CHAPTER -1 (PROPERTIES OF FLUID)

There are various properties of fluid

1.) MASS DENSITY It is defined as mass of fluid per unit volume. It is generally denoted by ρ (Rho).
S.I unit = kg/m³
 The mass density of water is taken as 1000 kg/ m³ at 4°C

2.) SPECIFIC WEIGHT.  -  It may be defined as the weight of fluid per unit volume.It is generally denoted by w.
S.I unit = N/m³
It is increase with increase in pressure. The specific weight of water is taken as 9810 N/m³ at 4°C.

IMPORTANT NOTE:- 
*Relationship between specific weight and mass density:-

w = ρ× g
Specific weight = (mass density × Acceleration due to gravity)

3.) SPECIFIC VOLUME - It may be defined as the volume occupied by the fluid per unit mass. It is generally denoted by v. 
                              OR
 It may be defined as the reciprocal of mass density. It commonly applied to gasses.
v = 1/p
Specific volume = 1/ Rho
S.I unit = m³/kg

4.) Specific gravity - it may be defined as the ratio of specific weight of fluid to the specific weight of a standard fluid at a standard temperature.
It is generally denoted by S.
Specific gravity is also known as relative density.

5.) VISCOSITY - it is a property of fluid  by virtue of which it offers resistance to flow or internal friction of an fluid.
Viscosity is measured by VISCOMETER. The unit of Viscosity is given as 'SAYBOLTS UNIVERSAL SECONDS' OR 'REDWOOD SECOND' etc.
         τ  ∝ dv/ dy
       τ =  μ.dv/dy                               ...(1.)                               
Where  μ is the constant of proportionality and is called coefficient of dynamic Viscosity or simple Viscosity or absolute Viscosity.
From eq 1
          
          μ =  τ /( dv/ dy) 
         μ = ( N./m² )/ ( m/s /m)
         μ  = N.s/ m²
N.s/ m² = pa.s

S.I unit = pa.s ( Pascal × second) 
pa.s. = 1N.S/ m²
1N.S/m² = 10 poise = 1000 centipoise
The Viscosity decrease with increase in temperature.
EXAMPLE :- 
1. HIGH VISCOSITY -( Glycerine , Honey etc.)
2. LOW VISCOSITY - ( Water , Gasoline etc.)
 IMPORTANT POINT S :-

* KINEMATIC VISCOSITY - The ratio of dynamic Viscosity to the mass density of a fluid.  It is generally denoted by v (Nu).
                   v = μ/p

S.I unit  = m²/s 
The another unit of kinematics Viscosity is Stokes.
              1m²/s = 10000 stokes

6.) VAPOUR PRESSURE  - It is the  liquid partial pressure exerted on its surface by the vapours of the same liquid gathers into the container which containing the liquid, above the surface of liquid due to evaporation.
The vapour pressure increases with increase in temperature.

7.) COHESION - it is the property of liquid by virtue of which it can withstand slight tension. This property of liquid due to internal molecular attraction between the molecules of the liquid.
The property of surface tension is also sir to cohesion.

8.) ADHESION - It is the property of liquid by virtue of which it adheres ( sticks) to the solid body with which it is in contact.

This property of liquid due to the force of attraction between the molecules of the liquid and the molecules of the solid body.

9.) SURFACE TENSION - The property of liquid by virtue of which the free surface of the liquid acts as a stretched elastic membrane capable of bearing a slight amount of tension.
Eg:- the paper boat travel on water due to surface tension.  And insects sit on water due to this phenomenon.

S.I unit = N/m

10.) CAPILLARITY- It is the phenomenon by which a liquid rises up or falls down in a thin glass tube in comparison to the general level in the vessel, when the glass tube dipped in liquid.
* The rise of liquid is known as capillary rise.
* The fall of liquid is known as capillary Depression.
it is generally expressed in terms mm or cm of liquid.

EXPRESSION FOR CAPILLARY RISE :- Let us consider a thin glass tube open at both ends. This glass tube dipped in water and the water will rise in the glass tube above the level of the liquid.

Let.             d = diameter of glass tube
                    h = Height of liquid in the tube
                    σ = surface tension of liquid
                    θ = Angle of contact between                              liquid and glass tube
                    ρ = mass density of liquid

Weight of liquid of height h in the tube = (  Area of the tube × h) ×ρ×g
                    =(π/4)×d²×h×ρ×g.  ....(1)

Tensile force on vertical component= ( σ ×cicumference of tube ) × cosθ 

                  = σ × πd × cosθ.        .....(2)
From eq 1 and 2
(π/4)×d²×h×ρ×g      σ × πd × cosθ

Now we get:- 
                 h   = (4σ × cosθ/ ρ×g×d)
The value of θ between water and clean glass tube is approximately equal to zero.
 
EXPRESSION FOR CAPILLARY FALL - in this case we use mercury in place of water.
Procedure is same for capilly rise 
                h = (4σ × cosθ/ ρ×g×d)

The value of θ for mercury and glass tube is 128°.

11.) COMPRESSIBILITY -  it may be defined as the reciprocal of bulk modulus of elasticity (K).
COMPRESSIBILITY - 1/ K
S.I unit = m²/N

BULK MODULUS - It may be defined  as the ratio compressive stress to volumetric strain. 
         K = N/m²

LANCASHIRE BOILER

LANCASHIRE BOILER -   It is non portable fire tube type horizontal boiler. It consists of cylinder shells with two tubes A and B called Fire Tubes which are symmetrical in dimension. Each Fire Tubes Contain a furnace in front of it, there is a Grate over which fuel is burn. CONSTRUCTION - it is a stationary fire tube internally fired horizontal boiler. These boiler have a cylinder shell of 2m in diameter and it's length varies from 7.5m to 10m . It has two large internal fire tubes having diameter 80cm to 100 cm in which grate is situated. WORKING - The fuel is burn in a fire great and on burning the fuel combustion Process take place The fuel gas enter the main tube by the fire deflector. As the flue gas moves in tubes they heat up the tubes and water which is surrounded the tubes is also heated. After this process water is converted into steam. The steam is taken out from steam supply valve. Application - it is used in sugar mills and chemical industry. ADVANTAGES •  It...
