Fluid KYA hota hai?


Stress KYA hota hai? (scratch se build karo)

Jab koi force area ki surface pe act karti hai, toh hum ise do parts mein split karte hain:

  • Surface ke perpendicular part → normal force .
  • Surface ke parallel (tangential) part → shear force .

Area se kyun divide karte hain? Kyunki deformation ke liye push ki intensity matter karti hai, total force nahi. Usi force ko ek tiny patch pe lagao toh huge stress hoga; badi area pe spread karo toh gentle rahega.

Fluid respond KAISE karta hai: rate of strain, na ki strain

Newtonian fluid (paani, hawa, oil) ke liye, shear stress velocity gradient ke proportional hoti hai:

Flashcards

Fluid ko kya define karta hai?
Ek aisi substance jo kisi bhi shear stress ke under continuously deform hoti hai, chahe kitni bhi chhoti kyun na ho.
Fluid ka koi fixed shape kyun nahi hota?
Yeh rest mein shear sustain nahi kar sakta, isliye gravity ke against apni surfaces hold nahi kar sakta — container fill karne ke liye flow karta hai.
Normal stress formula aur meaning?
; surface ke perpendicular force component per unit area.
Shear stress formula?
; tangential force per unit area, units Pa.
Newton's law of viscosity?
— shear stress equals viscosity times velocity gradient.
Solid vs fluid stress law?
Solid (stress ∝ strain); fluid (stress ∝ rate of strain).
Dynamic viscosity ki units?
Pa·s (pascal-second).
Kya gas ek fluid hai?
Haan — liquids aur gases dono fluids hain.
Static rest mein fluid mein shear stress kitni hoti hai?
Zero — yahi defining property hai.
physically kya hai?
Velocity gradient = rate of shear strain, units .

Recall Feynman: 12-saal ke bachche ko explain karo

Socho paper ki stack ke top ko sideways push kar rahe ho. Paper (ek solid-jaisi cheez) thodi tilt hoti hai aur ruk jaati hai. Ab socho stack slippery paani ki layers se bani hai: top push karo aur layers ek doosre ke upar hamesha ke liye slide karti rehti hain — kabhi nahi ruktein. Yahi "sideways push karne pe kabhi nahi rukna" exactly woh cheez hai jo kuch cheez ko fluid banati hai. Aur kyunki yeh sideways push ke against khud ko hold nahi kar sakta, woh bas girat ho jaata hai aur jis bhi cup mein daalo use fill kar leta hai. Thicker fluids (honey) slowly slide karti hain, thin wale (paani) fast — yahi "slowness" viscosity hai.
