One dimensional flow is the type of flow in which the flow characteristics such as velocity, pressure, density, temperature etc. are the function of time and one space co-ordinate only. Mathematically, u=f(x) ; v=0 ; w=0…...

Most of the conventional pressure gauges are of a mechanical type. These gauges embody on elastic element which deflects under the action of the applied pressure. This movement mechanically magnified and read with the help of...
Manometers is the device which is used for measuring the pressure at a point in a fluid by balancing the column of fluid by the same or another column of liquid. Simple Manometers Simple manometers are used to measure the...
The surface tension is due to cohesion between particles at the free surface. Due to molecular attraction, liquids have properties of cohesion and adhesion. Cohesion is due to the force of attraction between molecules of same...
Fluid may be defined as a substance which is capable of flowing. It has no definite shape of its own but it confirms the shape of the containing vessel. A small amount of shear force exerted on a fluid will cause it to undergo a...
The ideal body having large thermal energy capacity which either continuously supplies or absorbs the infinite amount of heat without changing its temperature is called thermal energy reservoir or heat reservoir. If the reservoir...
The second law of thermodynamics is stated in two ways. Kelvin Planck statement and Clausius statement. Kelvin Planck Statement The Kelvin Planck statement can be expressed as “It is impossible for any device that...
Consider an open system through in which the working substance flows as a steady rate as shown in figure. The working substance entering the system at (1) and leaving the system at (2). Let, p1 be the pressure of the working...
In any systems, the rate of flow of working fluid is constant with respect to time, then the system is known as steady flow system. In this system, the mass of working fluid enters the system and leaves the system after doing the...
According to the first law of thermodynamics, all forms of energy are equivalent. One form of energy can be converted into other form and any process is possible as long as it does not create energy or destroy energy. Also, in a...
