Fluid Mechanics: Control Volume Analysis

Chapter 3 of ENGR 2322 focuses on integral relations for a control volume in fluid mechanics, emphasizing the laws of mechanics, the distinction between system and control volume, and the Reynolds Transport Theorem (RTT). RTT serves as a tool to transition from system-based analysis to control volume analysis, allowing for the examination of fluid motion within a defined volume. The chapter outlines the characteristics of a control volume and its relationship to the system concept.

ENGR 2322: Fluid Mechanics

Chapter 3: Integral Relations for


a control volume

Dr. Aklilu Tesfamichael Baheta


Department of Mechanical Engineering
Lesson outcomes
At the end of this class student should be able to
• Know laws of Mechanics
• System and control volume
• Reynolds Transport Theorem

MDB2013-Fluid Mechanics I
The bases of finite control volume analysis are some
fundamental laws of physics:
Careful consideration is required in defining the finite
region in space, the control volume, used in solving
the problem: Analysis of jet engine using control
volume approach

Then apply the laws to find the parameters at the control surface.
Reynolds Transport Theorem (RTT)

• An analytical tool to shift from describing the laws


governing fluid motion using the system(considering a
given mass of the fluid) concept to the control volume
concept (consider a given volume).
• RTT for a simple Fixed Control volume
Summary
A SYSTEM-Continuous mass of fluid, containing always the same
fluid particles which may move, flow and interact with the
surroundings.
CONTROL VOLUME (cv): Volume in space.
– It can deform with time
– It can move & rotate
– The mass of control volume can change with time
Reynolds Transport Theorem
• Bridging system concept and control volume concept
