Document Summary
When moving fluids come into contact with solid surfaces, the surfaces are subjected to forces in accordance with newton"s second law. It is important to test and study the effects the forces have on design structures and supports. These results help to determine the strength a structure can withstand when under fluid forces and pressures. The design of turbo machinery also requires the study of fluid forces. Fluid forces are used to power turbines, which then turns the fluid energy into mechanical energy. Fluid forces and turbines allow machinery to be run on clean and environmentally friendly power sources. A pump uses a reverse cycle, using mechanical forces to create fluid momentum. Control volume analysis is used in the fluid mechanics field because it is simpler to monitor a selected area rather than to try and follow individual fluid particles. When using control volume analysis newton"s second law is converted to the conservation of.
