Pascal fluid

Fluids can be classified based on their viscosity. An imaginary fluid of zero viscosity is called a Pascal fluid. The flow of a Pascal fluid is termed inviscid (or nonviscous) flow. 

The dynamic viscosity, or coefficient of viscosity, 77 of a Newtonian fluid is defined as the force per unit area necessary to maintain a unit velocity gradient at right angles to the direction of flow between two parallel planes a unit distance apart. The SI unit is pascal-second or newton-second per meter squared [N s m ]. The c.g.s. unit of viscosity is the poise [P] 1 cP = 1 mN s m . The dynamic viscosity decreases with the temperature approximately according to the equation log rj = A + BIT. Values of A and B for a large number of liquids are given by Barrer, Trans. Faraday Soc. 39 48 (1943). 

Pressure is the force per unit area exerted by or on a fluid. In a static fluid the pressure increases with depth, but according to Pascal s principle it is the same in all directions at any given depth. Pressure may be specified as either absolute, or gauge, the relationship between the two being ... 

The foundation of modern hydraulics was established with Pascal s discovery that pressure in a fluid acts equally in all directions. This pressure acts at right angles to the containing surfaces. If some type of pressure gauge, with an exposed face, is placed beneath the surface of a liquid. Figure 40.4, at a specific depth and pointed in different directions, the pressure will read the same. Thus, we can say that pressure in a liquid is independent of direction. 

Remember that Pascal s law states that a pressure set up in a fluid acts equally in all directions and at right angles... 

Review the system illustrated in Figure 40.8. Chamber A is under pressure and is connected by a tube to chamber B, which is also under pressure. The pressure in chamber A is static pressure of lOOpsi. The pressure at some point (X) along the connecting tube consists of a velocity pressure of lOpsi exerted in a direction parallel to the line of flow, plus the unused static pressure of 90psi. The static pressure (90psi) follows Pascal s law and exerts equal pressure in all directions. As the fluid enters chamber B, it slows down and its velocity is reduced. As a volume of liquid moves from a small, confined space into a larger area, the fluid will expand to fill the greater volume. The result of this expansion is a reduction of velocity and a momentary reduction in pressure. 

According to Pascal s law, any force applied to a confined fluid is transmitted uniformly in all directions throughout... 

A pressure applied at any point on the boundary of a fluid is transmitted uniformly throughout the whole fluid (Pascal s law). 

There are two variables used in the description of fluid flow shear stress and shear strain. Stress is measured in units of Pascals and the strain is dimensionless. 

Pascal s principle when a liquid or gas is pushed on by aforce, it transmits the force to all parts ot the fluid, density the amount of matter in a given space, or mass divided by volume, mass the amount of matter or stutf in something. On Earth, the mass of something is very close to its weight.

The torr is included in the table only to facilitate the transition from this familiar unit to the statutory units N m, mbar and bar. In future the pressure units tor, mm water column, mm mercury column (mm Hg), % vacuum, technical atmosphere (at), physicalatmosphene (atm), atmosphere absolute (ata), pressure above atmospheric and pressure below atmospheric may no longer be used. Reference is made to DIN 1314 in this context. 2) The unit Newton divided by square meters (N m ) is also designated as Pascal (Pa) 1 N m = 1 Pa. Newton divided by square meters or Pascal is the SI unit for the pressure of fluids. 3) 1 torr = 4/3 mbar fl torr = 1 mbar. ... 

PRESSURE. If a body of fluid is at rest, the forces are in equilibrium or the fluid is in static equilibrium. The types of force that may aci on a body are shear or tangential force, tensile force, and compressive force. Fluids move continuously under the action of shear or tangential forces. Thus, a fluid at rest is free in each part from shear forces one fluid layer does not slide relative to an adjacent layer. Fluids can be subjected to a compressive stress, which is commonly called pressure. The term may be defined as force per unit area. The pressure units may be dynes per square centimeter, pounds per square foot, torr. mega-Pascals, etc. Atmospheric pressure is the force acting upon a unit area due to the weight of the atmosphere. Gage pressure is the difference between the pressure of the fluid measured (at some point) and atmospheric pressure. Absolute pressure, which can be measured by a mercury barometer, is the sum of gage pressure plus atmospheric pressure. 

Pascal s law states that the pressure in a static fluid is the same in all directions. This condition is different from that for a stressed solid in static equilibrium. In such a solid, the stress on a plane depends upon the orientation of that plane, A liquid m contact with the atmosphere is sometimes called a free surface. A static liquid has a horizontal free surface if gravity is the only type of force acting. 

