1 CHAPTER Properties of Fluids INTRODUCTION A fluid can be defined as a substance which deforms or yields continuously when shear stress is applied to it, no matter how small it is. Fluids can be subdivided into liquids and gases. Liquids occupy a certain volume and have a free surface. Gases have a tendency to expand and fill the container in which they are kept; they do not have a free surface. Gases, when subjected to normal stress change their volume considerably. Liquids can be compressed to a small extent. Solids are least compressible. Solids when subjected to shear stress deform until internal resistance to deformation equals the externally applied stress. Some of the examples of fluids are water, air, hydrogen gas, oils, paint, blood, glycerine, brine, honey, etc. In this book SI system (Systeme Internationale d unites) of units is adopted, in which the following are the units of basic quantities that are used in fluid mechanics: Length metre (m) Mass kilogramme (kg) Time second (s) Thermodynamic temperature kelvin (K) Temperature celsius ( C) A unit of force is newton (N) which is the force that produces 1 m/s acceleration is a mass of 1 kg. Unit of work is joule (J) which is the work done when 1.0 N force acts through a distance of 1.0 m. Unit of power is watt (W) which is the power necessary for 1 J of work in 1 s. 1J 1Nm 1 W = = 1s 1s Unit of frequency is hertz (H) having dimension of s MASS DENSITY, SPECIFIC WEIGHT, SPECIFIC VOLUME, RELATIVE DENSITY, PRESSURE Mass density, ρ (Rho) is the mass per unit volume;

The atmosphere can be broadly divided into the following four regions: Troposphere up to 11 km above mean sea level. Stratosphere 11 km to km above msl. Mesosphere km to 76 km above msl. Ionosphere Beyond 76 km above msl. The pressure of the atmosphere always decreases with the increase in altitude. The temperature in troposphere decreases at the rate of 6.5 C per km; this is known as the lapse rate. The temperature in stratosphere remains constant at 16.5 K i.e C. In mesosphere the temperature first rises linearly to 50 K at 50 km, remains constant at 50 K up to 60 km, and then decreases linearly to 40 K at 76 km. It remains constant at 40 K up to 84 km and then rises with increase in elevation in the ionosphere. In troposphere, which is of interest to us, the pressure, density and temperature vary as follows ( p p ) = ( T T ) ar ( ) ( ) Ê Á -1 ˆ Ë a rr = TT R 0 0 T = T0 -az where p 0, ρ 0 and T 0 are the pressure, density and temperature (in K) at sea level and p, ρ, and T are the corresponding quantities at elevation Z; α is the lapse rate.
