1._What is fluid mechanics?

Fluid mechanics is the study of the movement of fluids (gases and liquids) as well as
the forces that cause them, applying the fundamental principles of general mechanics.

2._What is viscosity?

Viscosity is a magnitude that represents the resistance to flow or density of a fluid. A


higher viscosity, the fluid is thicker; and at lower viscosity, less thick.

3._ what are the properties of a fluid

Density
Viscosity
Pressure
Specific Weight
Specific Volume
Capillarity
Surface tension

4._What is the difference between liquid and gas?


Liquids flow and take the shape of their container but maintain a constant volume and
are incompressible.
Gas expand to fill the available volume, and are compressible

5._What types of fluid exist?


Ideal Fluid
Real Fluid
Newtonian Fluid
Non-Newtonian Fluid
Ideal Plastic Fluid
