rge tank contuiñing n-hexane is under a pressure of 3.40 bar absolute. When a valve on the bottom of the tank is opened, the n-hexane drains freely though a l.00-cm ID tube whose out let is 7.00 m below the surface of the n-hexane . The pressure at the mtlet of the dacharging discharge pipe is I am. P (bar) liguid. hlom) Use the Benmoulli equarion to estimare the n-hexane discharge velocity and flow rake in |min when the discharge valve is fully opened. Negleut the rare of tal of the nhexane ievel in the tunk. L/min
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.
