Fluids
Prepared by
PREETI MAURYA
What is fluid
• A fluid is a state of matter in which its molecules move freely.
• A fluid is a substance that continually flows under an applied shear stress.
Fluids can be classified as
Types of Fluid
Ideal Fluid
Real Fluid
Newtonian Fluid
Non-Newtonian Fluid
Compressible Fluid
Incompressible Fluid
Ideal Plastics fluid
Continued….
• Ideal fluid: A fluid, which is incompressible and 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 fluid: Real fluid can be defined as the fluid which deforms continuously for certain amount
of shear stress and it consists of viscosity. Example : Water, Air etc.
• 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.
• Incompressible fluid: A fluid, in which the density of fluid does not change which change in
external force or pressure, is known as incompressible fluid. All liquid are considered in this
category.
• Compressible fluid: A fluid, in which the density of fluid changes while change in external
force or pressure, is known as compressible fluid. All gases are considered in this category.
Introduction
• Viscosity of a polymer solution depends on concentration and size (i.e., molecular weight) of the
dissolved polymer.
• By measuring the solution viscosity we should be able to get an idea about molecular weight.
Viscosity techniques are very popular because they are experimentally simple.
• They are, however less accurate and the determined molecular weight, the viscosity average
molecular weight, is less precise.
• For example, Mv depends on a parameter which depends on the solvent used to measure the
viscosity.
What is Viscosity
• Viscosity is a measure of a fluid's resistance to flow. OR
• The viscosity of a fluid is a measure of its resistance to deformation at a given rate.
• Viscosity is a measure of the internal friction of a fluid.
i. Molasses is highly viscous
ii. Water is low viscous
Low Viscous
High Viscous

Formula of Viscosity :-
Units – Pa.s , mPa.s, Poise (P), kg·m−1·s−1
Shear Stress(τ) :- Shear stress is define as force per unit area OR Shear stress, force tending to cause
deformation of a material by slippage along a plane or planes parallel to the imposed stress.
Unit - N/m² or Pa
Fig. 2
Viscosity (η) = Shear Stress(τ) Shear Rate(ϒ)
Continued….
Shear Rate( ϒ) :- Shear rate is the measure of the speed at which the intermediate layers moves
with respect to each other.
Unit - Sec⁻¹.
Where, v = velocity and dx = relative distance of layers.
Types of Viscosity
a) Dynamic Viscosity
b) Kinematic Viscosity.
Factor affecting Polymer Viscosity
I. Temperature
II. Concentration
III. Molecular weight
IV. And shear rate.
ϒ = dv/dx
Newtonian Fluid
• A fluid, whose viscosity does not change with the rate of deformation of shear stain. OR
• A fluid which obeys Newson's law of viscosity is termed as Newtonian fluid. OR
• Fluid flow which the shear stress is linearly proportional to the shear rate. OR
• Fluid have a constant viscosity at a given temperature. For these fluid , the viscosity is
independent of the shear stress rate change.
• A shear diagram for Newtonian fluid is shown below. Note that the slope is constant.

Newton’s law viscosity
Where,
μ = Viscosity
τ = Shear stress (F/A)
du/dy = rate of shear deformation.
Examples – Water, Mineral oil, Gasoline, Alcohol, Ethyl alcohol, Hexane
Fig.- 5 Fig.- 6
τ = μ du/dy
Non – Newtonian Fluid
• When the ratio of shear stress to shear strain is variable or not constant. Other words, the
variation in shear rate and shear stress is not proportional. OR
• A fluid which does not obeys Newton's law of viscosity is termed as Non - Newtonian fluid.
• In reality most fluids are non-Newtonian, which means that their viscosity is dependent on shear
rate (Shear Thinning or Thickening) or the deformation history (Thixotropic fluids).
Examples – Plastics, Ketchup, Blood, Toothpaste, Yogurt.
Fig.- 7 Fig.- 8 Fig.- 9
Classification Non-Newtonian fluid
Non- Newtonian Fluid
Time Independent
• Pseudo plastics
• Dilatant
• Bingham plastics
Time Dependent
• Thixotropic
• Rheopectic
Time Independent Non-Newtonian fluid
Pseudo plastics(Shear Thinning) : Fluid displays a decreasing viscosity with an increasing
shear rate. This type of behaviour is called shear-thinning. OR
• A fluid whose apparent viscosity or consistency decreases instantaneously with an increase in
shear rate
• Examples : Plastics melts, Polymer solution, Printing ink blood etc.

Continued….
• Most polymer solution and melts exhibit shear thinning (Pseudoplastic), Whereas shear
thickening (Dilatant) behaviour is rarely observed.
• The observed shear thinning polymer melts and solutions is caused by disentanglement of
polymer chains during flow.
• Polymers with a sufficiently high molecular weight are always entangled and randomly oriented
when at rest.
• When sheared, however, they begin to disentangle and to align which causes the viscosity to
drop.
• The degree of disentanglement will depend on the shear rate.
• At sufficiently high shear rates the polymers will be completely disentangled and fully aligned.
• In this regime, the viscosity of the polymer melt or solution will be independent of the shear rate,
i.e. the polymer will behave like a Newtonian liquid again.
• The same is true for very low shear rates; the polymer chains move so slowly that entanglement
does not impede the shear flow. The viscosity at infinite slow shear is called zero shear rate
viscosity (η0).
Dilatant ( Shear Thickening)
• The rheological behaviour of dilatant (Shear thickening) fluid is exactly opposite to that of
pseudoplastic fluid, their viscosity increases with the rate of shear.
• Some liquids with dilatant behaviour are slurries, candy compounds, and corn-starch & water
mixtures.

Current and Future Applications of Dilatants
• Materials and Fluids that exhibit Non-Newtonian behaviour such as Dilatants offer a diverse range
of potential opportunities and future applications.
• Potential Applications of Dilatants:
• Shock absorption Systems
• Automotive Suspension - Magnetic particles suspended
• Impact Stress Cushioning - Sport / Athletics
• Accident damage and injury mitigation - Transport
• Impulse Distribution Systems
• Smart Body Armour
Bingham Plastic Fluid
• These fluids do not flow unless the stress applied exceeds a certain minimum value. Beyond a
minimum value of shear stress, a Bingham body shows a linear relationship between stress and
strain.
• Bingham plastic is a material that behaves as rigid body at low stresses but flows as a viscous fluid
at high stress.
• This behaviour is exhibited by slurries, suspensions of solids in liquids, paints, emulsions, foams,
blood, ketchup, tooth paste,etc.

Time Dependent Fluid
• The time dependant fluid are those fluids, which show either a decrease or increase in the
viscosity with time at a particular shear rate.
• If these fluid are subjected to a constant shear rate, the shear stress will either decrease or
increase.
• These fluids are classified as thixotropic ( if viscosity decreases with time ) and rheopectic ( if
viscosity increases with time ) respectively.
Thixotropic Fluid
• The apparent viscosity decrease with time .Result break down in the microstructure of the
material as shearing continues.
• When at a constant shear rate, the stress decreases over a period of time due to structure
breakdown until eventually it reaches a steady value, the product is said to be thixotropic.
Examples : Aged condensed milk, cream and ice cream mix, egg white, paint, iron oxide gels etc.
Rheopectic Fluid
• Rheopectic liquids increase in viscosity as stress over time increases OR .
• This essentially the opposite of thixotropic behaviour, in which the fluid viscosity increases with
time as it is sheared at a constant rate.
• Rheopectic fluid are rarely encountered. Both thixotropic and rheopectic may occur in
combination with any of the previously discussed flow behaviour, or only at certain shear rates.
Examples : Printer ink, gypsum paste.
