JNTUH B.Tech 2nd year Mechanics of Fluids Engineering R13 gives you detail information about Mechanics of Fluids subject.
Aim & Objectives: The student will gain insight into a number of potentially useful phenomena involving movement of fluids. He/she
will learn to do elementary calculations for engineering application of fluid motion. This course also prepares the
student for more advanced courses such as Aerodynamics- I & -II.
UNIT I Fluid Properties: Density, specific weight , specific gravity, surface tension & capillarity, Newton’s law of viscosity, incompressible & compressible fluid, numerical problems. Hydrostatic forces on submerged bodies: Pressure at a point, Pascal’s law, pressure variation with temperature and height, Center of pressure on vertical, inclined and curved surfaces. Manometers- simple and differential manometers, inverted manometers, micro manometers, Pressure gauges and numerical problems. Buoyancy- Archimedes’s Principle, Metacenter, meta centric height calculations.
UNIT II Fluid Kinematics: Stream line, path line, streak line, stream surface, stream tube, classification of flows: steady, unsteady, uniform, non uniform, laminar, turbulent flows. One dimensional approximation, examples of real 1-D
flows, two dimensional approximation, 2-D flow in wind tunnel, continuity equations for 1-D and 2-D flows both compressible and incompressible, stream function for two dimensional incompressible flows. Vorticity, irrotational flow, Velocity potential function.
UNIT III Fluid Dynamics: Surface & body forces, substantive derivative, local derivative and convective derivative, momentum equation, Euler equation, Bernoulli’s equation, .Phenomenological basis of Navier-Stokes equation,
Introduction to vortex flows. Statement of Buckingham’s π-theorem, Similarity parameters: Reynolds number, Froude number, Concepts of geometric, kinematic and dynamic similarity, Reynolds number as a very approximate measure of ratio of Inertia Force and Viscous Force, flow measurements : pressure, velocity and mass flow rate, viscosity , Pitot-static tube, venturi meter and orifice meter, viscometers.
