Document Summary

Fm is the study of fluids either at rest (statics) or in motion (dynamics) and the subsequent effects of fluid upon the boundaries, which may be either solid surfaces or interfaces with other fluids. Complex: mass, momentum, energy kinematic viscosity ( = / ), thermal conductivity (k) specific volume (v = 1/ ) 2: extra fluid properties for gases at low and ordinary pressures: specific gravity (sg = / a = / a, a = 1. 205 kg/m3, a = 11. 8 n/m3), kr. 1 speed of sound ( cr k p c krt c p ideal a gas c c k p v v s (table a. 5 on cv. For air: m = 28. 97 kg/kmol, k = 1. 4, r = 287 j/(kg k), cp = 1005 j/(kg k), cv = 718 j/(kg k) ] A fluid is a substance that deforms continuously when subjected to a shear or tangential stress, no matter how small that shear stress may be.
