Streamline Flow

Concepts

  • Streamline flow: Path of a fluid particle in steady flow; tangent at any point aligns with fluid velocity.
  • Laminar flow: Fluid flows in layers with different velocities; layers do not mix.
  • Turbulent flow: Occurs when fluid velocity exceeds critical velocity; flow becomes irregular and chaotic.
  • Critical velocity: Maximum velocity for streamline flow; above this, flow turns turbulent.
Diagram 1 – NEET Physics Mechanical Properties of Fluids

Solved Examples

  • Ex 1: Identify flow type if fluid velocity is below critical velocity.
    • Answer: Laminar flow (steady layers, no mixing).
  • Ex 2: What happens if velocity exceeds critical velocity?
    • Answer: Flow becomes turbulent (irregular motion).

Practice Set

  • Q1: What defines a streamline?
    • A) Curve tangent to fluid velocity
    • B) Random fluid path
    • C) Path of fastest particle
    • D) Path perpendicular to velocity
  • Q2: Laminar flow is characterized by:
    • A) Mixing layers
    • B) Steady layers with no mixing
    • C) Irregular motion
    • D) Velocity above critical
  • Q3: Critical velocity is:
    • A) Velocity below which flow is turbulent
    • B) Velocity above which flow is laminar
    • C) Velocity up to which flow is streamline
    • D) Velocity causing fluid to stop

Answer Key

  • Q1: A - Streamline is a curve tangent to fluid velocity at every point.
  • Q2: B - Laminar flow has steady layers that do not mix.
  • Q3: C - Critical velocity is the max velocity for streamline flow.

Memory Aids

  • Streamline = tangent to velocity
  • Laminar = Layers, no mixing
  • Turbulent = Velocity > critical, irregular
  • Critical velocity = boundary between laminar and turbulent

Equation of Continuity

Concepts

Blood Flow and Heart Attack

Explanation

  • Artery constriction due to plaque increases blood flow speed.
  • Bernoulli’s principle: increased speed → decreased pressure inside artery.
  • Low pressure may cause artery collapse (vascular flutter).
  • Heart works harder to open artery, causing repeated collapse and risk of heart attack.

Solved Examples

    A) Increases
    B) Decreases
    C) Remains same
    D) Fluctuates randomly
  • Q2: Vascular flutter is caused by:
    A) High blood pressure
    B) Artery collapse due to low pressure
    C) Heart rate increase
    D) Blood viscosity
  • Q3: Heart attack risk increases due to:
    A) Constant artery diameter
    B) Repeated artery collapse
    C) Low blood flow speed
    D) Normal pressure

Answer Key

  • Q1: B - Pressure decreases due to increased flow speed in constriction.
  • Q2: B - Vascular flutter is artery collapse from low internal pressure.
  • Q3: B - Repeated collapse stresses heart, increasing heart attack risk.

Memory Aids

  • High speed → low pressure → artery collapse
  • Vascular flutter = repeated artery collapse
  • Heart works harder → risk of heart attack

Definition and Properties

  • Viscosity is the fluid's internal friction opposing relative motion between adjacent layers.
  • It is a measure of fluid friction or internal resistance to flow.

Difference between Viscosity and Solid Friction

Diagram 106 – NEET Physics Mechanical Properties of Fluids
  • Viscosity acts inside liquids; solid friction acts between solid surfaces.
  • Viscous force depends on contact area; solid friction does not.
  • Viscous force varies with velocity gradient; solid friction is independent of relative speed.
  • Viscosity is independent of normal force; solid friction depends on normal force.

Newton's Law of Viscosity

  • Viscous force between two liquid layers: \( F = -\eta A \frac{dv}{dy} \)
  • \( \eta \): coefficient of viscosity (Pa·s), \( A \): contact area (m2), \( \frac{dv}{dy} \): velocity gradient (s-1)

Stoke's Law

  • Retarding viscous force on sphere of radius \( r \) moving at velocity \( v \): \( F_v = 6 \pi \eta r v \)

Terminal Velocity of a Sphere in Fluid

  • At terminal velocity \( v_t \), net force is zero: buoyant force + viscous force = weight
  • Equilibrium: \( F_B + F_v = W \)
  • Mathematically: \( \frac{4}{3} \pi r^3 \sigma g + 6 \pi \eta r v_t = \frac{4}{3} \pi r^3 \rho g \)
  • Terminal velocity: \( v_t = \frac{2 r^2 (\rho - \sigma) g}{9 \eta} \)

  • Solution: \( v_t = \frac{2 \times (0.001)^2 \times (2500 - 1000) \times 9.8}{9 \times 0.001} = 3.27 \text{ m/s} \)

Surface Tension

Definition and Explanation

  • Surface tension is the force per unit length acting along the surface of a liquid, making it behave like a stretched elastic membrane.
  • It causes liquids to minimize their surface area, forming shapes like spherical drops.
  • Example: Water drops on a lotus leaf are rounded due to surface tension; soap bubbles have two surfaces with pressure differences maintaining stability.
  • Formula: S = F/L, where F is force on either side of an imaginary line on the surface and L is the length of that line.
  • SI unit: Newton per meter (N/m), Dimensions: [S] = [MT-2]
  • Factors affecting surface tension:
    • Temperature: Surface tension decreases with increasing temperature.
    • Impurities: Highly soluble impurities increase surface tension; sparingly soluble impurities decrease it.

Surface Energy and Relation to Surface Tension

  • Surface energy (E) is the extra potential energy stored in surface molecules due to inward forces.
  • SI unit: Joule (J), Dimensions: [E] = [ML2T-2]
  • Relation: Surface tension equals the increase in surface energy per unit area, S = W/ΔA, where W is work done and ΔA is increase in surface area.
