Let- F be vector function defined throughout some region of space and let C be any curve in that region. is the position vector of a point p (x,y,z) on C then the integral ƪ F .d is called the line integral of  F taken over

Now, since =xi+yi+zk

And if F͞ =F1i + F2 j+ F3  K

Q1. Evaluate where F= cos y.i-x siny j and C is the curve y= in the xy plae from (1,0) to (0,1)

Solution : The curve y= i.e x2+y2 =1. Is a circle with centre at the origin and radius unity.

Q2. Evaluate where = (2xy +z2) I +x2j +3xz2 k along the curve x=t, y=t2, z= t3 from (0,0,0) to (1,1,1).

Solution :  F x dr =

 Put x=t, y=t2, z= t3

Dx=dt ,dy=2tdt,                dz=3t2dt.

F x dr =

=(3t4-6t8) dti  – ( 6t5+3t8 -3t7) dt j +( 4t4+2t7-t2)dt k

 =t4-6t3)dti –(6t5+3t8-3t7)dt j+(4t4 + 2t7 – t2)dt k

Example 4: Prove that   ͞͞͞F = [y2 cos x +z3] i+(2y sin x – 4) j +(3xz2 + 2) k is a conservative field. Find (i) scalar potential for͞͞͞F  (ii) the work done in moving an object in this field from (0, 1, -1) to (/ 2,-1, 2)

Sol. : (a) The fleld is conservative if cur͞͞͞͞͞͞F = 0.

Now, curl͞͞͞F = ̷̷ X                    / y            / z

                            Y2COS X +Z3        2y sin x-4     3xz2 + 2

; Cur = (0-0) – (3z2 – 3z2) j + (2y cos x- 2y cos x) k = 0

; F is conservative.

(b) Since F is conservative there exists a scalar potential ȸ such that

F = ȸ

(y2 cos x=z3) i + (2y sin x-4) j + (3xz2 + 2) k =   i +   j + k

= y2 cos x + z3, = 2y sin x – 4, = 3xz2 + 2

Now, = dx + dy + dz

= (y2 cos x + z3) dx +(2y sin x – 4)dy + (3xz2 + 2)dz

= (y2 cos x dx + 2y sin x dy) +(z3dx +3xz2dz) +(- 4 dy) + (2 dz)

=d(y2 sin x + z3x – 4y -2z)

ȸ = y2 sin x +z3x – 4y -2z

(c)  now, work done = .d   ͞r

=  dx + (2y sin x – 4) dy + ( 3xz2 + 2) dz

=   (y2 sin x + z3x – 4y + 2z)    (as shown above)

= [ y2 sin x + z3x – 4y + 2z ]( /2, -1, 2)

= [ 1 +8 + 4 + 4 ] – { - 4 – 2} =4 + 15

The divergence theorem states that the surface integral of the normal component of a vector point function “F” over a closed surface “S” is equal to the volume integral of the divergence of F taken over the volume “V” enclosed by the surface S.

    5.8 streamlines

    Definition:-an imaginary curve drawn in the fluid such that at  any instant of time, the tangent at any point of it is along the velocity vector at the point is called stream line.

    Stream line indicates the dim of motion at each as shown in fig. from the definition it is clear that these can be no flaw area a stream line

    To find the equation of stream line , consider two points on the stream line .

    Represent unit tangent vector F at P .

    Let be velocity vector at P.

    From the definition , (k is some constant)

    Equating component , we get

    represents the diffential equation of stream line

    question 1 :- velocity distribution for a fluid flow is given by

    find the equation of

    Stream line passing through the point (1,1,2)

    Ans:- the diffential  equation of stream line are given by

    Putting for u,v,w we get

    These are two independent equations, consider

    Integrating -------1

    As stream the passes through (1,1,2)

    Put x=1 , y=1 in eq. 1

    Consider now,

    Integrating gives ,

    Putting we get

    Equation 2 &4 together represent curve of intersection of surface

    Which represents the stream line

    Question 2:- if the velocity of an incompressible fluid  at (x,y,z) is given by

    Where

    Then determine the stream line at motion

    Eq 1 & 2 together represents stream line

     


    Equation of continuity is the expression of the law of constellation of energy

    Let S be the closed surface drawn in the fluid & taken fixed in a space. suppose it encloses a volume v at the fluid.

    Let be the fluid density.

    Let be the surface element & be the unit outward drawn normal to . is the fluid velocity at

  • Rate of normal flux of fluid mass per unit time across
  • Total rate of mass flow out of V across S.
  •  

    integrating

    Equation 1 & 2 together represents stream line

    Using Gauss divergence theorem

    Total rate of mass flow=

    At time t , the mass of fluid with the element is

    Rate of increase of mass with V =

    For conservation we have

    Valid for all volume V,

    Which is called equation of continuity in cartesion form,

    Equation of continuity

     


    we know that Euler’s equation of motion as

    Now tell us consider following conditions:-

  • fluid motion is steady so that
  • motion is irrational giving
  • external force
    is conservation such that
  • ( v is for potential)

    Using vector identify results , we can write

    But   ( motion is imtational)

    Euler’s equation of motion now takes the form

    Taking dot product with we get

     


    But dv=

    Integrating above equation

    Eq. is called Bernoulli’s equation

    The component is given by

    Substituting x=3, y=0 & z=2 &t=1

    Question 2:-  a liquid is in equilibrium under the action of field per unit mass given by

    Find the pressure at any point on the field

    Answer :-  let v be the force potential
