Fluid Properties
- Density
- Definition
- Quantitative: Mass
per unit volume.
Density can also be
described as how
closely and tightly
packed the material
may be.
- Quantitative: Mass
per unit volume.
Density can also be
described as how

packed the material
may be.
- Useful Equation
- Density = Mass/Volume
- Density = Mass/Volume
- Below: Diagram illustrating the density.
- Definition
- Specific Gravity
- Definition
- Ratio of how dense a substance might be
comparatively to density of water
- Ratio of how dense a substance might be
comparatively to density of water
- Useful Equation
- SG = (Density of Material)/(Density of Water)
- SG = (Density of Material)/(Density of Water)

- Vapor Pressure
- Definition
- Vapor
pressure is
maximum
pressure at
which above
this pressure,
water will
undergo
boiling.
- Vapor
pressure is
maximum
pressure at
which above
this pressure,
water will
undergo
boiling.
- Properties of Vapor Pressure
- Vapor pressure is always dependent on temperature.
The higher the temperature goes, the higher the vapor
pressure.
- Vapor pressure is always dependent on temperature.
The higher the temperature goes, the higher the vapor
pressure.
- Definition
- Application In Industry
- Specific Gravity of a
fluid tells us how much
lighter or heavier it is
than water. Hence, a
lighter oil means less
cost of transportation,
which can optimize
the cost of transportation.
- Knowing the vapor
pressure of a fluid helps
in avoiding cavitation in
pipelines.
