Fluid Mechanics - I Credit Hours: 3 + 0: Instructor: Manzar Masud Contact Number: 0332-5288012

This document provides information about a Fluid Mechanics course including the instructor details, policies, required books, and an introduction to key concepts covered in the course. The course is 3 credit hours taught by Professor Manzar Masud. There will be regular homework assignments, in-class quizzes, and exams according to university policy. The main textbooks are Fluid Mechanics by Frank M. White and A Textbook of Hydraulics, Fluid Mechanics and Hydraulic Machines by R.S. Khurmi. The document begins to cover dimensional homogeneity and properties of fluids before introducing non-Newtonian fluids including dilatant, pseudoplastic, Bingham plastic, and examples of each.

INTRODUCTION
Principle of Dimensional Homogeneity
• In Engineering and science, all equations must be
dimensionally homogeneous, that is , each
additive term in an equation must have the same
dimensions.

P + (1/2)V2 + ρgZ =constant

• Each and every term in this equation must have


dimensions of pressure [ML-1T-2]
PROPERTIES OF FLUIDS
NON-NEWTONIAN FLUIDS
• Fluids that do not follow the linear law of
newton’s law of viscosity are called non-
Newtonian fluids. For the non linear curves,
the slope at any point is called the apparent
viscosity.
DILATANT
• This fluid is shear thickening, increasing its
resistance with increasing strain rate.

• Examples : Quick sand, which stiffens up if


one thrashes out.
PSEUDOPLASTIC
• A shear thinning fluid , which is less resistant at
higher strain rates. A very strong thinning is called
plastic.

• Examples: Polymer solutions, paper pulp in water,


latex paint, blood plasma, syrup and molasses.

• The classic case is paint, which is thick when


poured but thin when brushed at a high strain rate.
BINGHAM PLASTIC
• The limiting case of a plastic substance is one that
required a finite yield stress before it begins to
flow.

• Examples: Clay suspensions, drilling mud,


toothpaste , mayonnaise, chocolate and mustard.

• The classic case is ketchup, which will not come


out of the bottle until you stress it by shaking.
