TRANSFER
✓What is FLUID?
MOMENTUM TRANSFER
✓Also known as Fluid mechanics
❑ Branch of engineering science that has to do with the
behavior of fluids (liquids, gases and vapors)
✓ Nature of Fluids
❑ A FLUID is a substance that does not permanently resist
distortion.
Branches of Fluid Mechanics
✓ Fluid Dynamics
❑ Portions of the fluid are
in motion relative to the
other parts
Fluid Statics
✓ Some physical properties of fluids:
a) Density or relative density
b)Viscosity
c)Surface tension
✓ Types of Fluids
❑ Incompressible
▪ Density is not affected by changes in temperature and pressure
❑ Compressible
▪ Density varies appreciably with temperature and pressure
Fluid Statics
✓ Pressure Concept
❑ For a static fluid, the pressure at any point is independent of direction.
Fluid Statics
✓ Example
❑ Calculate the force exerted by 5 lbm in terms of:
a. lbf
b. Dynes
c. Newtons

✓ Example
❑ A storage tank contains oil and water with density of 917 and
1000 kg/m3, respectively. The tank is 3.5 m tall and is open at the
top. The tank is filled with oil to a depth of 3 m and the rest for
water at the bottom. Calculate the pressure in Pa and psia at 3m
from the top of the tank and at the bottom. Also, calculate the
gage pressure at the bottom of the tank.

✓ Head of a Fluid
❑ Common method of expressing pressures in terms of height of a
particular fluid.
❑ The height of the given fluid will exert the same pressure as the
pressure it represents.
Fluid Statics
✓ Example
❑ Convert the following pressure to head of fluid in (a) m of water
at 4°C (density = 1.000 g/cm3) and (b) mm Hg at 0°C (density
=13.5955 g/cm3).
1. 1 atm
2. 100 kN/m3

✓ Devices in Measuring Pressure and Pressure Difference
2. Two-Fluid U-Tube Manometer
APPLICATIONS OF FLUID STATICS
✓ Example
A simple U-tube manometer is being used to measure the head or
pressure drop across a flow meter. The heavier fluid is mercury, with
a density of 13.6 g/cm3, and the top fluid is water, with density of
1.00 g/cm3. The reading on the manometer is R = 30.3 cm.
Calculate the pressure difference in Pa.
