1. Ideal fluids
2. Real fluids
3. Newtonian fluids
4. Non-Newtonian fluids
5. Ideal plastic fluid.
Ideal fluids
A fluid, which is incompressible and is having no viscosity, is known as an ideal fluid. Ideal fluid is only an
imaginary fluid as all the fluids, which exist, have some viscosity.
Real fluids
A fluid, which possesses viscosity, is known as real fluid. All the fluids, in actual practice, are real fluids.
Newtonian fluids
A real fluid, in which the shear stress is directly proportional to the rate of shear strain (or velocity gradient), is
known as a Newtonian fluid.
Non-Newtonian fluids
A real fluid, in which the shear stress is not proportional to the rate of shear strain (or velocity gradient), known as a
Non-Newtonian fluid.
Ideal Plastic Fluid.
A fluid, in which shear stress is more than the yield value and shear stress is proportional to the rate of shear strain
(or velocity gradient), is known as ideal plastic fluid.

Types of fluids
Properties of fluid
Density or Mass Density.
Density or mass density of a fluid is defined as the ratio of the mass of a fluid to its volume. Thus, mass per
unit volume of a fluid is called density. It is denoted by the symbol  (rho). The unit of mass density in SI unit is kg
per cubic metre, i.e., kg/m3. The density of liquids may be considered as constant while that of gases changes with
the variation of pressure and temperature.
Mathematically, mass density is written as
Mass of fluid m
ρ= =
Volume of fluid V
The value of density of water is 1gm/cm3 ( 1 g/cc) or 1000 kg/m3.

Specific Weight or Weight Density.
Specific Weight or Weight Density of a fluid is the ratio between the weight of a fluid to its volume. Thus
weight per unit volume of a fluid is called weight density and it is denoted by the symbol w.

The value of specific weight or weight density (w) for water is 9.81  1000 N/m3
Specific Volume
Specific Volume of a fluid is defined as the volume of a fluid occupied by a unit mass or volume per unit mass of a
fluid is called specific volume.
Volume of fluid V 1
SpecificVolume=v= = =
Mass of fluid m ρ
The specific volume is the reciprocal of mass density. It is expressed in m3/kg
Specific Gravity
Specific Gravity is defined as the ratio of the weight density (or density) of a fluid to the weight density (or
density) of a standard fluid.
For liquids, the standard fluid taken as water.

For gases, the standard fluid taken air.

S(Liquids)=
Weight density of water
Weight density of gas

S(Gases)=
Weight density of air
So.,
Weight density of liquid = S  Weight density of water
= S  9.81  1000 N/m3
Density of liquid = S  Density of water

= S  1000 kg/m3
Dynamic Viscosity (Viscosity)
Viscosity relation
Viscosity is defined as the property of a fluid, which offers resistance to the movement of one layer of fluid
over another adjacent layer of the fluid. When two layers of a fluid, a distance 'dy' apart, move one over the other at
different velocities, say u and u + du as shown in Figure, the viscosity together with relative velocity causes a shear
stress acting between the fluid layers.

The top layer causes a shear stress on the adjacent lower layer while the lower layer causes a shear stress on
the adjacent top layer. This shear stress is proportional to the rate of change of velocity with respect to y. It is
denoted by symbol 

Surface Tension
The surface tension of a liquid is its property, which enables it to resist tensile stress. It is due to the
cohesion between the molecules at the surface of a liquid.
Surface tension is defined as the tensile force acting on the surface of a liquid in contact with a gas or on the
surface between two immiscible liquids such that the contact surface behaves like a membrane under tension.
It is denoted by a Greek letter σ (sigma)
The phenomenon of surface tension is explained by figure as shown. Consider three molecules A, B, C of a liquid in
a mass of liquid.
Surface tension
The molecule A is attracted in all directions equally by the surrounding molecules of the liquid. Thus the resultant
force acting on the molecule A is zero.
However, the molecule B, which is situated near the free surface, is acted upon by upward and downward forces,
which are unbalanced. Thus, a net resultant force on molecule B is acting in the downward direction.
The molecule C, situated on the free surface of liquid, does experience a resultant downward force.
All the molecules on the free surface experience a downward force. Thus, the free surface of the liquid acts like a
very thin film liquid act as though it is an elastic membrane under tension.
Capillarity

Capillarity
Capillarity is defined as a phenomenon of rise or fall of liquid surface in a small tube relative to the adjacent
general level of liquid when the tube is held vertically in the liquid.
The rise of the liquid surface is known as capillary rise while the fall of the liquid surface is known as
capillary depression.
It is expressed in terms of cm or mm of liquid. Its value depends upon the specific weight of the liquid,
diameter of the tube and surface tension of the liquid.
Compressibility
Compressibility is the reciprocal of the Bulk Modulus of elasticity (K).
The Bulk modulus is ratio between the increases in pressure to the volumetric strain.
Compressibility
Consider a cylinder fitted with a piston as shown in figure

Let V = Volume of fluid enclosed in the cylinder
p = Pressure of the fluid when volume is V
Let Pressure increased to p + dp

Volume decreased V – dV
So Change in pressure = dp
Change in volume = – dV

Fluid Pressure
Consider a small area dA in large mass of fluid. If the fluid is stationary, then the force exerted by the
surrounding fluid on the area dA will always be perpendicular to the surface dA. Let dF is the force dF acting on the
dF
area dA in the normal direction. Then the ratio of is known as the intensity of pressure or simply pressure and
dA
this ratio is represented by p. Hence mathematically the pressure at a point in a fluid at rest is
dF
p=
dA
If the force (F) is uniformly distributed over the area (A), then pressure at any point is given by
F Force
p= =
A Area
Force or pressure force, F= p × A
The units of pressure are :
(i) kgf/m and kgf/cm in MKS units,
(ii) Newton/m or N/m and N/mm in SI units.
N/m is known as Pascal and is represented by Pa.

