Linear momentum or just the momentum of the body:
The product of the mass and the velocity of a body.
Newton’s second law is usually referred to as the
linear momentum equation.
Conservation of momentum principle: The
momentum of a system remains constant
only when the net force acting on it is zero.

6–3 ■ FORCES ACTING ON A CONTROL VOLUME
The forces acting on a control volume consist of
Body forces that act throughout the entire body of the control
volume (such as gravity, electric, and magnetic forces) and
Surface forces that act on the control surface (such as pressure
and viscous forces and reaction forces at points of contact).
Only external forces are considered in the analysis.
Total force:

A common simplification in the application of Newton’s laws of motion is to
subtract the atmospheric pressure and work with gage pressures.
This is because atmospheric pressure acts in all directions, and its effect cancels
out in every direction.
This means we can also ignore the pressure forces at outlet sections where the
fluid is discharged to the atmosphere since the discharge pressure in such cases
is very near atmospheric pressure at subsonic velocities.

Steady Special Cases
flow
In a typical engineering
problem, the control volume
may contain many inlets and
outlets; at each inlet or outlet
we define the mass flow rate
and the average velocity. 14
Examples of inlets or outlets in which
the uniform flow approximation is
reasonable:
(a) the well-rounded entrance to a pipe,
(b) the entrance to a wind tunnel test
section, and
(c) a slice through a free water jet in air.
15
Momentum-Flux Correction Factor,
The velocity across most inlets and outlets is not uniform.
The control surface integral of Eq. 6–17 may be converted into algebraic form using
a dimensionless correction factor , called the momentum-flux correction factor.

16
For turbulent flow β may have
an insignificant effect at inlets
and outlets, but for laminar
flow β may be important and
should not be neglected. It is
wise to include β in all
momentum control volume
problems. 17
Steady Flow
The net force acting on the control volume during steady flow is equal to the
difference between the rates of outgoing and incoming momentum flows.

• Newton’s second law requires that there must be a force acting in the
tangential direction to cause angular acceleration.
• The strength of the rotating effect, called the moment or torque, is proportional
to the magnitude of the force and its distance from the axis of rotation.
• The perpendicular distance from the axis of rotation to the line of action of the
force is called the moment arm, and the torque M acting on a point mass m at
a normal distance r from the axis of rotation is expressed as

6–6 ■ THE ANGULAR MOMENTUM EQUATION
Many engineering problems involve the moment of the linear momentum of
flow streams, and the rotational effects caused by them.
Such problems are best analyzed by the angular momentum equation, also
called the moment of momentum equation.
An important class of fluid devices, called turbomachines, which include
centrifugal pumps, turbines, and fans, is analyzed by the angular
momentum equation.
A force whose line of
action passes through
point O produces zero
moment about point O.

During steady flow, the amount of angular Special Cases
momentum within the control volume remains
constant, and thus the time rate of change of
angular momentum of the contents of the
control volume is zero.
The net torque acting on the control volume during steady flow is equal to the
difference between the outgoing and incoming angular momentum flow rates.

Radial-Flow Devices
Radial-flow devices: Many rotary-flow devices such as centrifugal pumps and
fans involve flow in the radial direction normal to the axis of rotation.
Axial-flow devices are easily analyzed using the linear momentum equation.
Radial-flow devices involve large changes in angular momentum of the fluid
and are best analyzed with the help of the angular momentum equation.