The word viscosity comes from the Latin word for mistletoe, viscum. Anyone familiar with this plant is aware that it exudes a viscous sticky sap when harvested. Viscosity is defined after Isaac Newton in his Principia as the ratio of stress to shear rate and is given the symbol T. Stress (a) in a fluid is simply force/area, like pressure, and has the units of pascals (Pa S.I. units) or dynes/cm2 (c.g.s.). Shear rate or strain rate (y or dyldt) is the differential of strain (y) with respect to time. Strain is simply the change in shape of a volume of fluid as a result of an applied stress and has no units. The shear rate is in fact a velocity gradient, not a flow rate. It has the bizarre units of 1/time (sec-1) and is the velocity at a given point in the fluid divided by the distance of that point from the stationary plane. 

This unit describes a method for measuring the viscosity (r ) of Newtonian fluids. For a Newtonian fluid, viscosity is a constant at a given temperature and pressure, as defined in unit hi. i common liquids under ordinary circumstances behave in this way. Examples include pure fluids and solutions. Liquids which have suspended matter of sufficient size and concentration may deviate from Newtonian behavior. Examples of liquids exhibiting non-Newtonian behavior (unit hi. i) include polymer suspensions, emulsions, and fruit juices. Glass capillary viscometers are useful for the measurement of fluids, with the appropriate choice of capillary dimensions, for Newtonian fluids of viscosity up to 10 Pascals (Newtons m/sec 2) or 100 Poise (dynes cm/sec 2). Traditionally, these viscometers have been used in the oil industry. However, they have been adapted for use in the food industry and are commonly used for molecular weight prediction of food polymers in very dilute solutions (Daubert and Foegeding, 1998). There are three common types of capillary viscometers including Ubelohde, Ostwald, and Cannon-Fenske. These viscometers are often referred to as U-tube viscometers because they resemble the letter U (see Fig. HI.3.1). 

Suppose we have a confined fluid at a given pressure and decide to increase the pressure of the fluid. What happens Pascal s principle gives us the answer ... 

Pascal s principle can easily be understood by examining the pressure versus depth equation. Let s assume we have a confined fluid system where the pressure on top of the fluid is atmospheric pressure. Assuming point P1 is at the top of the fluid, the pressure at any point P2 will initially be ...

A highly viscous fluid is thus one that does not shear rapidly under a large shear stress. Using MKS units, viscosity has units of [kg/(m s)] or Pascal-seconds2. Viscosity, in older literature, was expressed using the CGS unit poise = [g/(cm-s)] 1 Pa-s = 10 Poise. 

The pressure P of a fluid on a surface is defined as the normal force exerted by the fluid per unit area of the surface. If force is measured in N and area in m2, the unit is the newton per square meter or N nTJ, called the pascal, symbol Pa, the basic SI unit of pressure. In the English engineering system the most common unit is the pound force per square inch (psi). 

Pascal 2 When pressure is changed (increased or decreased) at any point in a homogenous, incompressible fluid, all other points experience the same change of pressure. 

Pascal 3. The hydraulic lever. The hydraulic jack is a problem in fluid equilibrium, just as a pulley system is a problem in mechanical equilibrium (no accelerations involved). It s the static situation in which a small force on a small piston balances a large force on a large piston. No change of pressure need be involved here. A constant force on one piston slowly lifts a different piston with a constant force on it. At all times during this process the fluid is in near-equilibrium. This principle is no more than an application of the definition of pressure as F/A, the quotient of... 

This type of flow is illustrated in Figure 12.3. A fluid in shear consists of infinitely thin layers sliding one on top of the other. The velocity gradient, dvjdy, is called the shear rate, (y) and is measured in units of sec . The viscosity, , is the ratio of the force in the y direction per unit of area (Fy/A) to the shear rate, t,. The units of viscosity are Pascal sec (SI) or poise [gm cm sec ] (cgs). 

The pressure at a point in a fluid (gas or liquid) is the force per unit area that the fluid would exert on a plane surface passing through the point. Standard units of fluid pressure are N/m, (pascal, or Pa) in the SI system, dyne/cm in the CGS system, and Ibf/ft in the American engineering system. The unit lb /in. (psi) is also common in the American engineering system. The pressure at the base of a vertical column of fluid of density p and height h is given by the expression... 

In measuring the flow of fluids in a pipeline, a differential manometer, as shown in Fig. El.26, can be used to determine the pressure difference across an orifice plate. The flow rate can be calibrated with the observed pressure drop. Calculate the pressure drop p — pi in pascal.
