M E 320 Professor John M. Cimbala Lecture 02

Today, we will :

  • Continue talking about classifications of fluid flow
  • Discuss dimensions, units, unit conversions, and significant digits
  • Begin Chapter 2 – Properties of Fluids

B. Classification of Fluid Flows (continued)

  1. Viscous vs. inviscid regions of flow
  2. Internal vs. external flow
  3. Compressible vs. incompressible flow
  4. Laminar vs. turbulent flow

Laminar flow

Turbulent flow

  1. Natural vs. forced flow

Natural Forced

  1. Steady vs. unsteady

Steady in the mean Unsteady

C. Dimensions, Units, and Significant Digits

  1. Dimension =
  2. Unit =
  3. Unit conversions, unity conversion ratios

Example: Unit conversions Given : The mass of an object is m = 2.00 kg.

To do : How much does this mass weigh on earth in units of lbf?

Solution :

  1. Significant digits

D. Fluid Properties (Chapter 2)

  1. Kinematic properties
  2. Thermodynamic properties
  3. Other (miscellaneous) properties a. speed of sound
