    Fluid Statics

    Pressure variation in static fluids


    Force on submerged surface
    and buoyancy.
    Absolute pressure: The actual pressure at a given position. It is
    measured relative to absolute vacuum (i.e., absolute zero pressure).
    Gauge pressure: The difference between the absolute pressure and the
    local atmospheric pressure. Most pressure-measuring devices are
    calibrated to read zero in the atmosphere, and so they indicate guage
    pressure.
    Vacuum pressures: Pressures below atmospheric pressure.
    Throughout this text,
    the pressureP will
    denoteabsolute
    pressure unless
    specified otherwise.

    The Barometer
    • Atmospheric pressure is measured by a device called a barometer; thus,
    the atmospheric pressure is often referred to as thebarometric pressure .
    • A frequently used pressure unit is thestandard atmosphere , which is
    defined as the pressure produced by a column of mercury 760 mm in
    height at 0°C( H =1 3,

    The length or the cross-


    sectional area of the tube has
    no effect on the height of the
    fluid column of a barometer,
    provided that the tube diameter
    is large enough to avoid
    surface tension (capillary)
    effects.

    It is commonly used to measure small and moderate pressure
    differences. A manometer contains one or more fluids such as
    mercury, water, alcohol, or oil.

    flow device by a differential
    manometer.

    Other Pressure Measurement Devices
    • Bourdon tube: Consists of a hollow metal tube
    bent like a hook whose end is closed and
    connected to a dial indicator needle.
    • Pressure transducers: Use various techniques to
    convert the pressure effect to an electrical
    effect such as a change in voltage, resistance, or
    capacitance.
    • Pressure transducers are smaller and faster, and
    they can be more sensitive, reliable, and precise
    than their mechanical counterparts.
    • Strain-gage pressure transducers: Work by
    having a diaphragm deflect between two
    chambers open to the pressure inputs.
    • Piezoelectric transducers: Also called solid-
    state pressure transducers, work on the
    principle that an electric potential is generated
    in a crystalline substance when it is subjected to
    mechanical pressure.

    Various types of Bourdon tubes used to measure


    pressure. 5
    The Manometer The basic
    manometer.
    Pascal’s law: The pressure applied
    to a confined fluid increases the
    pressure throughout by the same
    amount. (In a static fluid the
    applied pressure is same in all
    direction)
