A streamline is a line drawn in the fluid such that a tangent to the streamline at any
point is parallel to the fluid velocity at that point

Density
• Density is the mass per unit volume • In general, density of a fluid
of a fluid. In other words, it is the decreases with increase in
ratio between mass (m) and volume temperature. It increases with
(V) of a fluid. increase in pressure.
Viscosity
• Viscosity is the fluid property that • In a liquid, viscosity decreases with

of the fluid to shear stress. It is the viscosity increases with increase in
property of the fluid due to which the temperature.
fluid offers resistance to flow of one
layer of the fluid over another
adjacent layer.
Temperature
• It is the property that determines the 3 Temperature Scales
degree of hotness or coldness or the
level of heat intensity of a fluid. 1. Celsius
2. Fahrenheit
3. Kelvin Scale
• Pressure of a fluid is the force per unit area of the fluid. In other words, it is the ratio
of force on a fluid to the area of the fluid held perpendicular to the direction of the
force.
Specific Volume
• Specific volume is the volume of a fluid (V) occupied per unit mass (m). It is the
reciprocal of density.
Specific Weight
• Specific gravity is the ratio of specific weight of the given fluid to the specific weight
of standard fluid. It is denoted by the letter ‘SG’. It has no unit.
