Properties of FluidsSlide2
Fluids
A fluid is anything that flows: liquids and gases
One
common characteristic is that fluids have no fixed shape and are easily deformed: take the shape of their containers.Slide3
Density
The density of a substance is the quantity of matter contained in a unit volume of the substance. Slide4
Temperature
It is the property that determines the degree of hotness or coldness or the level of heat intensity of a fluid. Temperature is measured by using temperature scales.There are 3 commonly used temperature scales. They are
Celsius (or centigrade) scale
Fahrenheit scale
Kelvin scale (or absolute temperature scale)Slide5
Pressure
Pressure of a fluid is the force per unit area of the fluid. In other words, it is the ratio of force on a fluid to the area of the fluid held perpendicular to the direction of the force.
Pressure is denoted by the letter ‘P’. Its unit is N/m2.Slide6
KMT & Fluid Pressure
The Link Between
P
(Pressure) and
n
(The amount of the substance)
The pressure of a gas results from collisions between the gas particles and the walls of the container. Each time a gas particle hits the wall, it exerts a force on the wall. An increase in the number of gas particles in the container increases the frequency of collisions with the walls and therefore the pressure of the gas.Slide7
Viscosity
Viscosity, m, is the property of a fluid, due to cohesion and interaction between molecules, which offers resistance to sheer deformation. Different fluids deform at different rates under the same shear stress. Fluid with a high viscosity such as syrup, deforms more slowly than fluid with a low viscosity such as water. What does that mean? It means that viscosity is the measure of how capable it is of flowing.
In
a liquid, viscosity decreases with increase in temperature. In a gas, viscosity increases with increase in temperature
.
Viscosity
is also known as the resistance to flow. Slide8Slide9
Newtonian Fluids
Many people have heard of Sir Isaac Newton. He is famous for developing many scientific theories in mathematics and physics. Newton described how ‘normal’ liquids or fluids behave, and he observed that they have a constant
viscosity
(flow). This means that their flow behaviour or viscosity only changes with changes in
temperature
or
pressure
. For example, water freezes and turns into a solid at 0˚C and turns into a gas at 100˚C. Within this temperature range, water behaves like a ‘normal’ liquid with constant viscosity.
Typically, liquids take on the shape of the container they are poured into. We call these ‘normal liquids’ Newtonian fluids
.
Some
examples of Newtonian fluids include water, air, motor oil, and organic solvents. For those fluids viscosity is only dependent on temperature.Slide10
Newtonian Fluids contd.
Newtonian fluids are named after Sir
Issac
Newton (1642 - 1726) who described the flow behavior of fluids with a simple linear relation between shear stress [mPa] and shear rate [1/s]. This relationship is now known as Newton's Law of Viscosity, where the proportionality constant η is the viscosity [
mPa-s] of the fluid:Slide11
Shear Stress & Shear Rate
Shear
stress
is defined as a force per unit area, acting parallel to an infinitesimal surface element.
Shear stress is primarily caused by friction between
fluid particles, due to
fluid
viscosity
.
Shear rate
is
defined
is
the
rate
at which a progressive
shearing
deformation is applied to some material
. The rate of the change
in a material's volume in response to stress.
Each unique material has its own behavior when subjected to flow, deformation or
stress
. Depending on their viscosity behavior as a function of
shear
rate
and
stress
,
fluids
are characterized as Newtonian or non-Newtonian.Slide12
Non Newtonian Fluids
But some fluids don’t follow this rule. We call these ‘strange liquids’
non-Newtonian
fluids
.
Non-Newtonian
fluids change their viscosity or flow behaviour under stress. If you apply a force to such fluids (say you hit, shake or jump on them), the sudden application of stress can cause them to get thicker and act like a solid, or in some cases it results in the opposite behaviour and they may get runnier than they were before. Remove the stress (let them sit still or only move them slowly) and they will return to their earlier state
.Slide13
Non Newtonian Fluids contd.
Say you want to get some
ketchup
out of the bottle. You know there is some in there, but when you turn the bottle upside down, nothing comes out. So what do you do? You shake or hit the bottle. This causes the
ketchup
to become more liquid and you can easily squirt some out. In this case, the
ketchup’s viscosity
decreases and it gets runnier with applied stress.Slide14
Types of Non-Newtonian Fluids
Type of behaviour
Description
Example
Thixotropic
Viscosity decreases with stress over time
Honey – keep stirring, and solid honey becomes liquid
Rheopectic
Viscosity increases with stress over time
Cream – the longer you whip it the thicker it gets
Shear thinning
Viscosity decreases with increased stress
Tomato sauce
Dilatant or shear thickening
Viscosity increases with increased stress
OobleckSlide15
Oobleck - extra credit option
Oobleck is a mixture of cornflour and water (similar to uncooked custard) named after a substance in a Dr Seuss book. This liquid is a runny goo until you apply stress to it, and then it suddenly acts like a solid. You can hit a bowlful with a hammer, and instead of splashing everywhere, the particles lock together. You can roll it into a solid ball in your hand, but if you stop moving it, it reverts to liquid and oozes out through your fingers. In this case, the oobleck’s viscosity or resistance to flow increases with applied stress.

Specific Volume
Specific volume is the volume of a fluid (V) occupied per unit mass (m). It is the reciprocal of density.
Specific volume is denoted by the symbol ‘v’. Its unit is m3/kg.Slide18
Specific Weight
Specific weight is the weight possessed by unit volume of a fluid. It is denoted by ‘w’. Its unit is N/m3.
Specific weight varies from place to place due to the change of acceleration due to gravity (g).Slide19
Specific Gravity
Specific gravity is the ratio of specific weight of the given fluid to the specific weight of standard fluid. It is denoted by the letter ‘S’. It has no unit.
