What is Fluid?
Fluids are “ Substances that flow”
A fluid is a substance that continually deforms under an applied shear stress
Fluids State is commonly divided into the liquid and Gaseous States
It has no own shape, but Substances take the shape of the container
E.g. water, milk, air , steam

Differences Between Solid & Fluids
The molecules of a solid are usually closer to each other than those of a fluid
The attractive forces between the molecules of a solid
are so large that a solid tends to retain its shape
Solid is very compact and rigid.
The spacing and latitude of motion of molecules are
very small in solid, large in liquid and extremely
large in gas
Solid does not change its shape without a change in volume under the application of tangential forces.
A fluid is a substance that continually deforms under an applied shear stress
An ideal elastic solid deforms under load, and once the load is removed, it returns to its original state

Differences Between Gas & Liquid
Fluid may be either a gas or a liquid.
The molecules of a gas are much farther apart than a liquid’s.
Hence, a gas is very compressible, and when all external pressure is
removed, it tends to expand indefinitely.
A liquid is relatively incompressible.
Liquid may have a free surface, a surface from which all pressure is removed except its vapor pressure.
if all pressure, except its vapor pressure, is removed, the cohesion between molecules holds them together so
that the liquid does not expand indefinitely.

Fluid Mechanics
Fluids Mechanics is the branch of science that deals with the behavior of Fluid (Liquid or
Gases) at rest as well as in motion.
It deals with static, kinematics and dynamics aspect of fluids.
The study of fluids at rest is called Fluid Statics.
The study of fluid in motion , where pressure forces are not considered, is called fluid
kinematics.
The study of fluid in motion , where pressure forces are considered, is called fluid
Dynamics

Different Types Of Fluids
Basically, the fluids are classified into 5 types and these are-
1. Ideal fluid
2. Real fluid
3. Newtonian fluid
4. Non Newtonian fluid
5. Ideal Plastic Fluid

Ideal Fluid
A Fluids which is in compressed and have no viscosity falls in the category of ideal fluid
Ideal fluid is not found in actual practice but it is an imaginary fluid because all the fluid that
exist in the environment have some viscosity, there is no ideal fluid in reality.
Real Fluid
A Fluids which has at least some viscosity is called real fluid
Actually all the fluids existing or present in the environment are called real fluid.
Newtonian Fluid
If real fluid obeys Newton’s law of Viscosity (i.e. shear stress is directly proportional to the
shear strain)then it is known as the Newtonian Fluid
E.g. Water , Kerosene, air, mercury

Non-Newtonian Fluid
If real fluid does not obeys the Newton’s law of Viscosity (i.e. shear stress is
directly proportional to the shear strain)then it is known as the Non-Newtonian
Fluid
E.g. Paint, Toothpaste, polymer solution, blood
Ideal Plastic Fluid
A fluid having the value of shear stress more than the yield value and shear
stress is proportional to the shear strain (velocity gradient) is known as ideal
Plastic Fluid

Properties Of Fluid
(1) Density (or ) Mass Density( ):
Density or mass density of a fluid is defined as the ratio of the mass of a fluid to
its volume.
Thus, mass per unit volume of fluid is called Density
Unit : kg/m3
Temperature increase with density decrease
Pressure increase with density increase
Water =1000 kg/m3
Mercury =13600 Kg/m3,
Air =1.23 Kg/m3

Properties Of Fluid
(2) Specific Weight (or ) Weight Density( ):
Specific Weight or Weight Density of a fluid is defined as the ratio of the weight
of a fluid to its volume.
Thus, weight per unit volume of fluid is called Specific Weight or weight
Density

Unit : N/m3
Temperature increase with Specific Weight decrease
Pressure increase with Specific Weight increase
Water =9810N/m3
Mercury =132943 N/m3,
Air =12.07 N/m3

Properties Of Fluid
(3) Specific Volume( ):
Specific Volume of a fluid is defined as the volume of a fluid occupied by unit mass.
Thus, volume per unit mass of a fluid
,

(4) Specific Gravity or Relative Density ( ):
Specific gravity is defined as the ratio of density of fluid to density of standard fluid.

(5) Viscosity:
Viscosity is the property of fluid to resist the flow of fluid.
The cohesion and interaction between molecule , offers resistance to sheer deformation
Different Fluids deforms at different rates under the same shear stress
