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
