Rotation of Fluid Mass

This document discusses fluid mechanics concepts including fluid dynamics and fluid flow. It covers the rotation of fluid masses in cylindrical buckets and deriving the critical rotation speed to avoid spillage. It also covers fluid flow within closed cylindrical vessels when fully or partially filled, with or without pressure applied. Finally, it introduces the concepts of a control volume and system in fluid flow and defines the law of conservation of mass, stating that for steady flow the mass entering per unit time equals the mass leaving.

Rotation of Fluid Mass
Sample Problem
A cylindrical bucket 200 mm in diameter and
300 mm high is 2/3 full of water. It is swung in a
vertical plane, so that the bottom of the bucket
describing a circle having a radius of 1 m. How
fast should the bucket be rotated in rpm so that
no water is spilled? Neglect the weight of the
bucket.

FLUID FLOW
SYSTEM
Is a fixed quantity of matter and no mass is
allowed to cross the system boundary.

CONTROL VOLUME
Is a space of interest where mass can cross the
boundary. The boundary of the control volume
is called control surface.

LAW OF CONSERVATION OF MASS
“For any closed system to all transfers of matters
and energy (both of which have mass), the
mass of the system must remain constant over
time, as system mass cannot change quantity if
it is not added or removed.”

LAW OF CONSERVATION OF MASS
Mass entering per unit time = mass leaving per
unit time + increase of mass in the control
volume per unit time
STEADY FLOW
No Increase of mass in the control volume per
unit time
Mass entering per unit time = mass leaving per
unit time
