A fluid flows with a turbulence of 1.04 with a flow rate of 0.053 m3 / s through a horizontal pipe whose diameter is reduced from 18 cm to 9 cm by a constriction. Since the pressure in the center of the pipe is measured to be 452 kPa before contraction and then 412 kPa, what is the strength of mechanical loss in contraction? Take the density of the fluid to be 950 kg / m3.
Fluid Pressure
The term fluid pressure is coined as, the measurement of the force per unit area of a given surface of a closed container. It is a branch of physics that helps to study the properties of fluid under various conditions of force.
Gauge Pressure
Pressure is the physical force acting per unit area on a body; the applied force is perpendicular to the surface of the object per unit area. The air around us at sea level exerts a pressure (atmospheric pressure) of about 14.7 psi but this doesn’t seem to bother anyone as the bodily fluids are constantly pushing outwards with the same force but if one swims down into the ocean a few feet below the surface one can notice the difference, there is increased pressure on the eardrum, this is due to an increase in hydrostatic pressure.
