Properties of Fluid Important MCQ Answers : Fluid Mechanics

Most important MCQ Questions Answers and Solution for GATE and Other Competitive Examinations from the Chapter Properties of Fluids in Fluid Mechanics

1. An ideal fluid is defined as the fluid which is

• [accordion]
• Options
• A. compressible
  B incompressible
  C incompressible and non-viscous (Inviscid)
  D has negligible surface tension
• Answer
• C incompressible and non viscous
• Solution
• Real fluid- has viscosity
  Newtonian Fluids - real fluid which obey newton's law, shear stress is proportional to the velocity gradient or rate of shear strain
  Non Newtonian fluid - a real fluid which doesn't obey newton's law

2. Newton's law of viscosity states that

• [accordion]
• Options
• A shear stress is directly proportional to the velocity
  B shear stress is directly proportional to the velocity gradient
  C Shear stress is directly proportional to the shear strain
  D shear stress is directly proportional to the viscosity
• Answer
• B, Shear stress is directly proportional to the velocity gradient
• Solution
• Shear stress is directly proportional to the velocity gradient or directly proportional to the rate of shear strain. In the option C only shear strain is written, if it is written as rate of shear strain the option  will be also correct
