and Kinetic Friction Introduction The amount of friction force between two surfaces in contact depends on the type of the surfaces in contact and the amount of compression between the surfaces. Static friction is the force that is acting against your force before the object begins to move. If you exert a small push on the box‚ the box will not move because static friction is directly opposite to the push. If you apply a greater force than the static friction force‚ the friction increases to

Lecture No. 5 CLASSIFICATION OF FLUID FLOW AND THE CONTINUITY EQUATION 5.1 Classification of Fluid Flow Uniform flow If the velocity of the fluid is the same in magnitude and direction at every point in the fluid the flow is said to be uniform. Non-uniform flow A non-uniform flow is one where the velocities at different points at a given instant are not the same. Every fluid that flows near a solid boundary will be non-uniform because the fluid at the boundary takes the velocity of the

: 1. To determine the head loss and friction factor for laminar & turbulent flow in a smooth pipe over a range of Reynolds’s number . 2. To obtain the following relationships : a. Head loss as a function of the velocity of flow . b. Friction factor as a function of Reynolds number . Theory : The friction resistance to the flow of fluid through a pipe results in a loss of pressure energy for a given fluid flowing a long a given pipe‚ experiments show that for laminar flow : Hl α V And

1. Using diagrams and/or graphs‚ explain the following terms: a. Pressure Head pressure head [′presh·ər ‚hed] (fluid mechanics) Also known as head. The height of a column of fluid necessary to develop a specific pressure. The pressure of water at a given point in a pipe arising from the pressure in it. b. Total Discharge Head Total discharge head refers to the actual physical difference in height between the liquid level in the pit and the highest point of the discharge pipe or water level in

Although different in many respects‚ liquids and gases have a common characteristic in which they differ from solids; they are fluids‚ lacking the ability of solids to offer permanent resistance to a deforming force. Fluids flow under the

Ions‚ atoms and molecules are constantly in random motion; this is mainly marked in liquids and gases as they are further apart. When there is a small amount of molecules of a substance in an area and a large number is another area and they have no barrier between them the random motion causes numbers to even up; this is called diffusion. Diffusion is when molecules move from a high concentration to a low concentration. The concentration gradient is when the concentration is different for each
