Shear stress
Stress that tends to make one surface being sliced or slide parallel to another surface

Tensile stress
Stress that tends to pull things apart

Compressive stress
Stress that tends to crush the column

p/s: If you have water flowing in a channel, shear stress describes the force of water that is trying to drag the channel surface downstream with it.

Shear force Shear stress, = Area

Shear force
Shear force is a force which acts tangentially to a surface and causes the surface to deform
A x A B B

Shear strain
Deformation is measured by the angle = shear strain (or angular displacement) Fluid stress is proportional to strain rate. increases in proportion to the applied force, F.

Surface tension
What is surface tension?
An effect within the surface layer of a liquid that causes that layer to behave as elastic sheet.

What causes surface tension?


The intermolecular forces between the liquid molecules

MZA@UTPChemEFluidMech

31

Surface Tension
B

liquid

In the bulk of liquid, A is pulled equally in all directions by neighboring liquid molecules, resulting in a net force of zero At the surface of the liquid, B is pulled inwards by other molecules deeper inside the liquid which can be balanced y y only by the resistance of the liquid to compression. This inward pull tends to diminish the surface area, and in this respect a liquid surface resembles a stretched elastic membrane.

Capillarity
The ability of a substance to draw another substance into it Depends on the relative magnitudes of the cohesion of the liquid and the adhesion of the liquid to the walls of the containing vessel
MZA@UTPChemEFluidMech

Application: Capillarity
Liquids rise in tubes if they wet (adhesion > cohesion)

Liquids fall in tubes if they do not wet (cohesion > adhesion).

MZA@UTPChemEFluidMech

33

Capillarity
is zero Perfect wetting
(liquid spreads as a thin film over the surface of the solid)

E.g.:water on clean metal = 180o Case of no wetting E.g.: Mercury on clean glass

MZA@UTPChemEFluidMech

Capillarity
Capillary rise, h can be calculated using the equation: ti
h= cos Wetted perimeter Cross sectional area
h = h i ht of capillary rise height f ill i = surface tension = contact angle = specific weight
MZA@UTPChemEFluidMech

34

Capillarity
For circular tube: cos d h= 2 d
cos d 2 cos = r =
d = diameter of the tube r = radius of the tube

MZA@UTPChemEFluidMech

Capillarity
Capillarity is important when using t b i tubes smaller than about 3/8 inch (10 mm) in diameter. For tube diameters larger than 1 in (12 mm), capillary effects are negligible.
