FLUID STATICS
By definition, a fluid must deform continuously when a shearing stress of any magnitude
is applied.
3.1 THE BASIC EQUIATION OF FLUID STATICS
For a deferential fluid element, the body force, , is
Where is the local gravity vector, ρ the density, and is the volume of the element.
In Cartesian coordinates, , so
By use of the Taylor series representation, the pressure at the left face of the differential
element is

Stress and forces on the other faces of element are obtained in the same way. Combining
all such forces gives the surface force acting on the element. Thus
Collecting and canceling terms, we obtain
or, (3.1a)
The term in parentheses is called the gradient of the pressure or simply the gradient, and
is designated as grad p or . In rectangular coordinates
Using the gradient designation, Eq. 3.1a can be written as

b. Compressible Fluid
Pressure variation in any static fluid is described by the basic pressure-height relation
For many liquids, density is only a weak function of temperature. Pressure and
density of liquids are related by the bulk compressibility modulus, or modulus of
elasticity,
(3.8)
If the bulk modulus is assumed constant, then density is only a function of pressure.
The density of gases generally depends on pressure and temperature. The ideal
gas equation of state
(3.9)
where: R = the gas constant
T = the absolute temperature
Example 3.3
The maximum power output capability of an internal combustion engine decreases with
altitude (sea level) because the air density and hence the mass flow rate of fuel and air
decrease. A truck leaves Denver ( jenenge kutho ing monconegoro ) (elevation 5,280 ft).
Determine the local temperature and barometric pressure are 80oF and 24.8 in. of
mercury, respectively. It travels through Vail Pass ( jenenge kutho ing monconegoro )
(elevation 10,600 ft). The temperature decreases at the rate of 3 oF/1000 ft of elevation
change. Determine the local barometric pressure at Vail Pass and the percent decrease in
maximum power available, compared to that at Denver.
GIVEN:
Truck travels from Denver to Vail Pass. Engine power output is directly proportion to air
density.

Denver: z = 5,280 ft Vail Pass: z = 10,600 ft
ρ = 24.8 in. Hg

b) Percent engine at Vail Pass compared to Denver.
SOLUTION:
Basic equations:
Assumptions: 1) Static fluid
2) Air behaves as an ideal gas
By substituting into the basic pressure-height relation,
or
But temperature varies linearly with elevation, dT/dz = – m, so T = To – m(z– zo)

Note that To must be expressed as an absolute temperature because it came from the ideal
gas equation.
Thus
and
The percentage change in power is equal to the change in density, so that
