Fluids
Why are liquids and gases considered as
fluids VS solids?
A fluid is defined as a substance that deforms
continuously (flow) when acted on by a shearing
stress (tangential to the surface)of any magnitude.
Kinematics,
Studying fluids in flow conditions regardless of the forces causing this motion
Flow velocity V, acceleration a, position of particles x, y, z
Dynamics,
Studying forces acting on or from a fluid when it is flowing
Thermodynamic Properties of a Fluid
1- Temperature T: (K)
Is a measure of internal energy level. Engineers usually use Kelven scale
for SI measuring rather than Celsius
T (K)= t (C)+ 273

𝛾 = 𝜌𝑔
Example:
7- Specific Gravity SG : (--)
For liquids: It is the ratio of a liquid density to the density of pure
water at 4 C.
For gases: it is the ratio of a gas density to the density of air at 20C.
𝜌
For liquids SG=
𝜌𝑤 4𝐶
𝜌
For gases SG=
𝜌𝑎𝑖𝑟 20𝐶
8- Equation of state (for ideal gases):
For all gases it is considered one equation to relate the thermodynamic
properties as follows:
𝑃 𝑉 = 𝑚𝑅𝑇 or 𝑃 = 𝜌𝑅𝑇
𝑅 = 𝐶𝑝 − 𝐶𝑣
The gas constant (R) for standard air at 20C. = 287 J/kg. K
Cp and Cv are gas specific heats.
The pressure P and temperature T must be ABSOLUT values.
Example:
9- Viscosity : (pa.s= kg/m.s)
Usually known as dynamic viscosity, absolute
viscosity or coefficient of viscosity.
It is a measure of the resistance of the fluid to
flow.
In this experiment, it is found that the shearing stress
applied on the upper plate is proportional to the
velocity gradient between fluid layers perpendicularly
to the fluid motion.
du/ dy
= (du/ dy) Newton’s law of
viscosity
A common unit for viscosity is poise = 0.1 Pa . s
For water = 0.001 pa.s = 1 centipois
For air = 1.8 E-5 pa.s
• All fluids those show linear relation for the shear stress with the velocity gradient
(= const.) are called Newtonian fluids. All other fluids those do not obey
Newton’s law are non-Newtonian fluids.
• The fluids of zero viscosity are called Nonviscous – or Ideal Fluids (= zero) .
However, substances of infinity or maximum viscosity are called solids.

10- Compressibility of a Fluid: Ev = N/m2
how compressible is the fluid?
Compressibility is the inverse of Bulk Modulus = 1/𝐸𝑣
𝑑𝑝
the Bulk modulus 𝐸𝑣 = − 𝑑𝑉ൗ =pa=(N/m2)
𝑉
𝑑𝑝
or 𝐸𝑣 = + 𝑑𝜌 =pa=(N/m2)

Water requires a pressure
