Fluid Mechanics is that branch of mechanics which deals with the behavior
of fluids at rest and in motion.

5. Viscosity of Fluids
It is the property which determines the amount of its resistance to a
shearing force. A perfect fluid would have no viscosity. The shear stress
in a viscous fluid is proportional to the time rate of strain. The
proportional factor for the viscous fluid is known as the dynamic or
absolute viscosity.

The surface tension of a fluid is the work that must be done to bring
enough molecules from inside the liquid to the surface to form a new

When the end of a small diameter tube is put into a reservoir of water,
the curve water surface occurs within the tube. The relatively great
attraction of the water molecules for the glass causes the water
surface to curve upward in the region of the glass wall. Then the
surface tension force acts around the circumference of the tube in the
direction shown. It is assumed that is equal to zero for water
against glass and

This is the pressure at which a liquid will boil. All liquids tend to
evaporate or vaporize, which they do by projecting molecules into the
space above their surfaces. If this is a confined space, the partial
pressure exerted by the molecules increases until the rate at which
molecules reenter the liquid is equal to the rate at which they leave.
For this equilibrium condition, we call the vapor pressure the
saturation pressure.
Molecular activity increases with increasing temperature and
decreasing pressure, and so the saturation pressure does the same. At
any given temperature, if the pressure on the liquid surface falls below
the saturation pressure, a rapid rate of evaporation results, known as
boiling. Thus we can refer to the saturation pressure as the boiling
pressure for a given temperature, and it is of practical importance for
liquids.
If boiling occurs in flowing liquids, vapor bubbles start growing in local
regions of very low pressure and then collapse in regions of higher
pressure downstream. This phenomenon is called cavitation.

Ideal Fluids
Newtonian Fluids
Non-Newtonian Fluids
Fluids for which shear is not directly proportional to the rate of strain.
Pressure is a normal stress, and hence has dimensions of force per unit
area.
In the English system of units, pressure is expressed as "psi" or
lbf/in2.
In the Metric system of units, pressure is expressed as "pascals"
or N/m2.
1 kPa = 103 N/m2
1 Mpa = 106 N/m2
1 bar = 105 N/m2
1 mb = 100 N/m2
Standard atmospheric pressure is 101.3 kPa (0.1013 MPa) or 14.69 psi.
Absolute pressure = gauge pressure + atmospheric pressure.
Pressure Terminology
There are three different kinds of pressure reported in the literature, and it is
important to know the terminology:
HYDROSTATIC PRESSURE
PRESSURE INSIDE PIPES AND VESSELS
Pressure results when a liquid is compacted into a volume. The
pressure inside vessels and pipes produce stresses and strains as it tries to
stretch the material. As an example of this is a pipe with flanged joints. The
pressure in the pipe tries to separate the flanges. The force is the product of
the pressure and the bore area.

PRESSURE HEAD
When
pressure head,
h=p / g
Pressure is often measured by using a column of liquid. Consider
a pipe carrying liquid at pressure p. If a small vertical pipe is attached to it,
the liquid will rise to a height h and at this height, the pressure at the foot
of the column is equal to the pressure in the pipe.

and
p2 .
p1= p2=gh
In the case of the barometer, the column is closed at the top so that
and
p2=0
is used as the liquid because it does not evaporate easily at the near total
vacuum on the top of the column.
