 What are the properties and types of fluid?

PROPERTIES OF FLUID
1.Kinematic properties
- properties related to fluid motion, like velocity and acceleration.
2.Thermodynamic properties
- properties which describe the thermodynamic state of a fluid. These include
temperature, pressure, density, internal energy, specific entropy, specific enthalpy, etc.
3.Miscellaneous properties
- properties which do not fall into either of the above categorie
TYPES OF FLUID
1. Ideal Fluid
-An ideal fluid is incompressible and it is an imaginary fluid that doesn’t exist in reality.
Also, it doesn’t have viscosity.
2. Ideal plastic Fluid
-When the shear stress becomes proportional to the velocity gradient and more than
the yield value, the fluid is said to be the ideal plastic fluid.
3. Real Fluid
-Fluids having viscosity are real fluids.
4. Newtonian Fluid
-A fluid obeying Newton’s law of viscosity is known as a Newtonian fluid.
5. Non-Newtonian Fluid
-A fluid not obeying Newton’s law of viscosity is said to be a Non-Newtonian fluid.

6. Incompressible Fluid
-When the density of the fluid remains invariant with the application of external force, it
is said to be incompressible fluid.

7. Compressible Fluid
When the density of the fluid varies with the application of external force, it is a
compressible fluid.
