1.1 Introduction
• Fluid mechanics is the discipline within the broad field of applied mechanics
that is concerned with the behavior of liquids and gases at rest or in
motion.
• It covers a vast array of phenomena that occur in nature, in biology, and in
numerous engineered, invented, or manufactured situations.
• The flow conditions is strongly dependent on the value of the numerous
parameters that describe fluid flow such as: (1) the physical size of the flow, ;
(2) the speed of the flow, V; and (3) the pressure, p.

Ideal Gas Law
The equation of state
for an ideal gas
where p is the absolute pressure, is the density, T is the
absolute temperature, and R is a gas constant.

1.4. Viscosity
• Viscosity: A property that represents the internal resistance of a fluid to motion or the fluidity
• The viscosity of a fluid is a measure of its resistance to deformation.
• Viscosity is due to the internal frictional for that develops between different layers of fluids as
they are forced to move relative to each other.
• Viscosity measures a fluids ability to resist shear stress
The shearing stress and rate of shearing strain can be related with a relationship of the form
where is absolute viscosity, dynamic viscosity, or simply the viscosity of the fluid
HCMUT DEPARTMENT OF AEROSPACE ENGINEERING 16
1.4. Viscosity Fluids for which the shearing stress is linearly related to the
rate of shearing strain are designated as Newtonian fluids.
Fluids for which the shearing stress is not linearly related to the
rate of shearing strain are designated as non-Newtonian fluids.
The slope of the shearing stress versus rate of shearing strain
graph is denoted as the apparent viscosity .
For Newtonian fluids the apparent viscosity is the same as the
viscosity and is independent of shear rate.
Kinematic viscosity is defined as the ratio of the absolute
viscosity to the fluid density

1.5. Compressibility of Fluids
• Incompressibility: Density is constant.
• Compressibility: Density changes with time.
A property that is commonly used to characterize
compressibility is the bulk modulus, defined as:
where dp is the differential change in pressure needed to create a differential change
in volume, of a volume, .
Units of bulk modulus are lb/in2 (psi) or N/m2 (Pa).
Large values for the bulk modulus indicate that the fluid is relatively incompressible.

1.5. Compressibility of Fluids
Compression and Expansion of Gases
Isothermal process (Đẳng nhiệt): The compression or expansion
takes place under constant temperature conditions.
Isentropic process (Đoạn nhiệt): The compression or expansion
is frictionless and no heat is exchanged with the surroundings.
k is the ratio of the specific heat at constant
pressure , to the specific heat at constant volume
The two specific heats are related to the gas constant, R

Speed of Sound
The velocity at which small disturbances
propagate in a fluid is called the speed of sound.
Since the disturbance is small, there is negligible heat
transfer and the process is assumed to be isentropic.
For the ideal gas law

1.6. Surface The intensity of the molecular attraction per unit length along any line in the surface
is called the surface tension.
tension
The dimensions of surface tension are MT-2 with BG units of lb/ft and SI units of N/m
The magnitude of the capillary rise in a circular tube can be determined from a force
balance on the cylindrical liquid column of height h in the tube
The weight of the liquid column is approximately
The vertical component of the surface tension force
Equating the vertical component of the surface tension force to the weight gives
