 STATIC PRESSURE OF LIQUIDS, HYDRAULIC PRESSURE, ABSOLUTE AND GAUGE PRESSURE

 Introduction

  • Fluid has property that it exerts force on all the sides, top and bottom. Pressure exerted by fluid is given as force per unit area which is as follows:

         Pressure= Force Applied /Area Exposed

  • SI unit of pressure is newton per square metre (N/m2). This is also known as pascal (Pa). 
  • The values of standard atmospheric pressure are as follows:
  •   760 mm of mercury column
  •  10.3 m of water column
  •  101.3 kN/m2
  •  101.3 kPa 
  •  1 bar

Hydrostatic Law:

  • Pressure in a continuously distributed uniform static fluid varies only with vertical distance and is independent of the shape of the container.
  • The pressure is the same at all points on a given horizontal plane in the fluid. 
  • The pressure increases with depth in the fluid.

Pressure head of liquid:

  • Consider a fluid of density ρ, having fluid element of area ∆A at a depth distance h from the top surface of liquid (Fig)


Fig.  Forces acting on fluid element of height ∆h

Height of fluid element = ∆h

Pressure at top of fluid element = p

Force on the top of fluid element = p ∆A

Weight of fluid element = ∆A. ∆h. ρ g

  • Upward force acting at bottom of the fluid element =   ̶
  • Under equilibrium conditions (downward force = upward force),

   

     

    

   

  • Pressure variation in any static fluid is described by the above basic pressure height relationship. 
  • This equation describes hydrostatic law and indicates that rate of increase of pressure in a vertical downward direction is equal to the weight density (also known as specific weight) of fluid at that point.

         Integrating,

                      

                           P =

    Here h is known as the pressure head and its unit is in metres (m).

Liquid Paradox

  • The pressure in a liquid is not a function of shape or size of the container.
  • Pressure is only the function of density and height or depth h inside the liquid at which pressure has to be calculated.

Fluid Mechanics "Centrifugal Pumps"

Centrifugal Pumps : we'll just cover certain sections of it, it's on your course syllabus. But we'll start off looking at centrifugal pumps .  A very common type of pump. Swimming pool pumps, spa pumps, all kinds of pumps.  Quite a few of them are centrifugal pumps. I thought so. Okay,sometime this quarter, I don't think this early, you're going to run a test on a centrifugal pump in the fluids lab.  And from that test you're going to put together some performance curves for our centrifugal pump.   So, this is how we  test a centrifugal pump.  I'll go through the procedure that we use in our fluids lab.  We have a pump in a circuit with water in it, from a big reservoir.  The water is pumped through here, it goes around, back into the big reservoir.  We have flow meters in the test setup so we know what the flow rate Q is. We have pressure gauges at points one and two. A centrifugal pump is a radial type of a pump.  There's an impeller ...

First and Zeroth Law of Thermodynamics

 First law Of Thermodynamics; To understand thermodynamics well and to make any calculations in thermodynamics, it is extremely important that we have its basic rules. These are some of the basic laws of thermodynamics.The first law of thermodynamics in  will try to understand about this very useful rule through medium. Heat was not considered a form of energy when thermodynamics was developing. But after some time it was proved that heat is also a form of energy, after that an attempt to find a relationship between heat and work started. Heat and work are two different forms of the same entity, and that entity is called energy. This means that if heat is supplied to a system, it can come out as work, or as work is done on a system, it can come out as heat. While the relationship between heat and work came out, a new term introduced the whole world, which was called internal energy. The first law of thermodynamics shows the relation between heat, work and internal energy. F...
