Equations of Motion

According to Newton’s second law of motion, the net force Facting on a fluid element in the direction of x is equal to mass m of the fluid element multiplied by the acceleration ax in the x − direction. Thus, mathematically Fx  = m ax In the fluid flow, the following forces are present: 

  1. Fg, gravity force 
  2. Fp, the pressure force  
  3. F ν , the force due to viscosity 
  4. Fc, force due to compressibility 
  5. Ft, fore due to turbulence of flow

Thus , net force  Fx, = (F)x +  (Fp)x + (Fν)x + (Ft)+ (Fc)

  • If the force due to compressibility, FC is negligible, the resulting net force
    Fx =(Fg)x + (Fp)x + (Fν)x + (Ft)x and equations of motion are called “Reynold’s equations of motion” 
  • For flow where (Ft) is negligible, the resulting equations of motion are known as “Navier −  Stokes equation”. 
  • Fx = (F)x + (Fp )x+ (Fv )x  (Navier Stoke’s equation.)  This equation is useful in analysis of viscous flow. 
  • If the flow is assumed to be ideal, viscous force (Fν) is zero and equations of motion are known as “Euler’s equations of motion”.
    Fx = (F)x + (Fp )x

Euler’s Equation of Motion

This is Equation of motion in which the force due to gravity and pressure are taken into consideration  Euler’s Equation is Bernoulli`s Equation | Fluid Mechanics for Mechanical EngineeringBernouli’s  equation is obtained by integrating the Euler’s equation of motion as  Bernoulli`s Equation | Fluid Mechanics for Mechanical EngineeringThis equation is applicable for steady, irrotational flow of incompressible fluids.
If flow is incompressible, ρ is constant i.e. independent of pressure (hence p is treated as constant).Bernoulli`s Equation | Fluid Mechanics for Mechanical Engineering

Above equation is Bernoulli’s equation in which: 

Bernoulli`s Equation | Fluid Mechanics for Mechanical Engineering = pressure energy per unit weight of fluid or pressure head
v / 2g = Kinetic energy per unit weight or kinetic head
z = potential energy per unit weight or potential head  

Assumptions:

The following are the assumptions made in the derivation of Bernoulli’s equation:  
(i) The fluid is ideal, i.e. viscosity is zero
(ii) The flow is steady
(iii) The flow is incompressible
(iv) The flow is irrotational

Bernoulli’s Equation for Incompressible Real Fluid

Bernoulli's equation is originally derived under the assumption that the fluid is inviscid (non-viscous) and, therefore, frictionless. However, real fluids are viscous and resist flow, resulting in energy losses. These losses must be accounted for when applying Bernoulli's equation to real fluids. The modified Bernoulli's equation for real fluids, accounting for these losses between points 1 and 2, is given as:
Bernoulli`s Equation | Fluid Mechanics for Mechanical EngineeringWhere hL is loss of energy per unit weight of fluid between points 1 and 2.

Practical Applications of Bernoulli’s Equation

Bernoulli's equation is applied in all problems of incompressible fluid flow where energy considerations are involved e.g.
(i) Venturimeter
(ii) Orifice m eter
(iii) Pitot −  tube  

The Momentum Equation

The momentum equation is derived from the law of conservation of momentum, which states that the net force acting on a fluid mass is equal to the change in momentum of the fluid flow per unit time in that direction. The momentum equation can be expressed as follows:
Bernoulli`s Equation | Fluid Mechanics for Mechanical EngineeringWhere F is the force on a fluid mass m.  
Above equation is known as the “momentum principle” Equation (1) may also be written as  
F. dt = d (mv)
Which is known as the “impulse − momentum equation”.

Force exerted by a flowing fluid on Pipe − Bend

The impulse momentum equation is used to determine the resultant force exerted by a flowing fluid on a pipe bend. Consider two sections (1) and (2) as shown in fig.
Bernoulli`s Equation | Fluid Mechanics for Mechanical EngineeringLet,  V1  = Velocity of flow at section (1)  
p1 = pressure intensity at section (1)  
A1  = area of cross section of pipe at section (1) and  
V2, p2.,A= corresponding values of velocity, pressure and area at section (2)
Let Fand Fy be the components of the forces exerted by the flowing fluid on the bend in x and y direction respectively. Then  
Fx = ρ Q (V1 − V2 cosθ ) + p1 A1 − p1 A2 cosθ
F = ρ Q (−V2 sin θ) − p2 A2 sin θ
The resultant force (FR) acting on the bend = Bernoulli`s Equation | Fluid Mechanics for Mechanical Engineering 
And the angle made by the resultant force with horizontal direction is given by   tanθ  = Fy / Fx

Q1. Water flows in a horizontal tube (see figure). The pressure of water changes by 700 Nm−2 between A and B where the area of cross section are 40 cm2 and 20 cm2, respectively. Find the rate of flow of water through the tube. (density of water = 1000 kgm−3)
Bernoulli`s Equation | Fluid Mechanics for Mechanical EngineeringAns:
In fluid dynamics, Bernoulli's principle states that an increase in the speed of a fluid occurs simultaneously with a decrease in static pressure or a decrease in the fluid's potential energy.
From Bernoulli's equation
PA  + 1/2ρV2A = PB + 1/2ρV2B
Calculations:
Given:
Δ P = 700 Nm-2
aA = 40 cm2
aB = 20 cm2
From the continuity equation
aAVA = aBVB
Putting values of area, we will get,
2VA = VB
From Bernoulli's equation
PA  + 1/2ρV2A = PB + 1/2ρV2B
Δ P = 1/2ρ(V2B - V2A)
= 1/2103(4V2A - V2A)
700 × 2 = 103 (3 V2A)  
V2A = 700×23×100
VA = 7/15m/s
= 7/15×100 cm/s
The volume of the flow = aA × vA = 40 × 7/15×100
= 2732.5 cm3/s


Q2. If the flow speeds of the upper and lower surfaces of the wings of an aeroplane are 260m/s and 250m/s, the wings cover an area of 500 m2 then what would be the lift generated (in kN)? (take density of air as 1kg/m3) 
Ans: 

  • Bernoulli's principle states that the sum of pressure energy, kinetic energy, and potential energy per unit volume of an incompressible, non- viscous fluid in a streamlined irrotational flow remains constant along a streamline.
  • This means that in steady flow the sum of all forms of mechanical energy in a fluid along a streamline is the same at all points on that streamline.
