Concept of a Fluid - answer-Any liquid or gas, Generally any material that
cannot sustain shearing force when at rest and that undergoes a
continuous change in shape when subjected to stress.
Liquid Vs. Gas - answer-Liquid=Difficult to compress or Incompressible,
Gas=Easy to Compress or Compressible, it changes volume with pressure.
volume up=pressure down, volume down=pressure up.
Fluid Mechanics or Hydraulics - answer-Application of the laws of force and
motion to fluids.
Fluid Statics or Hydrostatics - answer-Study of fluid at rest. i.e. ∑f=0
Fluid Dynamics - answer-Study of fluids in motion. i.e. ∑f=ma
Fluid Kinematics - answer-Deals with response of fluids in motion without
concern in the actual forces necessary to produce the motion.
Characteristics of fluid - answer-- No definite shape of its own and takes
the shape of the container
- It offers no resistance to shear force and will continue to deform when
subjected to shear stress
, - Lacks the ability to resist deformation force
- Its shape will continue to deform as long as the force is applied
Dimension - answer-Used to describe basic concepts like mass, length,
time, temp and force.
Unit - answer-The means expressing the value of the dimension
quantitavely or numerically
Mass - answer-m-kilogram (kg)
Length - answer-l-meter (m)
time - answer-t-second (s)
Temperature - answer-T-Kelvin (K)
Electric Current - answer-I-Ampere (A)
Amount of light - answer-C-Candela (C)
Amount of Matter - answer-n or N- Mole(mol)
Physical Properties of Fluids - answer--Density (ρ)
-Specific Volume (v)
-Specific Gravity (sg)
