3.1: Pressure, p, p• For fluids at rest, only normal forces exist,

which are basically known as pressurewhich are basically known as pressure forces.

• At every point in a static fluid, a pressure d fi d f ll i tdefined as follows exists:

• Pressure is a scalar quantity. It is unit: N/m2

(pa), Ibf/in2 (psi), or Ibf/ft2 (psf)• Pressure at a point in a static fluid acts with

the same magnitude in all directions.

Pressure is defined as a normal force exerted by aPressure is defined as a normal force exerted by a fluid per unit area. We speak of pressure only when we deal with a gas or a liquid. The counterpart of

i lid i l t Si ipressure in solids is normal stress. Since pressure is defined as force per unit area, it has the unit of newtons per square meter (N/m2), which is called a pascal (Pa).

Pressure Transmission Pascal’s law states • Pascal’s principle states that a

pressure change produced at one point in the system will be transmitted

that increase in pressure onthe surface of a confined fluid isp y

throughout the entire system.• A consequence of the pressure in a

fluid remaining constant in the

confined fluid is transmittedundiminished throughout the g

horizontal direction is that the pressure applied to a confined fluid increases the pressure throughout by

confining vessel orsystem

Absolute, Gage, and Vacuum Pressure

P• Pabs=pgage+ patm

• Pressure values measured with reference to the atmospheric pressure are referred to as gage pressures.

• Most pressure measurement devices measure gage pressure, such as the g g p ,Bourdon-tube gage.

12

Absolute and Gage Pressureg

• Gage pressures can take negative values.• Negative gage pressures are also referred

to as vacuum pressures.p• If the atmospheric pressure is 101.3 kPa

which is measured at sea level at T=23 oC:which is measured at sea level at T=23 C:• 50 kPa gage = 151.3 kPa absolute.

fluid, the pressure decreases

Pressure Variation with Elevation

• Pressure variation occurs only along a vertical path through the fluid.

• No pressure variation occurs along a p ghorizontal path through the fluid.

• Pressure changes inversely with elevation;Pressure changes inversely with elevation; i.e.: going down increases the pressure and going up decreases the pressureand going up decreases the pressure.

• For a fluid with uniform density, integrating the basic equation results the following:

constant=+ zp γ

• This sum is called the piezometric pressure.

constant=+ zp γ

• Another form is:

constant=+ zp

• This sum is called the piezometric head.

constant=+ zγ

• Therefore, the pressure and elevation at one point can be related to the pressure and elevation at another point according to the following:

- Pressure Variation for Compressible Fluids

• For Ideal gas: p=ρRT or ρ=p/RT• Multiply by g: ρg=pg/RT thenMultiply by g: ρg pg/RT, then

γ=pg/RT• γ =f (p T)• γ =fn (p, T)• dp/dz = -γ = fn (p, T)

- Bourdon-Tube Gageg• The Bourdon-tube

gage is a very common device that utilises the deflectionutilises the deflection in a spring tube to measure themeasure the pressure.

• Bourdon gages need g gto be periodically calibrated.

30

- Pressure Transducers• Similarly, pressure transducers utilise the

deflection of a diaphragm to produce an electrical signal that can be related to the pressure.P t d id l d ith• Pressure transducers are widely used with applications requiring extensive data acquisition and processingand processing.

31

3.4:Hydrostatic Forces on Plane SurfacesSurfaces• For a horizontal surface in a fluid, the

pressure is uniformly distributed and the resulting force is simply equal to the product of the pressure and the area.

• For a vertical or an inclined surface the pressure is not uniformly distributed p yand thus some derivation is required to determine the resulting force.

Hydrostatic Forces on Plane SurfacesSurfaces• The pressure on the differential area is

equal to:αγ sinyp =

• In short, the magnitude of the resultant hydrostatic force on a plane surface is the

d t f th t th t id fproduct of the pressure at the centroid of the surface and the area of that surface.

37

Buoyancyy y

• Consequently, the buoyant force on a submerged body is equal to the weight of the liquid that would be needed to occupy the volume of the body.

• Similarly, for a floating body, the buoyant y, g y, yforce is equal to the weight of the liquid that would be needed to occupy the pysubmerged volume of the body.

53

Buoyancyy y

• This principle of buoyancy is basically what is commonly known as the Archimedes’ principle: “For an object partially or completely submerged in a fluid, there is a net upward force equal to the weight of the displaced fluid.”

• The buoyancy force is an upward force y y pthat passes through the centroid of the displaced volume.
