Understanding Extensive Properties
Unlock Audio Lesson
Today, we will learn about extensive properties. Who can tell me what an extensive property is?
Isn't it a property that depends on the mass of the material?
Exactly! Extensive properties change with the amount of mass. Can anyone give me examples of such properties?
Mass and energy would be examples?
Right on! Mass, momentum, and energy are all extensive properties. Remember, the more mass you have, the larger these properties will be. We can remember this with the acronym **M.E.M.** - Mass, Energy, Momentum.
So, if I have a larger object, it will have more momentum, right?
Correct! Now let’s wrap up. Extensive properties are dependent on mass. Remember: M.E.M. - Mass, Energy, Momentum.
Understanding Intensive Properties
Unlock Audio Lesson
Now let's move to intensive properties. Does anyone know how these differ from extensive properties?
They don't depend on mass, right?
That's absolutely correct! Intensive properties remain constant regardless of how much mass is present. Can you think of examples?
Temperature and pressure are intensive properties.
Yes! Another example is the specific energy. If I have a small cup of water at a specific temperature, it has the same temperature regardless of the cup size. We can remember intensive properties with the catchy phrase: **'Independent and Intense!'**
So, intensive properties are like characteristics of the material itself!
Exactly! Intensive properties define the state of the material regardless of size. Remember, 'Independent and Intense' for future reference.
Comparison of Extensive and Intensive Properties
Unlock Audio Lesson
Let's compare extensive and intensive properties. Who can summarize their differences?
Extensive properties depend on mass, while intensive properties do not.
Great job! And when we say extensive properties, we refer to things like mass, momentum, and energy, correct?
And for intensive properties, we talk about temperature, pressure, and specific energy.
Well done! To help remember, think of **'E' for Extensive and 'M' for Mass**. For intensive properties, we have independent characteristics. Excellent understanding, everyone!
Applications of Properties in Fluid Dynamics
Unlock Audio Lesson
How do we apply these properties in fluid dynamics, particularly in conservation principles?
We use these properties to calculate and understand how fluids behave under different forces and conditions.
Exactly! The principles of conservation of mass, momentum and energy utilize these property definitions. Why is this knowledge crucial?
It helps us design efficient systems and predict fluid behaviors.
Correct! Understanding these properties allows us to analyze various fluid systems. Remember how every concept connects back to defining physical behaviors!
Introduction & Overview

Quick Overview
Standard
The section introduces two types of properties in fluid mechanics: extensive properties, which vary with the amount of mass in a system, and intensive properties, which do not depend on mass. It explains the significance of these properties in the context of momentum and energy conservation principles.

Definition of Properties
This section explores the essential properties in fluid mechanics, dividing them into two categories: extensive properties and intensive properties. Extensive properties are defined as those that are dependent on the amount of mass present; they increase as mass increases and decrease as mass decreases. For example, mass, momentum, and energy are extensive properties. On the other hand, intensive properties are independent of mass. They are usually expressed per unit mass, such as specific energy and velocity vectors. An important relationship exists between extensive and intensive properties mathematically, defined as the derivative of an extensive property with respect to mass. Understanding these properties is crucial for studying the conservation principles in fluid dynamics, including mass, linear momentum, and energy conservation. The distinction between these types of properties is foundational for applying the Reynolds transport theorem, a fundamental principle that links system-level and control volume-level analyses.

Extensive Properties

Extensive property is considered proportional to the amount of mass. When you apply extensive properties, it means the properties which are proportional to the amount of mass. As mass increases, the extensive properties increase. If mass decreases, the extensive property decreases. For example, when considering mass conservation, momentum conservation, and energy conservation, the relationship is clear; mass (m) is the conservation part for momentum and energy.
Detailed Explanation
Extensive properties are those that depend on the amount of material present in a system. For example, if you take a block of ice, the mass of the ice is an extensive property. If you cut the ice block in half, the mass reduces, demonstrating that extensive properties change with the size of the system. Mathematically, extensive properties can be represented as B, which changes with mass (m) of the system, following the relationship dB/dm.
Examples & Analogies
Think of extensive properties like a buffet at a restaurant. The amount of food (mass) on your plate is an extensive property. If you pile more food on your plate, the total quantity increases. If you eat some off the plate, the quantity decreases. Just like that, total mass, momentum, and energy change according to your 'portion size' or mass.
Intensive Properties

Intensive properties are independent of mass, which means that these properties remain constant regardless of the amount of material present. For example, temperature or pressure can be considered as intensive properties. In the context of energy conservation, the extensive property can be identified as energy, while the intensive property is specific energy, denoted as e, which is energy per unit mass.
Detailed Explanation
Intensive properties do not change when the system size changes. For instance, if you have a pot of boiling water and you remove some water, the temperature of the water (an intensive property) remains the same. This illustrates that while extensive properties depend on the size or mass of the material, intensive properties are characteristics irrespective of the amount of material. The relationship can be identified mathematically ase = B/m.
Examples & Analogies
Think of intensive properties as the color of a dye. Whether you have a small drop or a large jar full of dye, the hue remains the same. Just like that, properties like temperature don't change with how much material you have—if it's 100 degrees Celsius, it stays 100 degrees regardless of whether you have a cup of water or an entire bathtub!
Comparing Extensive and Intensive Properties

The relationship between extensive property (B) and intensive property (b) is simple: dB/dm gives the ratio of extensive to specific coverage of intensive property. This shows how the two properties relate to one another; while extensive properties can be summed or divided, intensive properties provide a normalized measure per unit mass which is consistent across different amounts.
Detailed Explanation
This relationship highlights the differences in how these properties function. As outlined earlier, extensive properties add together based on mass, while intensive properties always remain consistent, providing a fundamental basis for their ratio expressed as dB/dm. Understanding this relationship is key in fluid mechanics, where you may need to switch between these properties depending on the calculations required.
Examples & Analogies
Imagine you are measuring sports performance—like a runner's speed. The total distance run is akin to extensive properties (B), while the speed (distance per time) represents an intensive property (b). Speed remains unchanged regardless of how far the runner goes; one can think of a speedometer showing consistent numbers irrespective of the total distance traveled.
