What is a fluid?
• Distinction between solid and fluid?
– Layman: A solid is hard and not easily deformed,
whereas a fluid is soft and is easily deformed
– Science student: A solid has densely spaced
molecules with large intermolecular forces that allow
to maintain its shape and not be easily deformed. In
liquid the molecules are spaced farther apart, the
intermolecular forces are smaller than for solids, and
the molecules have more freedom of movement
• A fluid is defined as a substance that deforms
continuously when acted on by a shearing stress of
any magnitude
18
ME F212 Fluid Mechanics
Fluid as a Continuum
• Molecules are widely spaced in
the gas phase. However, we
can disregard the molecular
nature of a substance.
• View it as a continuous,
homogeneous matter with no
holes, that is, a continuum.
• This allows us to treat
properties as smoothly varying
quantities.
• Continuum is valid as long as
size of the system is large in
comparison to distance
between molecules.

Mean Free Path
It is the average distance covered by a moving particle
(such as an atom, a molecule, a photon) between
successive impacts (collisions) which modify its
direction or energy or other particle properties.

Dimensions and Units
• A dimension is a measure of any physical
quantity (without numerical values) .
• A unit is a way to assign a number or
measurement to that dimension.
• Basic dimensions include: Mass M, length L,
time T, and temperature θ or Force F, length L,
time T, and temperature θ.
• Unit systems include English system and the
metric SI (International System).
• Dimensional homogeneity is a valuable tool in
checking for errors. Make sure every term in an
equation has the same units.

Compressibility of Fluids: Speed of Sound
A consequence of the compressibility of fluids is that
small disturbances introduced at a point propagate at a
finite velocity. Pressure disturbances in the fluid
propagate as sound, and their velocity is known as the

Vapor Pressure: The Microscopic View
• When the rate of condensation of the gas becomes
equal to the rate of evaporation of the liquid, the
amount of gas and liquid no longer changes.
• The gas in the container is in equilibrium with the
liquid. Then the vapour is said to be saturated.
• The pressure exerted by the gas on the liquid
surface in equilibrium with a liquid in a closed
container at a given temperature is called the vapor
pressure.

• 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.
• A liquid fuel injected into an engine forms a mist of
spherical droplets.

In these and other observances, liquid droplets
behave like small spherical balloons filled with
liquid, and the surface of the liquid acts like a
stretched elastic membrane under tension.

Surface Tension: Capillary Effect
The rise or fall of a liquid in a small-diameter tube
inserted into the liquid is called as capillary effect . It is
the consequence of surface tension. The curved free
surface of a liquid in the tube is called the meniscus.

Cohesion
The strength of
capillary effect is
quantified by the
contact angle ϕ,
defined as the angle
that the tangent to
the liquid surface
makes with the solid
surface at the point
of contact.

Capillary Effect : A Microscopic View
• Cohesive forces are the forces between like
molecules, such as water and water and adhesive
force are the forces between unlike molecules such
as water and glass.
• The liquid molecules at the solid-liquid interface are
subjected to both cohesive forces by other liquid
molecules and adhesive forces by the molecules of
the solid.
• The relative magnitudes of these forces determine
whether a liquid wets a solid surface or not. Thus
water tends to rise along the glass surface and the
opposite occurs for mercury.
71
ME F212 Fluid Mechanics
What is Capillary Action?
Capillary action occurs because liquid molecules
bond each other strongly due to forces of cohesion
and adhesion where liquid molecules are attracted and
stick to other substances such as glass or paper.
Adhesion of liquid to the surface of a material will
cause an upward force on the liquid. The surface
tension acts to hold the surface intact. Capillary action
occurs when the adhesion to the surface material is
stronger than the cohesive forces between the liquid
molecules. The height to which capillary action will
take in liquid is limited by surface tension and gravity.
72
ME F212 Fluid Mechanics
What is Capillary Action?
In the case of a glass tube inserted in water with
openings at both ends, as the edges of the tube are
brought closer together, such as in a very narrow tube,
the liquid will be drawn upward in the tube. The more
narrow the tube, the greater the rise of the liquid.
Greater surface tension and increased ratio of
adhesion to cohesion also result in greater rise.
73

force caused by surface tension.
