Density: Mass per unit volume = kg/m3
Specific volume:
It is defined as the volume of the fluid occupied by a
unit mass or volume per unit mass of fluid. (commonly applied
to gases )
= = ,
Specific Gravity:
- It is defined as the ratio of the Weight density (or
density) of a fluid to the Weight density (or density) of a
standard fluid.
For liquids the standard fluid taken is water and for
gases the standard liquid taken is air.
The Specific gravity is also called relative density. It is a
dimensionless quantity.
Example:
s.g. = ,
a.) = (s.g.)(H₂O ) = ( 0.001)(1000 kg/m3) = 1 kg/m3
b.) = = = g = 1 kg/m3)(9.81 m/s2) = 9.81 N/m3
VISCOSITY
liquids
as the temperature increases viscosity decreases.
gas
viscosity increases with an increase in temperature.
𝝉 𝜶
When the two layers of a fluid move one over the other at
different velocities, the viscosity together with relative velocities
causes a shear stress acting between the fluid layers.
The top layer causes a shear stress on the adjacent lower
layer while the lower layer causes a shear stress on the adjacent
top layer.
This shear stress is proportional to the rate of change of
velocity with respect to y.

IDEAL FLUID
may be defined as one in which there is no friction, its
viscosity is zero (0).The internal forces at any internal section are
always normal to the section even during motion. Such fluid does
not exist in reality.
NON-NEWTONIAN FLUIDS
all liquids and gases that do not behave according Newton’s
law of viscosity.

2.) A fluid with absolute viscosity of 0.98 N-s/m2 and kinematic
viscosity of 3 m2/s. Determine the density of fluid?
Solution:
ν = μ/ρ
ρ = 3.0612 kg/m3
3.) The velocity distribution of a viscous liquid (dynamic viscosity,
= 0.9 N-s / m2) flowing over a fixed plate is given by
= 0.68y – y2 (is velocity in m/s and y is the distance from the
plate in m).
What are the shear stresses at the plate surface and at y = 0.34 m
@ y = 0.34 m
= 0.68 – 2 (0.34) = 0
Shear stress
= ( ) = 0.9 (0) = 0
