There are 400 kg/min of oil (SG = 0.80) being handled by a pump. The lift is from a reservoir to an elevated tank. Determine a. Volume flow rate in m³/s and in L/s b. Specific weight of oil in KN/m² c. Change in Potential Energy in kJ/s and in KW discharge pipe suction pipe oil oil pump Reservoir 2 1 2 Tank 5 answers elevation Z₂ lift, Az = +20 m UPHILL FLOW positive (+) implies UPHILL elevation z₁
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.
