FLUID MECHANICS INTRODUCTION CLASS NOTES FOR ENGINEERS Fluid Mechanics is a science which deals all aspects of fluids. It studies the fluids in motion or static. Fluid is a common name to liquids, vapors and gases. Branch which deals with the fluids is called fluid mechanics. Definition of a fluid Fluid is a common…
VORTICITY AND ROTATION Vorticity use continuity equation to tell the existence of flow. Rotation helps to tell the flow is rotational or irrotational. Rotation is half the vorticity. Vorticity and Rotation Before vorticity is discussed, it is important to establish whether the flow exist or not. For flow to exist, equation of continuity…
TYPES OF FLUID FLOW CLASS NOTES FOR ENGINEERS There are different types of flows for a moving fluid. The study of moving fluids is quite complex, tedious and time consuming. But the analysis can be made simple by making one or more simplifying assumptions e.g., one-dimensional flow, steady-state flow, non-viscous flow, compressible and in-compressible…