Other commonly used units of pressure are :
1 kPa = kilo Pascal = 1000 N/m2
1 bar = 100 kPa = 105 N/m2.
Pressure Head
Pressure Head
Consider a vessel containing some liquid as shown in Figure. We know that the liquid will exert pressure on
all sides as well as bottom of the vessel. Now let a bottomless cylinder be made to stand in the liquid as shown in
the figure.
Let
w = Specific weight of the liquid,

h = Height of liquid in the cylinder, and

A = Area of the cylinder base.
A little consideration will show, that there will be some pressure on the cylinder base due to weight of the liquid in
it.
Therefore pressure
Weight of theliquid ∈the cylinder whA
p= = =wh →→ →→ p=wh
Area of the cylinder base A
This equation shows that the intensity of pressure at any point, in a liquid, is proportional to its depth, from
the surface (as w is constant for the given liquid). It is thus obvious, that the pressure can be expressed in either of
the following two ways :
1. As a force per unit area i.e., N/m2, kN/m2 etc.
2. As a height of the equivalent liquid column.
Pressure Intensity
Pressure intensity is defined as the pressure per unit area of the fluid while the fluid in rest.
Since the fluid exerts equal pressure on surrounding, irrespective of contact surface
According to Pascal’s law, The intensity of pressure at any point in a fluid at rest, is the same in all directions.
Atmospheric Pressure
At sea level, the pressure exerted by the column of air of 1(One) square meter cross sectional area and of
height equal to that of the atmosphere is 101.3kN or 101.3 kPa.
It also expressed as
10.33 meters of water, in terms of equivalent water column
760 mm of mercury in terms of equivalent mercury column
It is denoted by patm ∨ patmospheric
Gauge pressure
It is defined as the pressure which is measured with the help of a pressure measuring instrument, in which
the atmospheric pressure is taken as datum. Normally the atmospheric pressure on the scale is marked as zero.
Generally, this pressure above the atmospheric pressure.
It is denoted by p guage
Vacuum Pressure
It is defined as the pressure which is measured with the help of a pressure measuring instrument, in which the
atmospheric pressure is taken as datum. Normally the atmospheric pressure on the scale is marked as zero.
Generally, this pressure below the atmospheric pressure.
It is denoted by pvac ∨ p vacuum
Absolute Pressure
It is the pressure equal to the algebraic sum of atmospheric and gauge pressure ( if above the atmospheric) or
algebraic sum of atmospheric and vacuum pressure ( if below the atmospheric pressure).
p|¿|=p atm + pgauge ¿

Or
p|¿|=p atm − pv ac ¿
Actually absolute pressure measured from absolute zero pressure as shown in figure.
Different types of Pressure

From the figure
p|¿|=p + p ¿
atm gauge
p|¿|=p atm − pvacuum ¿
pvacuum =p atm −p|¿|¿

p gauge =p|¿|− p ¿ and so on atm
Measurement of Pressure
The principle measurement of the pressure of a fluid if following two types
1. By balancing the liquid column (whose pressure to be found out) by the same or another column. Normally
these are called as Manometers.
2. By balancing the liquid column (whose pressure to be found out) by the spring or dead weight. Normally
these are called as Mechanical Gauges.
Bourdon’s tube pressure gauge

The pressure above or below the atmospheric pressure, may be easily measured with the help of a Bourdon’s
tube pressure gauge. A Bourdon’s tube pressure gauge, in its simplest form consists of an elliptical tube ABC, bent
into an arc of a circle as shown in figure. This bent-up tube is called Bourdon’s tube.
When the gauge tube is connected to the fluid (whose pressure is required to be found out) at C, the fluid under
pressure flows into the tube. The Bourdon's tube, as a result of the increased pressure, tends to straighten itself.
Since the tube is encased in a circular cover, therefore it tends to become circular instead of straight. With the help
of a simple pinion and sector arrangement, the elastic deformation of the Bourdon's tube rotates the pointer. This
pointer moves over a calibrated scale, which directly gives the pressure as shown in Figure. A Bourdon's tube
pressure gauge is generally used for measuring high pressures.

Bourdon’s tube pressure gauge
Diaphragm Pressure Gauge

The Pressure, above or below the atmospheric pressure, is also found out with the help of diaphragm pressure
gauge. A diaphragm pressure gauge, in its simplest form, consists of a corrugated diaphragm as shown in Figure.
When the gauge is connected to the fluid (whose pressure is required to be found out) at C, the fluid under
pressure causes some deformation of the diaphragm. With the help of some pinion arrangement, the elastic
deformation of the diaphragm rotates the pointer. This pointer moves over a calibrated scale, which directly gives
the pressure as shown in Figure. A diaphragm pressure gauge is, generally, used to measure relatively low
pressures.
