Concept explainers

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 …

A chemistry graduate student is designing a pressure vessel for an experiment. The vessel will contain gases at pressures up to 220.0 MPa. The student's design calls for an observation port on the side of the vessel (see diagram below). The bolts that hold the cover of this port onto the vessel can safely withstand a force of 10.00 MN. pressure vessel bolts alo W Ar side view port Calculate the maximum safe diameter w of the port.
