable custom in fluid mechanics. Much of this textbook, especially Chaps. 4, 7, 8, and 9, is concerned with finding the distribution of the velocity vector V for a variety of practical flows.. The Acceleration Field. The acceleration vector, a dV/dt, occurs in Newton’s law for a fluid and thus is very important. In order to follow a particle in the Eulerian frame of reference, the final result for acceleration is nonlinear and quite complicated. Here we only give the formula: a. dV V. V. V. V u v w dt. t. x. y. z. (1.5). where (u, v, w) are the velocity components from Eq. (1.4). We shall study this formula in detail in Chap. 4. The last three terms in Eq. (1.5) are nonlinear products and greatly complicate the analysis of general fluid motions, especially viscous flows.. 1.8 Thermodynamic Properties of a Fluid. While the velocity field V is the most important fluid property, it interacts closely with the thermodynamic properties of the fluid. We have already introduced into the discussion the three most common such properties: 1. Pressure p 2. Density 3. Temperature T These three are constant companions of the velocity vector in flow analyses. Four other intensive thermodynamic properties become important when work, heat, and energy balances are treated (Chaps. 3 and 4): 4. 5. 6. 7.. Internal energy û Enthalpy h û p/ Entropy s Specific heats cp and cv. In addition, friction and heat conduction effects are governed by the two so-called transport properties: 8. Coefficient of viscosity 9. Thermal conductivity k All nine of these quantities are true thermodynamic properties that are determined by the thermodynamic condition or state of the fluid. For example, for a single-phase.
