Question 1.1: What are the differences between GAS and VAPOUR?
VAPOUR GAS
A substance that co-exist with liquid or It is a substance that has a single defined
solid at room temperature. thermodynamic state at room temperature, one of
four original states of the universe.
A vapour is a gas produced by heating a Most gases need high pressure and low
solid or liquid that can return its solid or temperatures to return to their liquid or solid state.
liquid state under high pressure at the same
temperature.
A substance above its boiling temperature A substance above its critical temperature but
below its critical pressure
Examples: water vapour (most common Example: Oxygen, Hydrogen, Nitrogen, Diborane,
vapour), iodine vapour, etc. etc.
Question 1.2: Write the dimension of shear stress, compare to pressure and make a
conclusion.
Shear stress:

Pressure dimension: [ ]
However, the force F of the shear force is the tangential component of force ( ) as long as it is
normal component of force ( for the pressure.
Question 1.3: Explain the change of viscosity ( ) of gas and liquid within the temperatures.
In liquids, the larger temperature leads to the greater thermal energy in molecules so that
they are more able to overcome the intermolecular forces, specifically the attractive forces binding
them together; as a result, viscosity of liquid decreases with an increase of the temperature.
In gases, since the momentum transfer is caused by free motion of gas molecules between
collisions, increasing thermal agitation of the molecules results in a larger viscosity. Hence,
gaseous viscosity increases with temperature.
We have viscosity:
