The Microscopic point of view and the fluid as a continuum
Fluid : Composed of molecules in constant motion and
collision.
Mean free path : The average distance travelled of a
molecule before its collision.
E.g. Number of O2 molecules in 1mm3 volume = 3  1016
Mean free path of oxygen molecules at 1 atm pressure
and 20o C temperature = 6.3  10-8 m
Mean free path  200  diameter of the oxygen molecule
Let us examine the fluid density, ratio between the mass
m and its volume V
 =
𝛿𝑚
𝛿𝑉
As sampling volume V is very small, random
molecular motion dominates.
 varies considerably due to
microscopic uncertainty as shown
in the Figure
10-9 mm3
Macroscopic uncertainty :
If sampling volume V is too large, there is density variation within the volume.
Then. the average density () must differ from the actual density at the centre of the sampling volume.
It is caused by spatial variation of the density. This is called Macroscopic Uncertainty.
That’s why, the sampling volume (V*)  not too large nor too tiny and must contain around million molecules.
the density at a point in space in defined as
 = lim
𝑉→𝑉∗
𝑚
𝑉
  can be defined as a continuous and continuously differentiate function
 = (x, y, z, t)
Then,
Pressure p = p(x, y, z, t), u = u(x, y, z, t), v = v(x, y, z, t), w = w(x, y, z, t)
Velocity Vector 𝑉 = u Ƹ
𝑖 + v Ƹ
𝑗 + w෠
𝑘
Non Validation : Rarefied gases (where pressure close to zero), microfluidic applications, the flow devices at the
micro and nanoscales, the continuum hypothesis does not valid.
Density, Specific Volume,Specific Gravity and Specific weight–
Density is defined as mass per unit volume
 =
𝑚
𝑉
(kg/m3)
Specific Volume is defined as volume per unit mass
 =
𝑉
𝑚
=
1

(m3/kg)
Specific Gravity is the ratio of density of substance to density of
well known substance ( water considered here)
SG =
𝜌
𝜌𝑤𝑎𝑡𝑒𝑟
Specific Weight is the weight of unit volume of a substance
 = g (N/m3)
Weight of a fluid (weight of air in a room) = gv (volume of the room)
Weight of the total fluid column = σ𝑖=1
𝑛
𝜌i g Vi
Newton’s law of viscosity :
Laminar flow (well ordered parallel flow) between
plates.
Microscopic Analysis :
Layer A, tending to reduce the velocity due to the
molecular mass and momentum flux exchange
whereas Layer B due to the exchange, tending to
increase the velocity for attending the equilibrium.
Thus, Shear stress, 𝜏, developed at the interface of
element (A) and element (B).
Experimentally established, the shear stress,𝜏, is
direct proportional to the velocity gradient (
𝜕v
𝜕𝑥
)
𝜏 α
𝑑𝑣
𝑑𝑥
 𝜏 = μ
𝑑𝑣
𝑑𝑥
Where μ is coefficient of viscosity. The concept
is similar to frictional resistance in motion of
solid objects.
1 poise = 1g/cm.s in CGS system
Microscopic point of view
Let us consider a fluid element (ABCD) subjected to contact shear force. After time t, the element (ABCD) has
gone under deformation to the new shape (EBFC). The shear deformation () can be approximated as
 =
𝑉∆𝑡
𝑙
or
𝜕
𝜕𝑡

𝑉

……………………....1
As approximation of linear velocity distribution
𝑢
𝑦

𝑙

𝑑𝑢
𝑑𝑦

𝑉
𝑙
………………………. 2
Then the shear rate is
𝜕
𝜕𝑡

𝑑𝑢
𝑑𝑦
Newton’s law of viscosity, Shear stress  shear strain rate
𝜏 α
𝜕
𝜕𝑡
or 𝜏 α
𝑑𝑢
𝑑𝑦
 𝜏 = μ
𝑑𝑢
𝑑𝑦
Effect of temperature and pressure variation on viscosity
For liquids,
Change of pressure -> very nominal change in μ.
Increase of temperature ≈ Reducing inter molecular forces  Decrease trend of μ.
For gases,
Change of pressure ≈ very nominal change in μ.
Increase of temperature  Increase of random motion of molecule  Increase trend of μ.
The Sutherland correlation (from the US Standard Atmosphere)
μ =
𝑎𝑇 ൗ
1
2
1+𝑏𝑇
for gases
μ = 𝑎10b∕ T−c for liquids
where,
T is absolute temperature.
a, b and c are experimentally estimated constants.
Variation of 𝑪𝒐𝒆𝒇𝒇𝒊𝒄𝒆𝒏𝒕 𝒐𝒇 𝒗𝒊𝒔𝒄𝒐𝒔𝒊𝒕𝒚 𝛍
𝜏 = μ
𝑑𝑢
𝑑𝑦
If
𝑑𝑢
𝑑𝑦
= 1  𝜏 = μ
For Non- Newtonian fluids, apparent viscosity (μ), the slope at the
particular deformation rate is used.
Increase of μ with increase of “deformation rate”  Shear thickening
fluid (Dilatant).
E.g. solutions with suspended starch or sand.
Decrease of μ, with increase of deformation rate -> shear thinning fluids,
Pseudoplastic.
E.g. paints, polymer solution etc.
Bingham plastic, resist a finite shear stress and then deform continuously
where the shear stress exceeds the yield stress
E.g. tooth paste.
Surface Tension
At the interface of liquid and gas, net force due to imbalance of cohesive ( like
molecules) and adhesive forces ( unlike molecules) as shown in the Figure
• The interface surface of the liquid acts like a stretched elastic membrane
under tension
• The pulling force that causes this tension acts parallel to the surface and is
due to the attractive forces between the molecules of the liquid.
• The magnitude of this force per unit length is called surface tension
Unit: N/m
Dimension: MT -2
Typical values: Water 0.074 N/m at 20oC with air
surface tension decreases with the liquid temperature because intermolecular
cohesive forces decreases
Surface Tension
Pressure difference at the interface
consider a small spherical droplet of a fluid at rest.
𝑃𝑙𝑖𝑞 − 𝑃𝑔𝑎𝑠 𝜋𝑟2
= 𝜎(2𝜋𝑟)
Angle of Contact
The angle between the solid surface and the tangent to the surface of the liquid at the contact point
Non-wetting front Wetting front
