Noor Aliza Ahmad , aliza@uthm.edu.my
Learning Outcome
Fluid Mechanics concerned with the static and dynamics of fluids
- both liquids and gases
• At the end of this chapter, students should be able

to:
– Define the basic properties of fluid mechanic
– Understand and analyze fluid flow problem
– List out and apply fluid basic equation

10
Introduction to Fluid Mechanics
• Mechanics is the oldest physical science that deals
with both stationary and moving bodies under the
influence of forces. The branch of mechanics that deals
with bodies at rest is called statics, while the branch
that deals with bodies in motion is called dynamics.
• Fluid Mechanics is defined as the science that deals

with the behavior of fluids at rest (fluid statics)or in
motion (fluid dynamics), and the interaction of fluids
with solids or other fluids at the boundaries

11
• Figure 1 illustrates a solid block resting on a
rigid plane and stressed by its own weight.
The solid sags into a static deflection, shown
as a highly exaggerated dashed line, resisting
shear without flow
Figure 1
12
• The liquid and gas at rest in Figure 2 require
the supporting walls to eliminate shear
stress.
Figure 2

13
• The liquid retains its volume and forms a free
surface in the container.
• If the walls are removed, shear develops in the

liquid and a big splash results.
• If the container is tilted, shear again develops,

waves form, and the free surface seeks a
horizontal configuration, pouring out over the lip
if necessary.

14
Fluid Engineering Application
Fluid engineering applications is enormous:
• breathing,
• blood flow,
• swimming,
• pumps,
• fans,
• turbines,
• airplanes, ….etc

1.1 Units
International System (S.I.):
Quantities Units
Mass kg
Distance m
Time s
Force N
Temperature C or K
S.I. units is written in small caps, e.g. kilogram (kg), meter (m), and
second (s).
If the unit is named after someone, the units start with a capital
letter, e.g. Watt (W), Pascal (P), and Newton (N).
An exception is for the unit of liter (L).

1.2 Properties of a Fluid
a) Density,  (ketumpatan)
m
  (kg / m 3 )
V
- Density is highly variable in gases and
increases nearly proportionally to the pressure
level.

17
• Density in liquids is nearly constant; the density of

water (about 1000 kg/m3) increases only 1 percent if
the pressure is increased by a factor of 220. Thus
most liquid flows are treated analytically as nearly
“incompressible.”
• Compare their densities at 20°C and 1 atm:

Mercury:  = 13,580 kg/m3
Hydrogen:  = 0.0838 kg/m3

18
The density of liquids and solids
depends more strongly on 0C Density (kg/m3)
temperature than it does on
pressure. At 1 atm, for example, 0 999.8
10 999.2
the density of water changes from 20 998.2
998 kg/m3 at 20°C to 975 kg/m3 at 30 995.7
75°C, a change of 2.3 percent, 40 992.3
which can still be neglected in 50 988.0
100 958.4
many engineering analyses.
Note : 1000 kg/m3 = 1.94 slugs/ft3

19
# Example 1.1 #:
Given Specific Gravity of Mercury is 13.55 (20 0C). Calculate
mercury’s density.
Solution:
merkuri
13.55 
1000 kg / m3
 merkuri  13.6x10 3 kg / m3

# Example 1.2 #:
Calculate the gasoline’s density at 200C. The mass and volume

are 60 kg dan 0.5 m3 respectively
Solution:
m
  (kg / m 3 )
V

  120 kg / m 3

21
b) Specific gravity, SG or Relative Density
Is the density of a substance is given relative to the

density of a well-known substance.

SG 
 H Oat 4 0
C
2
Relative density of a gas is the ratio of the gas density

to the density of hydrogen or air at certain pressure
and temperature.
Relative density is dimensionless.

22
# Example 1.3 #
Calculate the specific gravity/relativedensity for:

a. engine oil oil = 880 kg/m3,
b. seawater seawater = 1025 kg/m3, and
c. mercury mercury = 13570 kg/m3.
880
a. SGoil   0.88

1025
b. SGseawater   1.025
1000
13570
c. SGmercury   13.57
1000
This shows that mercury and seawater are denser than water.
c) specific weight, s (berat tentu)
Specific weight  is the weight per unit volume
of fluid at certain temperature and pressure.
s = g ( N/m3)
where g is gravity acceleration.
Unit of specific weight is N/m3.
Specific weight of water is 9.81 kN/m3 at 4C.

