A- Given that the volumetric flow rate for a fluid within a circular cross-section tube can be represented by Q= ΠΡΑΔΡ 8μL where r is the tube radius, µ is the fluid viscosity, P is the pressure drop across the tube, and L is the tube length, calculate the pressure drop across a tube of length 1 m and diameter of 23 mm. The fluid is blood (μ = 0.0035 N.s/m²) and has a volumetric flow rate of 4.5 L/min. Assuming the same conditions, what would the required pressure drop be for water (u= 0.001 N.s/m²) and
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.
