9.1 Introduction
.
* Fluids are distinguished from solids by their ability to flow.
* Understanding fluid behavior is crucial due to their prevalence in our
environment and biological systems.
9.2 Pressure
* Streamline flow occurs when fluid particles move along smooth gravity,
and h is depth.
* Hydraulic machines utilize Pascal's Law to transmit pressure, enabling
tasks like lifting heavy objects.
* Streamline flow occurs when fluid particles move along smooth paths
without crossing each other.
* The equation of continuity, Av = constant, expresses the conservation of
mass in incompressible fluid flow, where A is the cross-sectional area and
v is the velocity.
* At constrictions in a pipe, the fluid velocity increases due to the
conservation of mass.
* Bernoulli's principle states that the sum of pressure, kinetic energy per
unit volume, and potential energy per unit volume remains constant along
a streamline.
* This principle is derived from the conservation of energy applied to ideal
fluid flow.
* Applications include the speed of efflux (.4 Bernoulli's Principle
* Bernoulli's principle states that the sum of pressure, kinetic energy per
unit volume, and potential energy per unit volume remains constant along
a streamline.
* This principle is derived from the conservation of energy applied to ideal
fluid flow.
* Applications include the speed of efflux (Torricelli's Law) and dynamic lift
on objects like airplane wings.
