The change in velocity of the fluid in a flow (either in magnitude or direction) induces large-scale turbulence due to the formation of eddies. So, a portion of energy possessed by the flowing fluid is ultimately dissipated as heat by radiation and is considered to be the loss of energy. Some of the reasons for … Read more

Bernoulli’s Theorem Bernoulli’s theorem is the principle of energy conservation for ideal fluids in steady or streamlined inflow. This theorem describes the relationship among pressure, haste, and elevation in a moving fluid similar to liquid or gas. According to this theorem, the compressibility and density ( internal disunion) are negligible and the inflow is steady, … Read more

Reynolds number The non-dimensional parameter called Reynolds number was discovered by an Irish engineer and physicist, Osborne Reynolds, in 1883. He identified the fundamental dimensionless parameter that characterizes the behavior of flowing fluids, known as the Reynolds number. It was the ratio that shows the effect of viscosity in a given medium that governs the … Read more

What is manometer The term manometer comes from the Greek words’manós’, which means thin or rare, and’métron,’ which means measure. A manometer is a device that measures the pressure (static pressure) exerted by a still liquid or gas based on the idea of hydrostatic equilibrium. The pressure at any location in a fluid at rest … Read more

Flow of fluids The flow of fluids: Fluid is a substance similar to a gas or a liquid that has no fixed shape and flows fluently upon operation of external pressure. Flow is defined as the act of moving on in a steady, nonstop sluice. Therefore, fluid inflow is a part of fluid mechanics that deals with fluid dynamics and is a stir of feasts and liquids. The stir of fluid is due to unstable forces, and this stir continues as long as unstable forces are applied. For illustration, if you’re pouring water from a teacup, the haste of water is veritably … Read more
