6.1 Development of the Momentum Principle

Start with a modified-form of Newtons 2nd law:

r F

r r d mV F = dt

( )

= sum of forces on fluid system

r mV = linear momentum of system

r r Also, Fdt = d (mV ) s-------Impulse-momentum principle

6.1 Development of the Momentum Principle

Momentum entering = A1u 1 tu 1

Momentum leaving = A 2 u 2 tu 2

Force = rate of change of momentum ( A2u 2 tu 2 A1u1 tu1 ) F= t


Q= A1 u1 = A2 u2,

the total force, FT, is given by the sum of these forces

r r r r FT = FR + FB + FP

Step in Analysis with Momentum Equation

1. Draw a control volume: Based on the problem, selecting the stream between two gradually varied flow sections as the control volume; 2. Decide on co-ordinate axis system: Determining the directions of co-ordinate axis, magnitudes and directions of components of all forces and velocities on each axis. 3. Plotting diagram for computation : Analyzing the forces on control volume and plotting the directions of all forces on the control volume. 4. Writing momentum equation and solving it: Substituting components of all forces and velocities on axes into momentum equation and solving it. All the pressures are relative to the relative pressure.

Application of the Momentum Equation

1. Force due to the flow of fluid round a pipe bend. 2. Force on a nozzle at the outlet of a pipe. 3. Impact of a jet on a plane surface. 4. Force due to flow round a curved vane.

Application of the Energy, Momentum, and Continuity Equations in Combination In general, when solving fluid mechanics problems, one should use all available equations in order to derive as much information as possible about the flow. For example, consistent with the approximation of the energy equation we can also apply the momentum and continuity equations
