In Fluid mechanics, Pascal’s Law states that the pressure or intensity of pressure at a point in a static fluid is equal in all directions. So we need to understand the Fluid pressure at any given point. Let us discuss more details on the Fluid pressure at any given point and the Pascals law. In […]

What is the Gas Constant (R)?
We have discussed the physical properties of Fluids in the previous article. Fluids are either liquids or gases. A Gas constant or Universal molar Gas constant is used to determine the behaviour of a gas under the theoretical conditions. It is denoted by R. Let us discuss more details on the Gas constant. As we […]
What are Surface Tension and Capillarity?
In Fluid Mechanics, Surface tension is one of the important physical properties of fluid among Density and Viscosity. Surface tension is defined as the tensile force acting on the surface of a liquid in contact with a gas or on the surface between two immiscible liquids such that the contact surface behaves like a membrane […]
What is Viscosity of Fluid? | Viscosity Units
In Fluid Mechanics, Viscosity is defined as the property of a fluid that offers resistance to the movement of one layer of fluid over another adjacent layer of the fluid. We have discussed the different physical properties of Fluids in the previous article. In this article, we will discuss the Viscosity of fluid and the […]
Physical Properties of Fluids in Fluid Mechanics
We have discussed the mechanical properties of engineering materials in the previous articles. Fluids (liquids and gases) are also a very important part of engineering. The branch of science deal with the dynamics and mechanics of fluids called Fluid Mechanics. Let us understand a few important terminologies before we understand the properties of the Fluids […]
What is Galvanizing and Electroplating Process?
The galvanizing process is a specific coating of zinc on on metals to prevent rusting. Whereas electroplating is various options of metal for coating for many other reasons. Let us discuss these Galvanizing and Electroplating Processes with neat schematic diagrams. Galvanizing Process Galvanizing is the name given to the process of coating steel sheets with […]
Powder Metallurgy Process
We have discussed different manufacturing processes, such as Casting, Moulding, Forming, Machining and Joining. Powder metallurgy is also one of the manufacturing techniques to produce precise and highly accurate parts. In Powder metallurgy, the products are produced by pressing powdered metals and alloys into a rigid die under extreme pressure. Let us understand what are […]
