A large diameter tank with the top closed and sealed is filled to a fluid depth of 3 meters. (fluid density 1200 kg/m3). Above the fluid the space is pressurized to force the fluid to flow through a 2 centimeter diameter pipe attached at the bottom of the tank rising from the bottom to a height of 5 meters (2 meters above the tank fill line. What pressure above the fluid fill line will provide a flow speed of 5 m/sec for the fluid flowing from the top of the pipe) The atmospheric pressure outside the pipe and tank is 1e+5 pascal or newtons/square meter. What is the volume per second flowing from the pipe initially in question 2a (1 cm radius pipe)
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.
