Properties of Fluid
Introduction
Fluid mechanics is a physical science dealing with the
action of fluids at rest or in motion, and with applications and
Properties of Fluid fluids at rest, and fluid dynamics, concerned with fluids in
motion.

For complete wetting, as with water on clean glass,
the angle 𝜃 is 0o. Hence the formula becomes

Where:
ℎ = capillary rise or depression in m
𝛾 = unit weight in N/m3
𝑑 = diameter of the tube in m
𝜎 = surface tension in N/m

Capillarity Compressibility, 𝜷
Compressibility (also known as the coefficient of
compressibility) is the fractional change in the volume of a
fluid per unit change in pressure in a constant-temperature
process.
