Fluid Properties

Fluid Properties

1. Density, ρ

   • ρ=(mass/ volume)=m/V
   • Gives the ratio of mass o volume at a point.

2. Specific Weight

   • Ratio of weight to volume at a point.
   • SW= ρ*g

3. Specific Gravity , S or SG

   • Ratio of the density of material to the density of water at 4 degrees Celsius.
   • SG= density of material/ density of water=ρ/ρ (water)

4. Viscosity

   • Dynamic Viscosity, μ
   • Kinematic Viscosity, v

5. Vapor Pressure, Pv

   • Pressure at which the liquid phase and the vapor phase of a material will be in equilibrium.
