(13 cards)
when fluid flows, there will be an x-directed shear of friction forces is present
friction forces (Fxs)
resultant forces
Rx
what are the assumptions in bernoulli’s equation?
- inviscid flow (no shear stress)
- constant density
- steady flow
- along a streamline
- applied in an inertial reference frame
what are the uses of the increase in ME due to pump?
- maintain the flow
- provide KE
- offset frictional losses
- increase PE
for steady state, it is the work done by the fluid
boundary work
energy converted to work is lost in?
Mechanical Energy
it is the sum of all frictional losses
frictional losses
what is alpha?
kinetic energy velocity correction
it is used to increase mechanical energy of flowing fluid
Pump
x-directed force caused by gravity acting on the mass M in a controlled volume
solid surface force
represented by Wp
pump
x-directed force caused by gravity acting on the mass M in a controlled volume
body forces (Fxg)
x-directed forces caused by pressure forces acting on the surface of the fluid system
pressure forces (Fxp)
