This document provides an introduction to fluid mechanics and fluid properties. It discusses:
1) Fluid mechanics is the study of fluids at rest and in motion, and is divided into fluid statics and fluid dynamics (kinematics and kinetics).
2) Key fluid properties include density, specific weight, specific volume, viscosity, compressibility, and surface tension. Equations for calculating these properties are presented.
3) Types of fluids include ideal, real, Newtonian, non-Newtonian, and plastic fluids. Types of flow include steady, unsteady, uniform, non-uniform, compressible, and incompressible flow.