28
g) Viscosity,  (Kelikatan)
is a property that represents the internal resistance of a
fluid to motion or the “fluidity,” and that property is the
viscosity.
The force a flowing fluid

exerts on a body in the
flow direction is called the
drag force, and the
magnitude of this force
depends, in part, on
viscosity

29
h) Dynamic Viscosity,  -defined as shear force per unit area
Viscosity is a measure of the resistance of fluid against shear
stress or tensile stress (or simply, viscosity is a measure of
fluid friction).
Units: Ns/m2, kgm-1s-1,Poise P

Typically
Water =1.14 kgm-1s-1, Air =1.78 kgm-1s-1,
Mercury =1.552 kgm-1s-1, Paraffin Oil=1.9 kgm-1s-1,

30
Dynamic viscocities of
some fluids at 1 atm
and 200C (unless
otherwise stated)

31
Newtonian Fluids
Fluids for which the rate of deformation is proportional to
the shear stress are called Newtonian fluids
Water, air, gasoline, and oils (Newtonian fluids)

Blood and liquid plastics (non-Newtonian fluids)
In one-dimensional shear flow of Newtonian fluids, shear
stress can be expressed by the linear relationship
Shear stress:

32
Newtonian Fluids
Newtonian fluids - shear stress is linearly proportional to the rate of shear strain
(satisfy Newton Law of Viscosity)
- the line passes through origin
- e.g. water, air, kerosene and mercury
Universal solid
Shear stress  (N/m2) Real plastic
Universal fluid ( = 0)
Shear rate du/dy
(s1)
Non-newtonian fluids - paint, polymer solvent, mudflow, blood, etc.
Effect of Temperature on Viscosity
Liquid - the viscosity reduces with increasing temperature

- the cohesive forces between molecules reduces when temperature
increases
Gas - the viscosity increases with increasing temperature

- cohesive forces between molecules is negligible
- molecular momentum transfer increases that it increases the viscosity
of gas

i) Kinematic Viscosity, Kelikatan
kinematik, the ratio of dynamic
viscosity to density
Two common units of kinematic

viscosity are m2/s and stoke
(1 stoke 1 cm2/s 0.0001 m2/s). Dynamic viscosity, in general,
does not depend on pressure,
but kinematic viscosity does.
Typically
Water =1.14 x 10-6 , m2/s Air =1.46 x 10-5 m2/s ,
Mercury =1.145 x 10-4 m2/s , Paraffin Oil =2.375 x 10-3 m2/s

m/s in a 50 mm diameter cylinder filled with oil. If a 12 N of force is
required to maintain the speed of the rod, calculate:
i. the dynamic viscosity of the oil, and

ii. the kinematic viscosity of the oil if relative density of the oil is 0.92.

k) Surface Tension,s
• a drop of blood forms a hump on a

horizontal glass!
• a drop of mercury forms a near-perfect

sphere and can be rolled just like a
steel ball over a smooth surface!
• water droplets from rain or dew hang

from branches or leaves of trees!

- is a property of the surface of a fluid that allows it to resist
external force.
- due to cohesive forces between molecules.
- Unit of surface tension is force per unit length or energy per
unit area, i.e. N/m
Examples of surface tension values are:

Water and air = 0.073 N/m at 20oC
Water and air = 0.058 N/m at 100oC
Mercury and air = 0.1 N/m length
The cohesive forces between molecules below the surface are shared with all
neighboring atoms.
Those on the surface have no neighboring atoms above, and exhibit stronger
attractive forces upon their nearest neighbors on the surface. This enhancement
of the intermolecular attractive forces at the surface is called surface tension.

l. Capillary action
- occurs when one end of a capillary tube is immersed in a liquid.
All forces holding a liquid together are called cohesive forces.
The forces of attraction between a liquid and another surface are adhesive
forces.
Water rises in the capillary tube because
the adhesive forces between the water and
the glass are quite strong, sufficiently
strong to draw the liquid up against the
force of gravity.
For liquid mercury, the cohesive forces are

greater than the adhesive forces, so the
level of the liquid inside the tube is actually
depressed.
- contributes to ability of plants roots to take up water and dissolved

nutrients from the soil and transmit them up the stems, and the ability of
paper and cloth towels to absorb water.

where dp is the change in pressure causing a change in volume dV when
the original volume was V. The unit is the same as that of pressure, N/m2.
The negative sign indicates reduction in volume due to increasing pressure.
